Meaning of Life.

What is the meaning of life?
Well whether or not there is a god or a supernatural creator or all powerful being, you are here. Trying to understand a purpose of life does not make you any less alive or any more. In fact, if one was to truly 'find' the purpose of life, it would probably be an individual perception of it.

I mean isn't it fair to say that it would not take two of us existing if we both existed inherently for the same reason. I believe that there can not be one general answer to the meaning of life because if you were to give a singular answer you would imply that the meaning holds true for each human. If I had the same reason for living as all anyone else then my very existence is useless and the purpose could be fulfilled by a single human, so why are there 6 billion if the meaning of life is the same for each of us.

If you think of it this way, you may realize now that you are asking the meaning of something that truly has no particular meaning. This is what makes life unique, it's what makes life pleasurable and surreal. It is because each of us has no defined meaning in life that we are able to enjoy it at all. If we were told the individual meaning of life the moment we could comprehend it, we would then consider it a chore, a job, or something undesirable. As humans we seek knowledge but only to find that it never is enough. Once we know a leaf is green we want to know why, and once we know why it's green we want to know what causes the occurrence that creates the green. If we were to know the meaning of life, it would no longer have meaning.

It is why it is very important to appreciate the little things, and to be observant. Life is about finding who you are and understanding yourself as an individual and your place in the world. Life is about being who you are and being proud of who you are. In life we must value the smiles and the good times, as well as appreciate the hardships that shape who we are. If we stop to ask what the meaning is, it is simply because we are forgetting to just live our lives. Life is one of few things that don't have a meaning, and because it has no meaning, it exists in all its complexities.

In fact, a more whimsical perspective may even suggest that that is why our lives flash before our eyes when we die. Because everything pieces together and we recognize the reality that life has no meaning except the one you give it, and the meaning of our lives can only be known at the end. The meaning of life is individual to one's self and because of this we must know that it is important to just live our lives; be happy, be strong, be proud. Until our last breathe, we must make the best of everything we have. How can you find the meaning of life if you forget how to live anyways? 

Summer

Okay so I had a busy summer, and was very preoccupied school starts in two weeks and I'll be back on my toes and probably post on the blog more. Sorry for the wait I just was very sidetracked.

I fragment of my book. Not edited but a piece of it to be refined later.

The fact that humans are so fragile is extraordinary, they are so easily broken and it is unfortunate that they allow others to break them. It’s as though each of us is a glass masterpiece waiting for someone to attempt shattering who we are in hopes of making them self stand out. I mean all that we believe in remains true while disbelief creates lies. So why would anyone believe that they were anything but perfect. Maybe it has to do with how rare it is for people to accept one another and just respect our differences. People are fond of judging and criticizing but it seems to be a challenge to compliment someone or to accept who they are. I guess that’s what happens when you fight yourself all the time. I guess being uncomfortable with yourself is a good enough reason to insult others, you know? At least many people act like it is. There is nothing wrong with organization in the world, there is only fault in control. People try to define beauty and glamorize features but no one is sensitive to what it may do to others. If we are all glass masterpieces then it makes sense that we would try to break others to stand out. Though I think many fail to see that we strive to stand out because we don’t recognize how beautiful we are. We all to often hold on to attention and what other people say to determine who we are but I think it’s essential we decide this for ourselves. We are all capable of beauty we just must believe so to make this true. What is the point of trying so damn hard to fit in if the moment you finally do you want to stand out again.  People just need to be themselves again, most are lost trying to be someone else. They will probably stay lost I mean you only have directions to being you so it’s probably best to follow the ones you have.

Nothing to lose.

When you keep asking yourself what if, when you want so badly to do something but fear what it's outcome may be, and when you know that doing something will either bring you ultimate enlightenment or severe disappointment, just know that these are the moments where you have nothing to lose. You can face your fears now, or forever worry about what could of, what would of, or what should have been. In our moments where we have nothing to lose we usually are held back by the severe disappointment we don't want to face. But you should know that the answer you are looking for should never severely disappoint you. This isn't the last chance you will have to get the answer you want, it's never the last chance to find what you are looking for. It is simply a wrong turn in the maze of life, it is a dead end that must be found in order for you to move on through the maze until you reach the finish. If you never find the dead ends in the maze you will leave so many paths unopened. These paths are the roots of unhappiness, they are the creators of depression, they are decisions you will always ask yourself, 'why' over. Why didn't you just face your fear to find out?

In our pursuit of happiness and understanding we must recognize that often times when faced with tribulation, we have nothing to lose. If we let fear scare us away from opening the paths in our mazes, we will never find a way out. We will run circles, surrounded by unsatisfied curiosity, we will allow fear to engulf the happiness inside of us, we will lose ourselves.

Learning

Failure and learning are one in the same. Failure comes from regretting our mistakes, but if we let our mistakes have reason, we have learned, not failed.
