Yeah maybe.

One song we used to sing those days comes to mind: row row row your boat gently down the stream, merely merely... Life is but a dream.

Me, am gonna enjoy it before I wake up..

Can you ever be objective when quoting me? First you called me feeble because according to you, I refused to see all challenges as fun. I asked a question that has been bothering me. It makes me human, inquisitive, wanna understand what this life is all about. I'm not feeble.

I used the sickler as an example for you because not all challenges are fun. Because you didn't make it clear in your post that all challenges aren't fun. Thanks for your advice.

I asked a question that has been bothering me. It makes me human, inquisitive, wanna understand what this life is all about. I'm not feeble



What actually led me to your thread was the comment you made on emegerncycase's thread. You claimed to be having suicidal thoughts

Fair enough, I also mentioned on that thread that I don't understand what life is all about, hence this thread.

Life is survival, life is reproduction. You were created to survive and recreate/reproduce.

What type of world are we bring these reproductions into? I'm not bringing any being into this messed up world.

Solstar:


My views are dissent. Those who can not tolerate it rain insults, and I like to keep them to myself. I know how far and wide I searched to get the information and I only share when I feel the need to. The world wants to know the Truth, but they expect it to sound like something they have already heard, even though what they have already heard has not answered the basic questions of Life, yet they refuse to listen to my version, which has so far answered all puzzles in Life.

It works for me all the time.

I am a seeker too, so I think I understand where you're coming from.

You wouldn't blame people opposing your ideas because most of them do not have the mental prowess to process the type of abstract knowledge you present to them most of the times.

Besides, most of them are already so doped with their normal religion such that they wouldn't so freely and willingly entertain any other ideas, teachings, or suggestions that goes contrary to their doctrines.

If only these people could just open their minds...

Martinez19:
my secret is that I place happiness over money. From personal experience, If we make money the must important thing in our lives, as we have done inevitably at one point in time, the kind of worrying that will kill you is out of this world . Happiness and your passion should come first, that way you will most happy and fulfilled.

But the reality is that if you don't have money, there is a greater chance that you won't be happy. Take my situation for example: I love history and politics, I want to study these two majors together but being African over here, everyone has pushed me to Nursing where I burn candles and headaches and stress and looking like a mad man. I have looked at my opportunities here with Political Science and history and it wasn't bright. And I'm from a poor nuclear background so they won't even intervene in my situation because they can't send me to college. Happiness seems to be eluding me as I am on this journey to make money anf help out my family.

Life is bullsh*t!

iBanger:
now this is the thought of a man not in Christ. If at all u listen to the message of Christ we live, not to die but for eternal life. clearly something most Christian don't believe in. because we have not seen or experience it. Hence the emphasis of the word on Faith. Jesus asked what does it profit a man to profit the whole world and loose his soul. Hence the onus of the mortal life of man hinges on the preservation of the soul for eternity.
Yes there is nothing like happy ever after or constant. Because external factors will always bring in the change factor. Forever exists only in the after life, so also is prfection of happiness and other desired of ours like a pgood job, stable income, 24/7 power, security, and love. You can add more desires of yours.
I hope you get the picture of what life truly is, we live for eternity! Also worthy of note is that the life of eternity consciousness brings along with it good things of this life as we can see in the lives of true worshipers of Christ.

How can a poor man be happy even if he believes in Christ? I know people who are believers but are also asking the meaning of life. So we suffer in this life because we have been promised paradise? Okay then I think these pastors should follow us and suffer too no be Bible that says it would be simple for a camel to pass through a thread than a rich man entering the Kingdom of Heaven? What about finding happiness here and then waiting for the eternity to come?

Ecclesiastes 1:1 The words of the Preacher, the son of David, king in Jerusalem.

1:2 Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity.


1:3 What profit hath a man of all his labour which he taketh under the sun?

1:4 One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh: but the earth abideth for ever.

1:5 The sun also ariseth, and the sun goeth down, and hasteth to his place where he arose.

1:6 The wind goeth toward the south, and turneth about unto the north; it whirleth about continually, and the wind returneth again according to his circuits.


1:7 All the rivers run into the sea; yet the sea is not full; unto the place from whence the rivers come, thither they return again.

1:8 All things are full of labour; man cannot utter it: the eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing.

1:9 The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.([color=#000099][/color]

What do vain men think life is all about? Personal fulfillment, happiness getting fame or amassing wealth?
However what is life?

Dear op,
This sinful and godless life is not life but death itself that came through Adam

Jesus shed his blood and died so you can be forgiven of your sin and be rescued.

Matthew 26:28 For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.


Mark 14:24 And he said unto them, This is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many.

Luke 22:20 Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.


Romans 3:25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;

Romans 5:9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.

Jesus offers you the true life
Romans 5:14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come.

1 Corinthians 15:22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.

1 Corinthians 15:45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.

No wori maky i go nak u d answers from different angles when i get chance. SERIOUSLY! What i want you to do firstly is to prepare ur mind for PURE INTELLECTUALITY for your question is from emotion which only but conflicts with the REALITY OF PERCEPTION IN PERFECT PRECISION obscuring ABSOLUTE TRUTH. Hence, make a lucidity of your mind your question is a very important one. Have a great day. I promise i would. I have been very busy living outside the virtual world of the anonymous lately. Bye and put some smiles on at least a face today. But first you should carry a smiling face your self straight from your heart for we cant give what we dont have. Take good care of yourself makydebbie.

Mr man, cool dan small. Think long term. Political science and History are not clear cut career paths, unless you want to be an academic. Nursing is a great course with a global demand, and it doesn't take too long. When you are done, you will likely get a great job and in your spare time you pursue your passion as stated earlier. You can even get a second degree, or take online courses if you want. Good luck.

Salam salam, Long time, no post..

Wa alaikum salam my brother. You can say that again. Hope u r good? And the guys on the Islam for muslims section? Those were good old days, hehehehe. Not much time for internet now. Cheers bro!

Why do some religious people think other people outside their religion don't deserve a shot at a meaningful life. I don't need answers pls. Human beings sha!

I don't think anyone has been truly able the answer the OP.

If you guys were given the chance to choose, would you want to return to thus world? Would you have rather not be ever born? Is it worth it? Why do people reproduce in this crazy world? Isn't it wickedness in the highest order to bring babies into to world?

Over to you guys.

IamD18:


Life don't have a pure and understandable definition, you can only understand some aspects of life, but can't have a full knowledge of what LIFE is all about.

Your stay on earth will be miserable if you get to have the full knowledge of what LIFE is all about.

Just live to leave.

If by your saying "YOU CAN ONLY UNDERSTAND SOME ASPECT OF LIFE, BUT CANT HAVE A FULL KNOWLEDGE OF WHAT LIFE IS ALL ABOUT" my question is how did you then come to your conclusion that one's "stay on earth will be MISERABLE if" one "gets to have a full knowledge of what life is all about" if you already said the above in capital letters. Shouldn't it then be that unless you have a full knowledge about life can you tell us as an out come from your experience that if one has a full knowledge about life then the result will be a life MISERABLE. My interest is how did you come to your conclusion if you already said a full knowledge about life is a "CAN'T".

makydebbie:
Please this post is not for the feeble or dull minds.


Is this life worth anything?

What is life?

Because, I've come to realize that we're just living to die. And is this life worth the whole stress of living? If my question makes any sense.

I've also come to understand you don't live happily at any point. Things will happen and situations will keep stressing you at every point. When you're poor, you want to be rich so that you can solve your problems. But when you're also rich, there'll be stress. You'll start trying to make sure you don't go back to poverty and invest wisely. You can't just sit and enjoy your wealth. Situations will keep cropping up. Sometimes I'm scared to be happy because happiness doesn't last. Something bad must always happen.


What is this life?
Is it worth the stress that issues will keep coming up and you don't even get to sit back and enjoy?


Being a child is the best thing that happened to us all. Because then you had no worries, as we grow, our needs becomes endless. We're insatiable.

What is life? I'm tired of living, living this hard life knowing I'm going to die anytime and my goals and dreams that I'm working for becomes nothing at the end. I'm tired of getting almost everything wrong. Tired of not being happy all the time and the stress that keeps coming up.


What is the essence of life if we're just living and suffering only to die. Because in this life, THERE'S NOTHING LIKE HAPPILY EVER AFTER. We're just going through hell, just to die at the end.

Did my kid sister type this or she copied someone?

Analice here.

makydebbie:
Lol, I know Christ. But there are some things you just have to ask and understand. Logical questions.

Ask logical questions to spiritual principles?

makydebbie:
I just want to know the essence of this life.
It's seems life is a battle that you fight to lose.
I even doubt the happily sometimes after. It's short. And the real struggles starts again. I've read birches.

Life is apprenticeship for eternity short and simple.

makydebbie:
I agree. The only thing we're promised in this life is death.

Not true. Christians don't die. Eternal life begins here. We only shed off this old skin to take up a new one.

We don't die.

makydebbie:
How is this purpose always fulfilled? Imagine someone dying a day to their graduation. What purpose did this person fulfill?

Hmmm.
Sister. Have you ever seen a 5D movie?

If you have, let me still explain something for the benefit of others who haven't.

To see a 5D movie, you go into a different kind of theater, not the everyday Cinema Theatre. You choose what movie you want to see.(Purpose)

There's a special seat, you are given a pair of goggles. You seat on a seat and are strap tight in case you find yourself falling were you are going.

The movie begins...

Immediately the movie begins, every memory of life here gets completely erased from your consciousness. If you were girl or a Lady married with kids here, whether you got a job here you are a student, you will forget all of that, as you'll begin a new life in the reality inside the movie world.

If your character was a queen of some Kingdom, that's what you'd know. If you had kids and married. Whoever or whatever is the character of the queen is. that is all you'd be and know.

You won't just be an observer, you'd be a participant. You live a full life span there. Living everyday as you'd do here. If you need to take a bath there, you wld feel real water on you. If you find yourself walking in the bushes, leaves will touch your skin.

You meet obstacles which you are expected to surmount, as you'd naturally know the rules guiding that reality. Failure to live or act by the rules you'd become a prey to the predators. If this happens, you get defeated or taken down by predators.

It is imperative that you keep to the rules as any carelessness can cause your life. When a predator takes you down, the movie ends for you and you wake up here in this earth reality. If you are sensitive enough to learn how to keep to the rules, you reach your target whatever it maybe in the reality you find yourself.

We all have different targets as we choose different movies to watch.

Now, sis. there's something very important to note here. When the movie ends for you, depending on how well you were able to maneuver the realm, you return here. There is a shocking realization that comes back with you from there.

1. You'll realize you've just been seating on a chair for not more than 30minutes, but in that 5D reality, you'd ve lived a full life time.

2. You totally forgot who you were here while you were inside that reality. As your consciousness was completely taken from you.

3. Everything you did there. you'd remember here.

4. You couldn't take anything from that reality to this, only your memories.

5. If you were a queen there, it ended there. A penny didn't follow you back here.

If you failed or won, you'd remember all of these. Now, you are full of regrets or elation over what you should have done or did, but failed to do or did which let to your eviction from there or your victory at the end.


Sis. We are living in a reality like that. God created this reality and put certain rules in gear, obey them, it works for you. Better maneuver them. you scale through. It doesn't matter if you were evil of or righteous. He is standing at the end waiting for us.

In this earth reality. there are vicious predators. Many if them. And there rules to scale through, failure to keep them. we die and the race of life ends.

Demons are predators to us. Sickness and diseases. Afflictions and adversities, Viruses and Bacteria are predators to us. This life if a battle field. Any carelessness to be alert, some little stuff can knock us out of here, only to get back into eternity and discover, 'I have just been gone a few minutes but i was 30 whole years on earth'. Wow.

All the regrets of what we shd have done goes back with us as we shall have all the memories of earth experience with us

A day is like a thousand years in eternity.

Your friend who died a day to her graduation fell off by probably not obeying the rules of this earth reality. Anything could have knocked her off.

Life is meaningful if you know why you were created.

Dearest makydebbie,

You give time to your studies, to friends, to this forum and internet generally. But have you for once taken time out to really ask your creator why He created you?

I came to that cross road May 2014, Everything around me was crashing like a pack of cards. I was at the verge of becoming a Missionary (Which i have become eventually). But i went to seek counsel and a Pastor/mentor counselled that i ask my Father certain questions. The answers i'd get will chart a course for me and will define life for me.

I took 3days away from human beings. I blocked everyone and everything off. One line enquiry prayer for 3 days. 'Lord reveal to me why you created me'. I have to know. Who am i? Why am i here or earth? What is life? Show me. You couldn't have created me to just eat food, grow old and die.

Day and night for 3 days i was with Him alone. Heartfelt, sincere seeking, asking and knocking. I found, the door is opened. Today..., I know exactly why i was created. I know what life is and my contribution to it. If you know, you'd ve entered into your rest.

Ask Him. He answers. Trust me He speaks. He chooses the medium tho.
