THE MEANING OF LIFE
    #5821272 - 07/04/06 07:58 PM (17 years, 6 months ago)

As human beings on planet Earth our time needs to be based on the reason for our existence which is to ensure existence of our species and habitat. We need to understand necessity by providing it enormously as our population grows into an exponential level. We need to produce massive amounts of healthy food and clean water. Living conditions should be equipped with proper hygiene materials providing cleanliness, suitable climate, and clean air. Medicine should be supplied and distributed equally. We need to section out our earth to use the maximum of our renewable resources. Transporting deserts to coastlines to eliminate erosion. Our education should be reformed into math and sciences become the most beneficiary jobs. Understanding anything beneficiary in the long run and work together to achieve these goals for the greater good. We need to learn to become one and work together. This means loving each other and making life less stressful. We need to become ready as a people for the worst of all scenarios such as a comet or any kind of disaster. God gave us minds we need to use them more efficiently.

I am about to get to that. lol

Idiots, as my good friend a fun guy would put it, is the waste product that is derived from an improper group of uneducated people who raise their children to becoming what they are. Uneducated people and mentally challenged people are two different kinds of people and one can be prevented with a proper uprising. Solving this problem is making education cheaper or free if you were a communist.

What about all the current 'idiots'? Do you propose forced re-education? Extermination? A global dictatorship?

You cannot force people to do anything but you can make them want to do it for themselves for the right incentives. If they do not care about themselves and are drug addicts they must be forced into rehibilitation for their illness.

So you think manipulating billions of people into wanting to do what you consider to be morally right is ethical? How would you go about conditioning so many people?

OH BRAVE NEW WORLD!

if movies started showing people how stupid they were and how they need to be smarter.... people would believe in an optimistic future.

oh no a comet's coming.
bruce willis saved us and none of us had to work for it
well what if
oh know stupid people are waging wars and raping the planet, and every single denzien of earth rebelled against violence and came together for peace?
(this is why V for Vendetta made me on the verge of tears... the people actually did something)
doesn't make a gripping blockbuster eh? But look at what consensus reality does, it loads us with constant pessimism, why not eat, drink, be merry, and never use illegal substances because that's wrong ? Hmm.... why not? Because peace doesn't work right?

That's why the hippies say "just give it a chance" all the pessimists are what is keeping peace from working.

We are in a practical semi-utopia but most people are still in SURVIVAL mode.... it leads to depression, stress, hopelessness, fatigue..... etc.

and funny thing is we tune in for a hefty dose of survival mode almost constantly with the "entertainment" we seek out (including suicidal bouts of alcohol consumption.... tobacco use, etc...... )

ahh.

I would say what we really all need is a long stay at a spa, followed by the spontaneous extinction of all televisions... or at least a revamping of the "news"


--------------------
I am the MacDaddy of Heimlich County, I play it Straight Up Yo!

....I embrace my desire to feel the rhythm, to feel connected enough to step aside and weep like a widow, to feel inspired, to fathom the power, to witness the beauty, to bathe in the fountain, to swing on the spiral of our divinity and still be a human......
Om Namah Shivaya, I tell you What!

Right, but in all seriousness do you honestly think that to be feasible?

I agree with the whole media aspect that is what needs to be changed first.

It wouldn't have to change--if people didn't want it anymore, it would dry up and blow away. The change starts with individuals making choices for themselves and their children (if any).

I think they should stop giving us false beliefs that everyone strives to become and cant which causes such depression and no self worth.

We are here for the experience and a certain value fulfillment.

we are here to be here,
we don't have a reason,
we don't even know if we exist...

if we don't experience the moment
is there a reason beyond the reason!

and if we don't exist
