i sometimes go chat section of englishbaby, to truth i enjoy chatting much :) Yesterday, i was talking to a few person in public till someone asked a question. The question was relevant with my belief. As you know, i am an atheist. So, she wanted to learn something about atheism.. it was clearly she was in doubt and i am helpfull one and started to answer her questions.. it was a clasic question and reply conversationtill she asked a question about the meaning of  life.. The biggest doubt inside should be that.. Why are we here  ?   many believers will probably answer this question "Because we have to pray for god" that answer was  one of reasons  made me forget about god..

Since i met her i started to think what is out aim in The World ?  what should we do ?  what will we do ? we need to have a reason to have life... Honestly i could not find an exactly answer. May be To Love ?  but if we were not born, love'd was nothing...

i have been thinking what i've done up to now

- to be born

-easting and drinking

-studying and working

- to respect others

- loving something & someones ( it is must to add "Taking Care")

- helping others life (buying somthing, working for soemone, etc.etc.)

 

 

 

 since, i have met her; ,i  am asking my self  "What if i am living in matrix ?"

and "What is matrix ?"

i will define matrix with SPACE for the moment..  i will try to find the right meaning :)   I WILL STOP THIS QUESTIONS ONE DAY LIKE NEO DID :)

is there anyone who could find it ? :)

 

 

be in peace

Hi Set_,

Thanks for your entry. I used to think about this question before. Actually, it is hard to have an answer exactly. It depends on situation. When we are happy, we will know that meaning of life, but when we are not happy, what's happen? We will disappointed and think that life is meaningless. After a hard time to face with our problem, we realize that we can overcome our problems and we thank life because it helps us to overcome ourselves.

So, I think if we live by our heart, love and help each other, try to our best to study and work, to become an useful person. That is our answer  about meaning of life. We cannot see it now but when we are going to older, we will know. :)

Have a nice weekend, my friend

Thanks for voicing the problem of existence. It is obvious that we are not supposed to exist for a reason. Everyone decides for the self as to why exist which usually drags the individual to a state of nihilism, the point of nothingness. When I stay with myself alone, the thought and inevitability of death fills my mind as to kill my joy of life till the sun rises next day. I wish I were able to adopt childish scenarios of "good boys to heaven bad boys to hell" to overcome the existence problem, but I can not. I think during my last stage of life I will be able to overcome the problem. My psyche rejects metaphysics at this moment, but maybe we will stick to metaphysical beliefs at the last stages of life as a defence mechanism. It is odd to think of death at this stage. And according to my observation, this happens due to loneliness.

Despite the happiness and peace of mind it brings as a side effect, I think dogmatic education and conditioning is one of the basic human rights violation and should be avoided at all costs.
