= ZARATHUD'S ENLIGHTENMENT =

Before he became a hermit, Zarathud was a young Priest, and took great delight in making fools of his opponents in front of his followers.

One day Zarathud took his students to a pleasant pasture and there he confronted The Sacred Chao while She was contentedly grazing.

"Tell me, you dumb beast." demanded the Priest in his commanding voice, "why don't you do something worthwhile. What is your Purpose in Life, anyway?"

Munching the tasty grass, The Sacred Chao replied "MU".

Upon hearing this, absolutely nobody was enlightened. Primarily because nobody could understand Chinese.

The meaning of life is whatever you take it to be. Any point can be argued, because there is no definitive answer.

The view could be taken that we are just physical matter, in a vast universe. If one takes this view, the world is meerly a place to experience things. If I were to take this view, I would be happy that I was fortunate enough to have a conscienceness and not be a meerly an animal. Id assume some would take this view and be hedonistic, and others would take it and have a life goal/work to make meaning of it all.

Others can take the view that there is somthing more than just 'life' and actions here and now mean more than just their initial consequences. If right, their life is justified at the end. If wrong, well... I guess they are SOL and might have misued their 'life'

I'm not for or against either one, or possibly other ideas. After all, the question is more of a life long question than anything. No answer is right, it is more of an evolving question, to me atleast...

Isn't 'Mu' Japanese for no thing?

No class, not one, not zero, not yes, not no; unask the question.

There is no meaning. Just watch The Monty Python's "The Meaning of Life" and that should explain it all.
There is not "real" point to it, we are just so damn lucky to have it because life is awesome! Remember this everytime you have sex or laugh your ass off.
