Life And Its Purpose!

           

   We all are born in the same way in different families, in different tribes, have same structures with different minds, different believes, values.
    But we all wonder about our existence in this giant world. We all think about the purpose of our life. How this all happened and how this entire world is formed and came into being.

     These are the questions which mingle the human mind and force him to find the answers. What are we? How this all happened? How we came into existence? A human, once so some, is now a big mature creature. Understanding everything with his complicated mind, making different things work for his convenience.

      Through all this time a human mind struggle continuously for the answers.

One life ends and the other begin.     

                   

   MEANING OF LIFE
    

                               

     The meaning of life—its significance, origin, purpose, and ultimate fate—is a central concept and question in philosophy and religion. Both philosophy and religion have offered interpretations as to how life relates to existence and consciousness, and on related issues such as life stance, purpose, conception of a god or gods, a soul or an afterlife. Different cultures throughout history have had widely varying approaches to these issues.

    Why are we who we are? Why do we exist? These are not crazy questions. They are crucial questions, never more so than at the end of twentieth century.

    But where do we go to find answers? Do we begin with ourselves? Do we start with man as man? No. we must not.

   Starting with ourselves will never help us to understand ourselves. This is the tragic irony of twentieth century man.

 To find help, to understand our purpose as humans.

    Questions about the meaning of life have been expressed in a broad variety of ways, including the following:

• What is the meaning of life?
• What's it all about?
• Who are we?

     Philosopher in Meditation (detail) by Rembrandt

• Why are we here? What are we here for?
• What is the origin of life?
• What is the nature of life? What is the nature of reality?
• What is the purpose of life? What is the purpose of one's life?
• What is the significance of life?
• What is meaningful and valuable in life?
• What is the value of life?
• What is the reason to live? What are we living for?

    These questions have resulted in a wide range of competing answers and arguments, from scientific theories, to philosophical, theological, and spiritual explanations.                                   

                                             

    The meaning of life is a philosophical question concerning the significance of life or existence in general. It can also be expressed in different forms, such as "Why are we here?", "What is life all about?", and "What is the purpose of existence?" It has been the subject of much philosophical, scientific, and theological speculation throughout history. There have been a large number of answers proposed to these questions from many different minds and from many different cultural and ideological backgrounds.
     Scientific contributions focus primarily on describing related empirical facts about the universe, exploring the context and parameters concerning the 'how' of life. Science also studies and can provide recommendations for the pursuit of well-being and a related conception of morality. An alternative, humanistic approach poses the question "What is the meaning of my life?" The value of the question pertaining to the purpose of life may coincide with the achievement of ultimate reality, or a feeling of oneness, or even a feeling of sacredness.

     What is the purpose of mankind’s creation?

    It is rare to find someone who has not asked himself or others the question: “What is the purpose of our creation?” A group of people continuously come into this world while another group leave it, becoming extinguished for ever - what is the idea behind this coming and going?

    If we humans had not been living on this planet, what difference would it have made? Is it necessary for us to know why we have come and why we shall go? If we discover the reason, do we have the ability to acquire this objective? Subsequent to this question, numerous other questions loom, plaguing man's mind and thoughts.

   Whenever the materialists ask themselves this question, they apparently cannot answer it since matter does not possess perception and intellect for it to pursue an objective. Hence, they have put themselves at ease in this regard by convincing themselves of the insignificance of man's creation!

    Is it not strange that these people envision precise aims and plan systematic programs for the minute details of life such as education, job, work, treatment, medication and sports, but, when they view life as a whole, they considers it to be aimless?

   Thus, it is not astonishing that when a group from amongst such people reflect upon these issues, they become discontented by this vain and purposeless life and consequently resort to suicide.

   However, when a God-worshiping person asks himself this question, he never finds himself in despair. Primarily, he knows that the Creator of this world is Wise and therefore His act of creation is undoubtedly based on wisdom - although some men might not be aware of it; secondly, viewing every part of himself, he observes that each one possesses an objective. Not only the brain, heart, blood vessels and the nerves, but even the nails, eyelashes, fingerprints, the depressions in the palms and the feet; each has a philosophy attached to its presence which has been identified and proven today.

   How naively we reflect when we consider all of these to individually possess a purpose but to collectively lack an objective!

   What kind of absurd judgment it is that identifies an objective for the construction of each building within a city, yet denies the existence of any purpose for the city itself!

   Is it conceivable that an engineer constructs a great building in which all the rooms, passages, doors, hatches, ponds, gardens and the decors have been meticulously built with a particular purpose in mind, whilst the building itself has been constructed without any objective?

   These are the points which provide conviction to a believing person that this creation pursues a great objective, which he should strive to comprehend by means of his intellect.

    Furthermore, it is amazing that when the advocates of the purposelessness of creation venture into the fields of physical sciences, they relentlessly endeavor to uncover the aim of various phenomena which they happen come across; so much so that they are unwilling to consider the insignificance of even one small gland situated in a corner of the body - experimenting for years to uncover the reason behind its existence. However, when it comes to the creation of man, they unequivocally claim it to be without an objective! What a bizarre contradiction!
