    In the beginning there was a light, not the cold harsh white light of nuclear fusion but a warm yellow glow. It flickered at first as if some breath was trying to extinguish it. Then it got brighter and brighter until at its highest point it simply went out. Then there was darkness and the cold, eerie, foreboding silence of nothingness. The light had been there, but no one knew!

    Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll when you are young, then later you're vegetating until death. :p

    Life is a journey which starts from our birth and reach its destination i.e. death when the path ends, we all living beings are travellers and time is our conveyance in which we travel.

    I think the real meaning of life is to learn and develop the ability to live in the present and live our lives based on the qualities of compassion, righteousness and love.

    We've been put here at random. Our objective is to survive and leave someone to keep our legacy. There's no meaning, it's only nature's way of doing things

    It takes shape according to people's way of life. living and finding family. If you have money you can have fun, sightseeing, but, in our country is a little hard. Actually; don't be sick.

    Greetings to all.

    What is the meaning of life? Simple. Cognition and unity with God or Goddess! :p Hmm, Hmm, Hmm ;) Method for that is Theurgy. Everything else is meaningless . Survival is not an option. Procreation is not an option. Only unity, oneness......Life is too short to spend on mortal things. Think Big!

    I believe above all else, avoiding boredom is the ultmost purpose of all creatures in order to focus on life continuity.

    Any creature which don't focus on avoiding boredom or have no need at all for that also have low to none life continuity or survival, sloths for example.

    Technically, the lower the creature's intelligence, less inclined to have boredom so therefore stupidity have direct connection to higher survivability.

    However, stupidity at random occasions can cause irreversible and catastrophic events which is directly the opposite of survival.

    In conclusion, the goal is to avoid boredom and stupidity at an appropriate amount.

    Such idolatries are human constructs not backed up by any evidential proof

    it seems the longer we survive the more intelligent we become, and the closer to we get to destroying all life as we know it ! what we need is one leader we can all believe in and trust but if we are to survive our purpose must be to find this ONE person ! world leaders cant agree , religious leaders cant agree , political groups cant agree , something catastrophic will have to happen to the world to make this happen and it will have to force people to join and help each other to survive . as long as we have more than one leader in this world he will want what the other leader has !

    Now that's a novel idea.... A one world government. Might as well create a one world monetary system too while we are at it

    laffing, good meds. relaxing, another set..

    both provide solutions,
    the panacea, any time, anywhere.
    using the mind!!!
    keep safe. smile, then laff at anything.
    as ya use a tool, u get better at using it.
    everything here is a tool, as seen by the user and then, the appreciator.

    try it for a bit...be one of these. use the tool of choice, to assist.

    'everything is beautiful in it's own way'

    no truer words were spoken. i use such as these. they tend to assit in other ones coming on board, as standard. word sets like
    ''best things in lfe, are free''
    think...whatever way suits....see...invent.

    take, make/create, a thought....
    a ''reality' can be,' by doing it in 'real' world.
    be wary, be sensible...
    use example[in reality].above- ie.
    laffing., relaxing.

    anyone gets better as you use or 'practice' an art.
    guitar, for example.
    ya gots to practice, to be enabled.
    then, 'fun' et al, shows up!

    p.s.will...the will. where is it?
    tumm, de tumm tum, tumm.
    .
    takes effort sometimes.,
    push...the item is moved.
    no pushes, no moves.
    ahh, a gr8 solve. gr8 salve.
    try it...feel it as it works.
    can't miss. never does.
    tie...tih.
    take it easy...take it handy. :)
