I am only 17 years old but i have spent my life reading book after book Blogs of millions of people i have watch the creation of reality of people and by that i mean movies in all of this i found that humans wish to be gods but as we create we destroy it seems like no one is who they are they let other tell them what is so they let their mothers and fathers tell them what to believe so if we can be who we wish why should we live what is the point of being here living i have seen so many people in bad lives they complain and complain every day how bad they got it but they never leave but once every thing changes no more pain in their life they seem to want it back they go and look for reasons to have more pain in their life like love why fall in love with some one you know is going to leave you in the end for thous few moments of happiness i am a watcher i have watches people in love and in the end when they get hurt it is not worth it

Answer 1

Son---SLOW DOWN. Do you talk as fast as you write? Who can tell where the sentences begin and end? If you talk that fast, no one could get a word in edgewise.

Why do you worry about others? It is ok to think about all that, but your words show that you let it bother you. The one thing all philosophers have learned is that human nature goes on and on, and that many people do not learn lessons from the past, from history, from their parents, from life, nor from using their intelligence.
Worry about yourself, learn what is important to you to achieve what you wish to achieve, but do not try to achieve changing men--at least not by the method of venting your pent-up frustration.
Have you read "Meditations" by Marcus Aurelius? I think you will find true meaning in his love of life, existence, his parents, his nation, his people, and how to overcome adversity.

Humanity=top of the food chain, and yeah we got egos that come with it but hey why complain about it as a human you are less likely to get eaten then any other creature in the animal kingdom and at least you are not a plant( for the most part they don't even get to move around) so why are you complaining. Sure there are a few draw backs but nature has shown that the advantages of being human have no rival found on earth( at least on land). So you might find other aspects of living challenging but as you are human you are better equipped to face those challenges than any other animal. Maybe that will put things into perspective for you. So to answer your question "What is humanity" Humanity is the best answer life on earth has come up with so far and they way things look we could turn out to be really good way to propagate life or we may be wind up blowing our chance either way it goes you can bet that life will keep trying and so should you.

I could not read all you wrote because I don't have to, so if I'm wrong in any way...that's the main reason.

I know what you mean. I get it. What is what? What is the truth if it changes and never stays the same for too long? Logic goes in circles between illogical thoughts and logical thoughts...contradicting everything ever known then proving it correct, then proving it wrong..etc...

A wise man once said and the key word is WISE. I don't mean it in sarcasm in any way or form. He said, "all I know is that I know nothing". People's first thought, "he's admitting he's a fool". WRONG !!! He was providing an example of life's logic. All that he KNOWS is that he KNOWS, nothing. Is it possible to KNOW nothing. Knowing is knowledge and that is something. Before you argue let me make another moot point, everything in life is moot. If I ask you, Is Lucifer God's creation? Am I asking if Lucifer was created by God, or if God was created by Lucifer? What is the question asking? What does that say about choice? Before you start thinking there is no right and wrong. Water cold or hot, is still just water, but there is a difference. That is right and wrong, wrong and right. Both are needed to make a perfect balance. One day, soon, we'll know everything there is...then the world will die of boredom. Enjoy not knowing right now.

Answer 4

Are you confused about love? I think most people have an incorrect view of love basing it on the physical and what you can get out of another person. Be you first and if love comes it comes through time and trials together. My opinion is that people put too much into another person and base their needs on another. You can't find love until you find yourself.

Answer 5

Humanity it the 'absolute' that will be the result when the human race crosses the finish line. Until then, Humanity is still a work in progress.

Answer 6

You're not a man yet because you have an overshadowing- overpowering father.
These wonderings will cease when he renounces his power over, or you take the power.....

Answer 7
