consider the life of a mayfly, its life spans only a day and yet it lives through all these things it learns stuff at fly school, fishing and flying, then by dinner it has found a few mates, laid some eggs and has departed its mortal coil by sun down. Now consider the life of a giant redwood. it learns tree things, and finally keels over by the time your great great great great grandson reaches retirement. Now turn back your thoughts to yourself. you are born, then you live and then you die. Its how we live, there is no point, and the best thing you can do is make someone else feel good about themselves, and the worst thing you can do is make someone feel bad about themselves.

Get up and start working towards some goals. Stop complaining about life and get on with something important. Why do you think life is the way it is? If it was all fun, how could you develop spiritual muscle? If it was all easy, how could you develop wisdom? Life is a constant struggle and you're stuck in the middle. So don't get depressed, start getting enlightened.

By working and studying, you gain by learning, achieving skills, clarity of thinking, and contributing to the world. Using your unique talents and skills to effect change, solve problems, and/or to create something original is a joy in itself--the joy is in the doing. All the best to you.

You are born to learn that you must constantly live with fear, with the terrifying unknown ---- but that if you can do so and open your eyes, you will see around you an immense, glorious and fascinating universe. Glorious and very scary.
Wake up and smell the flowers.

God the Father created man in His image. God was alone. He wanted to share His life. So He created man in His image. Adam and Eve sinned breaking thier tie to God the Father. Who is sinnless. God cannot be in the presence of sin. So Jesus Christ the Son died on the cross to pay for our sins. Now we as descendants of Adam and Eve have to ask Jesus to come into our hearts, be sorry for our sins, turn away from our sins, decide to live for Jesus Christ. It is then and only then we can live in heaven for eternity.

Why ask why? There are no reasons, because there is no objective reasoner. Things simply are the way they are. Live the best you can and strive for happiness. That's all there is.

You are born to experience the joy and the sorrow life brings and hopefully in doing so you will realize the omnipotence of God and then strive to also live eternally with Him.

"Ours is not to reason why--ours is but to do and die. Into the Valley of Death rode the six-hundred..." We're here to do our duty, and obey our conscience, and hope the two never come into conflict.
