The Yet To Be Explained Part Of Human Existence by ReubenE(m): 6:26pm On Nov 27, 2016
So many questions have crossed my mind of late, which I am trying really hard to give answers to. The most prominent among them is the very essence of life here on this planet.
I am familiar with the different interpretations especially the religious ones like, we are here to serve God etc but they seem not to exhaust the fundamentals e.g life after death, the existence of Satan, why there is so much pain and suffering on earth when things could have been better, what we are doing on earth when the same purpose could have been served in heaven etc. I know some persons would want to say it is because man committed sin that is why there is suffering, but man could have been created not to commit sin too, my opinion though.

I recently thought about life and death, especially now that death is commonplace. I asked myself if really there is a difference between living for long and living for a short while, since we all live to meet death.
Living for long in my opinion will only give me the opportunity to consume more food, wine, endure more pains, get more pleasures etc. While living for a short while is like throwing away a beautiful opportunity to live and causing pains in the hearts of those that love us, but either way, death is at the end of both.
Could it be that death is the price for living?

One thing I have learned as a person is to make wise use of the little time I have, so that when it finally comes, I'll have no regrets.
Secondly, I have also learned that this world or this universe if I should put it that way is bigger than what we think it is, and how it works. I believe those that lived before us had a different understanding and interpretation about the world, and those that are coming after us will certainly have a different one too.
Like I was once told, there is no absolute truth....

MODS, front page please....I need some answers.
Enough of Ondo election and Akeredolu
