If you watch Narnia the majority of the evil creatures (with the exception of the smoking hot ice queen) are very ugly. The good guys on the other hand are all beautiful. I would expect this out of an ordinary movie but not a Christian movie.

Isn't it true that one of the messages we recieved from Narnia then is that we should worship beauty and that ugly people are bad.

Alarm Rings,
Wake up you sleepyhead.
Time to get out of bed.
The world is crumbling down.
But you just hit snooze.

Now I'm late.
Jump out of bed.
Drag a comb across my head
Find my way downstairs
And drive to work in a dream

Rat race starts again
Run round and round
But never really do anything worthwhile
Just yes sir no sir, as you please ma'am
Don't mind me I'll blend into the scene

And then one day it's all different
A note a death and you are gone
Things stop suddenly for a while
And then we start to move on

Then it's all back to normal
The rat race starts again
Around and around I run
My mind goes numb because I don't care

I just want to play my piano
I just want to drink me some wine
As soon as your born you start dying
So you might as well have a good time

I quote my favorite songs
And go about my day.
But soon it will be over
I'll leave my dead end job

And I'll start to play
And sing
And dance
And finally laugh
Even a sincere smile would suffice

Seriously, what is the meaning for our lives? What is the point? Is there a calling that we all must discover?

( the argument from motion )

"it is certain and evident to our senses, that in the world somethings are in motion. now whatever is in motion is put in motion by another, for nothing can be in motion except it is in potentiality to that towards which it is in motion; where as a thing moves in as much as it is in act. therefore, whatever is in motion must be put in motion by another." - St. Thomas Aquinas

I don't understand you humans? I just don't know but I hate being alive.

Do you hate talking to human operators/representatives on the phone? What is the meaning of life and why are we here?

What is inside your bodies? Do you know that your brain controls everything you do?

I want to be free from this body. What should I do to become permanently free?

Is it a lacking of courage? cowardice?
Do they not see some kind of integrity in their beliefs by doing this?

No, I'm not mocking at other people and am not talking about myself. I'm just wondering about the point to which our determination goes and tries to accomplish our desires. When it is about a good thing (professional goals, etc) we become lazy or are just not comitted enough. So, what happens if a bad thing (this case) comes along and by doing what I have said we accomplish something good (the end of our suffering)?
Why not taking the last step?....
What is it that keep us hanging but we are just simply doing nothing?

Let's take for instance these cases: some unemployed people in his 50s with no bright future ahead, an elderly man in his 80s and bored to hell about life...

Non religious answers will be appreciated

"there is a thought in our minds of a being so great that no other being greater than it can be thought of; but it would be impossible for this being not to exist outside our minds, for the simple reason that to exist outside our minds is greater than to exist inside our minds only; therefore such a being, called God, exists." - St. Anselm
