| Sometimes I feel like I stand alone on some issues, and that’s not bad or abnormal, but I think that somehow I shouldn't stand alone. I think that people just don't get it, or worse yet, they don't care. I guess that's just how it is when you feel strongly about something. I'm sure that someone else thinks that I don't get something and that I am wrong, which I probably am. I know that my views are influenced by my surroundings. That’s the reason that no one ever will see everything clearly, we can't. Everything we do know and everything we ever will know is only from a single vantage point, only how we perceive events. Because we are human and others effect us so much, none of our thoughts are truly our own. Every single one of them is provoked by a culmination of past events. Would you have the same thoughts that you do now should you have grown up in a different place, perhaps South America? Would you truly think the same if you had not known your mom or dad. We don't create thoughts; we merely assemble them from the puzzle pieces left about our world. Every one of us can only see clearly just so far before our surroundings haze the world about us. There are literally billions of people each with a different view on just about everything, but we will only know our one. I will never be able to see through your eyes, how you see things, nor will you through mine. I haven't lived your life, experienced what you have so I'll never see things quite the way you do. No one is ever going to be right on everything, but perhaps if everyone would stop to listen to each other, and quit talking quite so much we could get close enough. I'm listening.

| Just a couple of random things that I was thinking about...
People search for the meaning of life all the time, we all have probably thought about it at sometime. The problem being most other people and I were searching for a concise, couple of sentence phrase that applies to all of humankind. Do you know how absurd it is to try to find a couple of words that express an idea as vast and complex as life? Let alone trying to apply it to the entire human race. No one can tell you about life and death, the concepts simply cannot be placed in words. The most that someone else can do is prompt you into discovering it for yourself, and you can not find it for anyone else. No one person can tell another what their meaning for life is, we each have our own and every one is different.
Another little thought, people always say that humans are so violent in nature. They always point out human's drive to kill and destroy, and yes it is a terrible one, but keep in mind that it works on the reverse as well. Why is it that a person will help someone they never have and may never meet in their entire life? Why is it that so many of us feel compelled to place others over ourselves all the time? What happened to the instinct of surviving and being the best off we can be?
I have no idea, but my point is not all people are all bad.
...I don't know, those are just my thoughts. | | |
| You all already know what my take on "the meaning of life" is, but Whats yours? why do you think we're on this earth, and is there anything after this? | | |
| Have you ever thought what’s it all for?
After we're dead we're gone. Nothing. Less than.
Have you ever thought, what's the point?
Whether we make a difference or not, after we die we won't be able to see the world through a watch glass, we won't be able to see the future the past or even the present.
People believe in heaven, but that's only because they are afraid to die, whether they admit it or not, they don't want there to be nothing after death, there isn't even nothing. You aren't going to be nothing after death; you aren’t even going to be.
Perhaps if I manage to make something of my life, truly make a difference I can die happy. Even if I won't be around to see it afterwards, or even know if it worked, if I die knowing in my own mind I made a difference, then for those last few seconds of my life when I look back on it all and ask myself, "was it worth it" I want to be able to say yes.
Yes it was.
Will you?
