There are no right answers to these questions except those that there is an individual unique answer to every questio for each one of us. thakyou all for posting so far and keep up the good work if you want to.

not really…millions of people around the world hate their life. More frequently in the areas affected by wars/atrocities that were started by islam.
To the original poster, loved the wording of the question! I’d say that there’s no meaning. Everyone makes their own reality, don’t they. The greatest minds have pondered for centuries, and haven’t come up with an answer. So joe bloggs on here isnt likely to.

We have discussions like this occasionaly, but not on this scale. We have come to an agreement that there is a mystical force out there. whether it created life or is a result of life is up to debate, but we believe i a greater presence.

Not really… if He created people to worship Him then so be it, He’s got nothing to be ashamed of, He should be proud coz Hes done pretty amazing things like creating the Heavens and the earth out of nothing! Besides He’s pretty important coz He sustains us and gives us the content feeling.

it is not a dream. it is simply a state you can be in. you can be happy even w/o money. you can have money and still be unhappy. same with peace of mind.

The more bread you have, the less $hit you have to eat. Oh and happiness comes from the inside. I could be homeless living under a bridge eating out of a dumpster and still have a smile on my face. Other people can live in mansions and drive Mercedes Benz’s and be miserable.

Emotion, whether it be love or hate, joy or sorrow, fear or recklessness, gives meaning to my life. the fact that humans ca have emotions when it would be a much better survival trait to not have them astounds me. Though i like to thik, i enjoy even mire just living and experiencing emotion. Love is more than a candle. Love can ignite the stars.
