I do not understand life.

Everyday I wake, eat, poop, go to work, and do whatever else that comes into my day. But honestly I do not get how this all works. How we all came about? How wrongs differ from rights. I just do not understand. I'm Catholic, so they say God is the creator, but to create what? Why were we created to be like this? How do we feel what we feel? What is life? we go on doing what we do because we have been born into society, and do what we are told to do. I don't know I just feel like we all need a bigger explanation for everything, for all of this.

    That's the thing. There is no way to explain all this. It just IS.

    I felt exactly the same the other day because i had a dream where i was going to die and i knew it, i woke up and realised (obviously i knew it anyway) but i just woke up and thought, im living to die what is the point? I agree with everything you're saying. But now i've jsut got used to it. I'm not doing something increadible everyday, but im just living :)

    If you knew the meaning of life, you would be famous, rich or both. Join the club.

    Life is fun. Life is friends. Life is breathing. Life is praising God.

  • i think about it all the time too. and it's annoying because i don't know the answer to most questions. i guess sometimes, it's better not to question and just go with the flow..

  • Those are called 'questions of the human heart'... or so I learned in Religion today. Sounds gay. Anyway, I wonder the same thing as well.

    "Why do my eyes hurt?" "Because you've never used them"
    A few wise words from the -possibly created by occultists- matrix movie.
    "The Matrix can't tell you who you are"

    Introspect a lot, and keep asking questions

    The fact that you are thinking about this shows you arent occupying your mind enough. Your conscious mind is on over drive and you are reading into everything. Yes we are here, yes we do not know how or why...but who the hell cares? The fact is we are here, so instead of asking why just enjoy you're life and make the most of it. Trust me everybody thinks about this at some point or another, and it can scare the hell out of you because it is something you can never really know or never have control over. So that is why you should just push the questions out of your mind and accpet that we will never know.

    • It's supposed to be like that. People are so distracted by bullshit and just plain DISTRACTING THEMSELVES that they don't think about the things that truly matter. Thinking about life sparks a fire inside of you.

  • Right. Life makes no sense with OR without religion, you'll notice. There's always a limit somewhere. So enjoy the mysterious ride.

    Another interesting discussion is on Netflix streaming video: The Atheism Tapes. The arguments are all obviously against creationism, but they are very intriguing and highly philosophical, with physicists, writers, etc.

    humans were created will free will, therefore everything we do is in our very nature, we want to create a society with morals, wrongs and be in a world without meaning or purpose. We are soon to be assigned roles we are get at and must comply or else your life will perish.

    If you can't find the satisfactory answers to life yourself you should consider the answers and teachings of different philosophies.

    Here is a handy list of nearly all world philosophies. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_philosophies

    I recommend Secular Humanism and Buddhism. However, in regards to your confusion over morality you might also want to look into Objectivism.

    Well if you're a Catholic you might want to read Summa Theologica by Thomas Aquinas; an attempt to scientifically explain God.

      Wow this was said two years ago... It's weird to me. I wonder how much has changed since then for you, do you still believe that?
