World at odds (WAO)

Well that’s how the original Post 100 appeared, I thought some one will work out and will put some answers to question.

?

I think for the time being let me put on some effort here. I tried to experiment here, got drunk, assuming I will be at my thoughtful best while writing for such a deep topic and yes I did a pretty good job when I ended up posting this question mark. I woke up next day, put some google effort to understand, the meaning of life. But it is not as easy it seems. This question cropped to me when I dumped one of the Monty Python movie “ Meaning of life.” The movie is little creepy and too much annoying. It does mock everything from in life from being born to the something called after life. The smartest line said in the movie was towards the end “ Live life in harmony and peace than searching about those things that you already had in abundance.”

Keeping movie aside, I shall have my own take here to the question you all too must face. I  use to call it earlier to myself purpose of living, why we are here on this world? One thing that makes this question fade away is the factor of attachment. People attached to family, fortune and many more things you can think about. One day they will be leaving this body and if there is nothing called a spirit to oversee what you have done in life or an after life to balance your acts from this world, than most of the karma you doing loose there importance.

I am going off the topic, but there are many man in robes, from Plato to Aristotle to I think to some extent you and me, who had some philosophical connotation of this topic. Then there is science and alternate approaches taken from religion across the globe to put an explanation to this question. At the end where we all are when I ask you question meaning of life. I would not hesitate to say most of us will be blank and stare to this question mark in some bold and extra large font.

From birth you been injected with different aspects of meaning of life. Some part of it is in form of religion or god. Parents tell you not to harm other living things, never to lie, learn to live in harmony, do community service and some other things which you can put under the tag of sanskars. This is filtering of the philosophy of life or understanding that comes down to you from ages of experience. Than suddenly you are into a real world, learn some materialistic truth and facts such as you have to survive and feed some mouths. It takes the karma theory, every action is adjudged against the purpose. Meaning of life now goes in the backdrop.

Than there are some people who disown life or i say it appears to us like that. they have lifted themselves to a level, we do not understand what they say. For years they bang there heads in wall, trying to tell us what they know about the meaning of life. One day, they die and we come to know what these people were about. Next thing, we interpret there findings by our findings and had a new set of answers to old set of questions.

I copies the following para from wiki, how it put the question of meaning of life:-

Questions about the meaning of life have been expressed in a broad variety of ways, including the following:

• What is the meaning of life? What's it all about?

• Why are we here? What are we here for?

• What is the origin of life?

• What is the nature of life? What is the nature of reality?

• What is the purpose of life? What is one's purpose in life?

• What is the significance of life?

• What is meaningful and valuable in life?

• What is the value of life?

• What is the reason to live? What are we living for?

I think the best one can do is keep doing what he is doing with his best effort, not thinking about all those theories and explanation of other.had a simple set of rules that one will try to do justice to all the duty and actions he has to fulfill in this life. Who create or destroy this life or you have an afterlife, nothing can answer this for you and anybody. Who doubts can  doubt the existence of god standing in front of him doing miracles, saying he is a thing form extra terrestrial space doing stuff with extra science edge.

Well thing is I do not have an answer here and the best answer was the ? I posted last night. ….

Cheers Mate
