who am i? why are we here? whats the point? whats my place in this world?

Answer 1

Just because there is no point, doesn't mean its pointless

Answer 2

You have got a life to live with certainly a time limit that you never know until it runs out. There is no point in questioning it. If you do, you will become another monk. And what is the point in becoming a monk? Your place in this world is where you are and where you want to be.

Answer 3

I ask this same question once in a meditation. The answer came clear as a bell.

It said I have placed you here to learn the true meaning of Love. What ever it was that was answering then told me something that really set me back. It said that I felt the way I did about certain people because I did not understand the true meaning of love. I protested and said that I did my best to love all of the people who were deserving of love.

It replied "yes that is your misunderstanding. You see love as something that you dole out in tiny little portions here and there to people who you have judged to be worthy of it. This is not love at all, it is only judgment". This stopped me dead in my tracks. I suddenly realized that what it was saying to me was true. This realization brought me to tears. It went
on and told me, "You treat love as though there is some shortage of it. It is not something that you can run out of. The more love that you give, the more love that there is in the world. Its that simple. The only way that there can be a shortage of it is if you hoard it and keep it to yourself."

It went on to explain, that "this is what Jesus was trying to tell you when he asked you to turn the other cheek, to judge not and to love your neighbor. He made no exceptions in these things that he requested of you. Why are you making exceptions, and judging some as worthy of love and others as not? Jesus fully intended for you to apply this love that you are to all, in a universal manner without any judgment of any sort". By this time the tears Were flowing freely. I was crying because for the first time in my life I Understood what the message Jesus left for us in the bible actually meant.

This has become my truth. I can't say what yours is for sure, but I have a feeling that it is probably similar.

Love and blessings

When will I find my place

Written by: Wendy McBean

I try to open up,
But only to close my heart again,
I try to understand these feelings of pain and sorrow,
But only to cause more pain and suffering,
My pain is so deep and hurtful,
It feels as if I will never heal,
I am trying to see the way to happiness and peace,
But all I see is darkness and empty space,
Am I going the wrong way?
Am I ever going to be able to open up?
When will I ever be able to find happiness and peace?
The path ahead is so dark and cold,
So lonely,
So desolate,
The only way to find the light is to open up to someone,
But how can I possibly do that if no one will let me be myself?
When will I find my place in this world?

Answer 6

I don't know.
And if you find the answer for the last question, you will find the answer for all of these mere questions. I called them mere just because don't think and do nothing(except, of course thinking), but stand up, take a look and see the world around you. If you find someone to help(people, animals, plants), you will:
1. become a savior
2. be here to help somebody
3.that's the point
4.to help and becomming better person.

Answer 7

one thing at a time, there's no magic answer. we are all very individual.
