Existence And Stuff Like That.

Many a times i wonder..what is the point of our existence? Its the most fundamental question that has been asked, pondered over and argued about. But what really needs to be asked is why should our existence have any point ?

We often seem to be doing a whole lot of things that we really dont understand why we do them. We define them either as an interest, or a non-interest. Interest being stuff we like to do. Non-interest is most probably jobs we do or some activities we are obliged to do.

Humans are really the worst species ever. In fact the most complicated. They have a need to define everything possible. And by define i mean that they need to understand every detail about everything. If its not defined then it does not exist.

A simple example such as God. The first argument is whether God exists or not. For some, who have experienced a miracle or an out of the world elevation, tend to believe that God exists. And then there are the atheists. For them God has not been defined. So they simply dont believe. The second argument is whether God is Male or Female. Keeping aside all the idols and imagery that are supposed to represent God...do we truly know if God is male or female ? Or should God have a gender ? These 2 arguments have caused God as an entity to remain more or less undefined. And since its still undefined, humans have a hard time trying to understand it.

Considering the fact that the majority of the world attribute their existence to God..that God put them on this earth for some specific reason, we again arrive at the question, so what is the reason we are here for ?

There is a theory that states that the whole human race suffers from something known as, in simple terms, global amnesia. We all have forgotten where we come from. Apparently millions of years ago there must have occured a terrible catastrophe, which caused so much trauma, that humans have suppressed the memory. This suppression is not peculiar to just any one race..but the whole human race.

So maybe, just maybe, if we really want to know what is this meaning of life, then introspection can get you somewhere. What is required is time and patience to know yourself better because very often we dont understand this body and mind of ours. And just maybe, the answer may not really be THAT complicated and that its not out there to be found, but in you to be realised.
