The meaning of life: A short story

pick one......

Yeah, the topic touches on about 50 seperate threads some very strong debate. I do alot of analytical thinking always ask why and how come we do stuff or I. I think life is pretty rough with hints of greatness. I've been back and forth on the god/science belief. I come to the conclusion that no one knows factually where we are going and its a huge waste of time arguing about it. Although 95% of the people/scientist say they know because they want to act smart. The whole I'm big your little ego thing..I'm smart you are not crap. I figured since I'm not sure and don't have facts ect. I determined to go from facts to hope what we hope for to come. I widdled it down to 2 opions. Option 1 you hope in evolution/goto the grave and stay idea. Option 2 you hope for a after life whether its a god, space ship, aliens what ever. Like I said earlier I've been back and forth. I come to my conclusion is I prefer to hope in something better than here. I can't tell my kids this is it run with it. I have to teach them to have hope in something better. I kind of use logic and not a religion to determine these options. I think its pretty simple one option just makes much more sense. Some might say hold on your lying, you believe/ hope for a lie. Well, I stated earlier I don't know the facts and basically either do they. If your saying, to yourself I have it figured out..ya might want to eat a piece of humble pie for a sec. ya havn't been there yet<-fact..unless i'm talking to a ghost8o<--fact.
 
Thanks for not flaming each other and dissecting each others view points respectfully guys.
As much as you may disagree with each other it's nice to see you challenge each other without name calling.
Apart from the gift of personal insights shared by fellow members whether it be in the form of prose or poetry, it's one of the things I enjoy most about this part of Bluelight. :)

Same here, and I'm glad this has sparked people to be constructive rather than start flaming one another.

I do want you all to know I by no means think that ending your life promises a new one that will allow you to forget the past life and live a happy new one as a rich, sexy, successful business person (not that that is what I would want, but it's fairly generic).

There is much more to this than meets the eye, and the only thing I ask is to decipher the hard parts on your own, or write something up and post it. Life can be as easy or as hard as you wish it to be -- we make our lives what they are, regardless of the variables surrounding us.

The power of will overcomes the toughest of situations - I am living proof of this.
