Some people think that acquiring assets, adult toys, and wealth is the sole purpose of life.
Some people think that spiritual and/or religious pursuits, meditation, and contemplation is the sole purpose of life.
Some people think that living off the government, one's family, and/or parents is the sole purpose of life.
Some people think that living a mediocre life and not complaining is the sole purpose of life.
Who is right and who is wrong?
Maybe both are right...
I think that having a mind and the desire to use that mind is the ultimate joy in life... in other words... THINKING... and perhaps the acquisition of knowledge and/or understanding from that thinking... is what we were really intended to do.
Unfortunately, people don't really like to think... over analyze... as it becomes boring and tedious to listen to someone explain what they are trying to think about...
- Should I buy this house?
- Should I buy this car?
- Should I date this person?
- Should I work for this company?
- Do I deserve a raise?
- Do you want to get married?
- How many children do you want?
- Where do you want t?o live?
And yes, those are all boring questions and the discussion could go on and on and on...
But what about LOGIC?
Logic that leads to problem solving...
problem solving that leads to solutions...
solutions that lead to growth...
growth that leads to knowledge...
knowledge that leads to understanding...
understanding that leads to wisdom...
wisdom that leads to enlightenment?
Our ancestors have been around for about 6 million years... but, the human race only started to really evolve about 200,000 years ago... and, civilization as we know it has only been around for 6,000 years.
THINK ABOUT THAT!!!
It only took us 200,000 years to evolve into the complex human being we are today... for those who have studied evolution in biology class know that 200,000 is a rapid acceleration of evolution and it (logically) highly unlikely... but possible... maybe???
So, how did we get here? A species this complex...
Well... how big is our solar system?
- Our solar system is in the Milky Way Galaxy.
- There are millions of solar systems in our galaxy.
- There are billions and billions of galaxies in our KNOWN UNIVERSE...
Logically... isn't there a high probability that there are other forms of life in our solar system, and in our galaxy, as well as in our universe?
Give yourself some time to think about this concept...
