  • What leads me forward in life is my will to lern and live out the human experience. The fact that I have a limited amount of time on this earth and so I want to take in as much of it as I can. I also want to help others in need and make their human experience a happy one as well, wich is why I do a lot of fund raising and voluntary work. I want to do good simply for the sake of dooing good. I have never felt the need for a repaiment nor in this live or (back when I was a christian) in the next. Self improvement has always been important to me, and helping others improve their lives is simply an extention of that.
    I like to think of it this way, mankind in the course of it's history, has slowly improived it self, may it be scientificly, moraly, politically, tecnologicly ecc. (otherwhise we would still be living in caves) I see my life and everyone elses as a smaller replica of this, and by sharing my imput and helping others with theirs, I contribute to this moving-forward.
    We don't have a purpose from birth and we are certenatly not given one, we each have to find it. we must each serch for our goals. Mine is to become an artist, and travel alot.

    Personaly I have always considered the concept of God to be a justification of good not an explanation.
