I am here to get this right, then I get to go home.
A long time ago I thought that love was something that you reserved for some special set of people that you had judged worthy of it.
After a while I got to thinking about what Jesus had said about turning the other cheek and loving our neighbor I put the two together and realized that he had made no exceptions in these statements. It became obvious to me that he intended that we exclude no one from the love that we are supposed to be giving. I started thinking about my idea of love and suddenly realized that I had not been loving anyone at all. I had simply been judging everyone and every thing.
Judging someone worthy of love is not love, it is only judgment. I actually started to cry when I realized this. I saw just how much of my life I had wasted being judgmental, thinking of myself as a Christian, when I was actually doing just the opposite of what Jesus had asked us to do.
I thought about the verse judge not lest ye be judged, and I understood it for the first time.
I realized that I have a lot of catching up to do. So many opportunities were wasted. I now try to apply the love that I have for the world in a universal way like Jesus asks us to do.
If I start to feel afraid and think that I see someone that I should not love because of something I have thought or heard I try to catch my mistake as soon as possible. I tell myself that I have forgot the truth and have fallen for the same old trick that had cost me so many opportunities to be loving in the past. The horror of this realization is often all that is necessary to bring me back to my senses and make me drop the judgmental nonsense I was thinking.
I still have a lot to learn about love, but at least I’m making progress.
Love and blessings
Your brother

Give up grasping for meaning, purpose, certainty, and perminence... and you'll become awake, liberated, and free to live life through its infinitely small successive moments of now... through which things clear up in the process of life itself.
You'll rediscover the simplicity of life in which the journey becomes a sublime wonder and the destination merely a way point of interest.
Moments of joy and soro come and go as dandelion pods on a light breeze... and suffering ceases to be suffering in the ordinary sence... but rather a sublime existential wonder. A wonder that one exists at all.
One now knows without knowing how one knows, and can live freely without irrational fears in a world of uncertainty, in which everything is mutually interdependant and mutually created.
Life becomes easy.
The things you use to obsess about have now become petty as you've come to experience life through a larger more significant view of reality.
As such, irrational moments go as fast as they came.
And life has become simple, fulfilling, a wonder, and a joy to be alive.
DAMB... I'm out of coffee!!!!

My opinion? nothing to do with god. god apparently put us here in the first place, so that means we are his (or her) slaves? and for what? we haven't actually physically done anything for god, if you think about it. i think it is to do with saving this planet. not in the 'green eco' way, but to physically protect its existence for some reason. like we might develop the power to stop a disaster that will phisically 'blow the earth up', and this could have been the intention of who or whatever created the universe... the earth might be special, which is why we are here, to protect it. and the creator provided us with the raw materials that will one day save the earth. convinient, huh?
that is my unique opinion. oh whatever, its probably wrong.=] But people should be open to anyones opinions.
nice reference to A Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy, by the way, crazy pirate! :-D

Who says that human life has to have some predetermined purpose? Why can't our life be what we make it out to be?

Buddhism says that each human is a potential Buddha, or awakened one, as the acorn is a potential tree. I would say that our purpose is to wake.

Only the purpose you give it, and the how others see it for themselves.
