Life is for Living!

80% of humanity, the religious folks, don't need to ask the meaning of life, the church tells them....the supernatural explanation. But the rest of us can't swallow religious dogma, because there's no evidence. Nobody can prove that there life after death, that people are tortured or rewarded after life or that there's invisible spirits running around.

I've come to two conclusions recently:

1. Life has no meaning
2. Life has a million meanings.

First, there's a certainty that death and annihilation awaits not only you, but the Earth in general. It's an astonomical certainty that our sun will supernova and leave the earth a burnt crisp, not to mention all the other extinction level events around the corner.

Second, the million things that give us meaning are the pleasurable experiences we can conjure up during the short period we are here on the earth, in the form of the relationships we have with our kids and other people, and the 'housekeeping' types of purposes. What i mean by that are the curing disease, ending hunger, improving literacy, reducing crime, preventing war, helping other kinds of things.

So the bottom line is, we only have a temporary meaning to life, to reduce pain and increase pleasure, other than that everything is lost to oblivion.


To be or not to be? "To be" is temporary and "not to be" is inevitable.....

WARNING: THE ALIENS MIGHT VISIT YOU TO ERASE YOUR MEMORY IF YOU READ THIS.

Well, you don't think the whole universe works the way Earth does, do you?
No! One species, one planet!
Most of the races of Earth are descended from alien races.
There is a planet of deer, a planet of Asians, and so on!
The Joozians put them all together on Earth in order to create drama from racial tension from their unnatural cohabitation of the planet and the whole universe tunes in to watch the fun!
Asians, bears, ducks, Jews, deer, and Hispanics, all trying to live side by side on one planet! It's great!

The purpose of our lives as humans is to entertain the life forms on other planets through the reality television show that they know as EARTH.

After 100 episodes, the only reason that the show was not cancelled, the planet of earth not demolished, the sun not turned off, and we are still alive is because Cartman blackmailed the Joozians who produce the show with some dirty pictures that Kenny took of them while they were high on glach.
Now, look behind you.



















This was revealed to me in
South Park, 100th episode, Season 7 - Episode 4 - Cancelled.

I think meaning comes from purpose. We are all made to have purpose in our life, and each person needs to find a calling. When we do for others, help, prepare, minister, love, appreciate, and comfort in our lives, it gives us purpose. Of course I believe in God and knowing that we are ALL here for a reason, or else we would not have been made. It's tough to find a purpose if you don't believe in a higher power. That fatalist thinking of "chance" makes one think you are random and not special. In my opinion, purpose comes from doing what you love to and are equipped to do, for yourself, family and others with the help of God. Good luck and blessings to you.

Dear ME, you are asking the wrong question; you should ask; What is the meaning of MY Life?!

You have to create your own meaning as life is absurd and pointless except for what you make of it.
