How (come) are you?

Question

"How are you?" And you might answer, "Umm...just fine."

"How come are you?"....And you may have to go on doing meditation, reading through all books on earth, and may still have to keep wondering, "why this existence...why moon, why planets...why getting born...why getting dead?"

Please, respond to "how come are you", if you have something more to add there!

Answer 1

what am i
but a whisper in the wind
the play of shadows
in the candlelight
the memory of dreams
the hint of an idea

i am the trick of light
that jumps at you
from the corner of your eye
but disappear
when you turn around
to look at me

Answer 2

I am fine sitting on the porch out in the woods barking at people! I am HAPPY; HAPPINESS is one of the most important things in life!
One day, God created the dog and said: "Sit all day by the door of your house and bark at anyone who comes in or walks past. For this, I will give you a life span of 20 years." The dog said: "That's a long time to be barking. How about only 10 years and I'll give you back the other 10?" So God agreed.
On the next day, God created the monkey and said: "Entertain people, do tricks, and make them laugh. For this, I'll give you a 20-year life span." The monkey said: "Monkey tricks for 20 years? That's a pretty long time to perform. How about I give you back 10 like the dog did?" And God agreed.
On the next day, God created the cow and said: "You must go into the field with the farmer all day long and suffer under the sun, have calves and give milk to support the farmer's family. For this, I will give you a life span of 60 years."
The cow said: "That's kind of a tough life you want me to live for 60 years. How about 20 and I'll give back the other 40?"
And God agreed again .
Then on the next day, God created man and said: "Eat, sleep, play, marry and enjoy your life. For this, I'll give you 20 years." But man said: "Only 20 years? Could you possibly give me my 20, the 40 the cow gave back, the 10 the monkey gave back, and the 10 the dog gave back? That makes 80, OK?" "OK," said God, "You asked for it" .
So that is why the first 20 years we eat, sleep, play, and enjoy ourselves. For the next 40 years we slave in the sun to support our family. For the next 10 years we do monkey tricks to entertain the grandchildren. And for the last 10 years we sit on the front porch and bark at everyone.
Life has now been explained. This is where I'm at!!!

his mother whispered it into his ear when he was born
his father screamed it at him when he lost his hearing
and the wise man signed it to him when he couldn't see

he was umm... just fine, because no one really wants to know
he was umm... ok, you? because that was all the time someone gave him
he was umm... great weather, huh, because no one cared that it was raining

Answer 4

I am simply because I am. Purpose is a self-generated thing for us atheists, and existence is just one of those things that just is. Something, he he, you have to just have faith in.

Answer 5

I think, therefore I am. I know I am because I am here, typing on this keyboard. You cannot see me, but I can see me, and therefore, I know I am.
