Meaning Of Life Essay, Research Paper

Is there a meaning to life. First, to clear up any misunderstandings in the next

few paragraphs you are about to read, I shall explain a few things. I am not

talking about the individual people in our lives, that mean so much to us, or

individual lives. That is a whole other matter. What I mean by the "meaning

of life", is the greater picture. There are people all over the world,

doing their own thing, living their own lives, in their own areas. Is there a

point to this. The people themselves, benefit from learning and having

experiences while they’re alive, but then they die, and all they have

accomplished, ends. Then the process begins all over again with the next

generation. So one purpose for life is established. We are here to reproduce. It

has been genetically coded into us, and with little prompting, we continue to

produce tiny versions of ourselves. But, is there a POINT to this. Well, I

solemnly believe not. Some people say the point of life, is to have fun and make

others happy. Righto then. Sure, that’s a good thing to do, I don’t disagree

with that. But in terms of the big picture, what does it exactly accomplish. A

person lives their life, has fun, and perhaps has the knack of making lots of

other people happy in the process, then that person dies. And so eventually, do

all the other people they brought happiness to. And through different

generations come people who have the same philosophy….same thing, just

happening later in time, with different people. Nothing has been

accomplished…So, this obviously cannot be the point of life, unless it’s

inventor has the same intellect as that of pond scum. I would like to think

otherwise, so I am interested in finding another answer. Other people believe

that God is the point of life. God gives us a booklet of rules and regulations,

for us to be eligible to receive his personal ‘attention’. We respect his wishes

and act accordingly, as to how we believe he would like us to act. Then, it is

thought, he looks after us and takes care of us. I find this theory hard to

grasp…God, usually, is seen as this great celestial being, that is far more

advanced and powerful than any person here on Earth. He has these ‘talents’ and

powers by simply…not being one of us. So, there’s God….Way up there, looking

down upon us. Earth must seem like a little ant farm to him. If he’s up there,

looking down and watching over us, how is it so many horrible things happen in

the world. Some of you may say it’s because the people that these things

happened to, weren’t behaving how they should have been, how God would have

liked them to. Or that God allows us to make choices, good or bad. Ok, then that

would mean to me that God is an unforgiving and unsympathetic, celestial meanie.

Why should he watch us create misery, see wars break out, while he remains

aloof, superior and more powerful than us. I say that’s unfair. Perhaps one

reason for him would be, because it’s more ‘fun’ to us be so ‘handicapped’ in

the celestial scheme of things. It provides more entertainment, more adventure,

and it’s harder. And because it’s harder, he knows there will be more rewards

for us when we succeed in being "good". Something is obviously amiss

with this plan, since we continue to do the same things over and over again

through the generations, and centuries. We just do not learn this particular

philosophy of his. Perhaps he could have let us work the controls. Do you think

God has been GOOD at it. Heck no. Look at the world’s history…It hasn’t

exactly been a bed full of roses. Sure, God tried. But while the footy game was

on tv, he forgot to cut some of the thorns off the roses when he was preparing

Earth’s future. You reckon we could do any worse. I don’t think so. Seems to me

we’d all have just as much luck, even more so, at running a world, than God

would. Even if God really was this powerful, wise, kind and forgiving fellow,

why is he running a world. He obviously hasn’t succeeded in achieving much.

Humanity hasn’t made any real accomplishments (I’m not talking technology…I’m

talking about discovering anything that would lead us to understanding why we

are here at all). What’s in it for him, to be our celestial babysitter. Is it to

see the reward of us succeeding, and being ‘at one’ with ourselves. If that was

it, then when will somebody please explain to him that that’s impossible, unless

he renders us all as vegetables. Humans have been given a mind that allows us to

think, to ponder, to contemplate. If we are in a thinking state, don’t you think

SOMETHING will come across our minds, in the period of existing and experiencing

that will trigger off a thought of not being, so ‘pleased-as-punch’ with

ourselves. Highly likely, I would say. Maybe God wants us to ‘learn’ from our

mistakes, and that is the challe
