life's meaning... is .... what you make of it! ... thats all i got..

Life is what fills us with hope, happiness & joy, for feeling so 'gratefully alive' in this 'beautiful' (sometimes 'burning') world!

Thank You So Much Blondey111...

But, I also hope You're not content to only watch this once!

There's much too much deep-thought that this little film presents, for all Mingle Users to contemplate.

Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving
And revolving at nine hundred miles an hour,
That's orbiting at nineteen miles a second, so it's reckoned,
A sun that is the source of all our power.
The sun and you and me and all the stars that we can see
Are moving at a million miles a day
In an outer spiral arm, at forty thousand miles an hour,
Of the galaxy we call the 'Milky Way'.
Our galaxy itself contains a hundred billion stars.
It's a hundred thousand light years side to side.
It bulges in the middle, sixteen thousand light years thick,
But out by us, it's just three thousand light years wide.
We're thirty thousand light years from galactic central point.
We go 'round every two hundred million years,
And our galaxy is only one of millions of billions
In this amazing and expanding universe.

The universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding
In all of the directions it can whizz
As fast as it can go, at the speed of light, you know,
Twelve million miles a minute, and that's the fastest speed there is.
So remember, when you're feeling very small and insecure,
How amazingly unlikely is your birth,
And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in space,
'Cause there's bugger all down here on Earth.

Say TB Rich, I'm confident You'd find this short film very interesting.

Basically, it is an exercise is asking One's own self... 'Why am I Me?'

Are You (Put Your Name Here) more than the sum of Your bodily parts?

Hypothetically speaking, if there was MORE than one of 'You'... Which one would be the You, YOU would be aware of????????

I think you might might like Assangoli's PsychoSynthesis or as an old professor would say "The Great Assangoli!"

Hey...!

I'm BIG on Azz!

(Couldn't Spell It The Way I Wanted To)

Hunter S. Thompson put it best. "Life should not be a journey to the grave with arriving in a well preserved body,but rather to slide in broadside in a cloud of smoke,throughly used up,well worn out,loudly proclaiming," Wow! What a ride!"

Great example about the baby, I totally agree good can, and did exist, without evil for a short time. The account in Genesis shows how humans where happy knowing just good before they were influenced to believe the lie that God was denying them the power to be like Him. This lie continues up to this day where humans are offered fame, riches, power, in exchange for doing worldly, and often debasing things (which is a way of giving Satan worship and just like he tried to tempt Jesus with)

satan... so why is he considered bad? was god that jealous?

I see your point, but is it not still scientifically agreed that humans learn and are influenced to become evil, hatfil and hurt others.(not included mental/emotionally /chemical imbalances and dysfunction)?

I am not sure how God would be jealous of Satan? If God created a living, conciseness 'machine' which we (and those in other realm/dimensions are part of this 'machine'), and in order for this 'machine' to operate, smoothly, in justice and fairness for ALL, God would have to take steps to deal with those who use their free will egotistically and dishonestly. The word used in the bible that says He, God, is a jealous god, is not in the same way we understand human jealousy.

We all have a part to play, and the freedom to express ourselves and be also creative, but we cannot take what is not ours. That is called stealing, and is punishable in our worldly laws.

Satan is not human, and has free will as well as exceptional abilities. But I get your meaning. If he was perfectly made why did he become bad? what, if anything, influenced him?

Our free will gives us the option to choose bad. An injection of true evil came into humanity at some stage and has poisoned us all.... yet we can still choose to turn away from it and choose to do good. oh wow!!! maybe cowboy was right.

my understanding that lucifer was the prettiest angel, and that didn't jive with god very well... so a battle was fought and the devil lost... as in any war, the winners write the history... and, like you somewhat pointed out, god doesn't make mistakes, so the devil was always planned?


i just don't see the evil in satan, like what the preachers always talk... where was his evil in the bible?

good and evil are just words, whats evil to some might not be evil to others... a man kills another mans son, by accident... the sons father overcome with grief kills the man that killed his son... both mothers think think both men are evil, when in fact, none were evil...

it's like beauty, everyone sees it differently

you nailed it..

Hearing my oldest son (he's 23) harp on about his inheritance already and I'm only in my early 40's! Grrrr, it does my head in at times! Ha ha

Bacon! And coffee, really good coffee.

Oh geez. Rubbish. It doesn't follow from the fact that folk see things differently that there's no such thing as good and bad or right and wrong or good and evil.

This IS a philosophy forum, so at least make a valid argument for ****'s sake.

Good and evil aren't just words. "Good" and "evil" are words, but they're much more than that in the same way that "murder" is a word, but murder is much more than just a word.

Lucifer was the most beautiful and diabolically intelligent angel. He was cast out of heaven to the underworld because he questioned God and thought himself as better and greater and wanted to take over.

There is no universal meaning to life. Life is what you make it, the concept of free and individual will.
