Ahh... maturity, what a joy! So why are we alive? Several friends recently have died of cancer and I am going to retire soon. I have been wondering (and not for the first time) what is the purpose of it all. We are born, we die. For the first time I am really looking at what I value for the remaining years of my life. Everything up to this point has been a distraction; organized religion, parents, husband, children, career. What I have figured out is two rules, " live in the moment with an attitude of gratitude", and "treat others like you would like to be treated". I still don't know why we are all alive, but it makes the aliveness tolerable. In this blog, people are able to disagree without others being rude in response. Ahh… maturity, what a joy!

Contemplating life ?", and that's when i realised...that IS the whole point. Sometimes, when i sit and think about life, i think to myself, “Is there any point to this?

You all right and all wrong. Something that exists is created and when something is created there has to be a purpose. This purpose is to overcome the oldest and biggest fear anyone could imagine or have and where every question we have is born from. I won't use the names God, Allah, the Allmighty etc anymore...i use the word Creator as neutral as it can be. The Creator overcome that fear for us, and have therefore the biggest burden one can carry, to be the Creator. For us humans, with our spirit within its simple to enjoy the love and return it to our Creator. To fulfil our solepurposes and in return we gain peace, love and eternal happiness. Unfortunately not many of us have such chances.... Why are we alive? Because we are the answer of the fear our Creator once had. Hehe you guys, are funny. You all right and all wrong.

Or, do we really exist? what is it about me that is making me think this in my mind, write it here and then also expect a reply :P Or may be the answer is so blooming strange that we cant decipher it through our current set of faculties. May be one day we will be so intelligent that we will be able to reason it out. There has to be reason, it cant just be by the way.

It is possible that other animals in the past have, or perhaps current ones do. Apes, dolphins or elephants maybe have questioned this. it is simply arrogant to think that humans are the only to have thought this, as if we are important or have 'higher meaning'. j I stopped reading at the whole human being the only ones to think about existence.

I could never bring myself to believe in the cultural construct of God and causal reasoning has somehow always worked for me, however, astrology intrigues me. The whole 'as above so below' has enough empirical evidence of being true (I myself has seen my life unfolding just the way my stars had predicted when I was born). Can anyone help me with the connect, in absence or presence of god at the background of this grand design/chance happening we choose to call life.
