meaningless existence
Theres' been a lot of things I think about & this is just one of the topic I have made public. I will attempt to cover this topic in an organised manner -- Existence - What really is existence? From what I understand, this has been a topic of discussion since ages in the philosophical domain. And IMO existing is a simple phenomenon which is as mundane as being.... as continuing. Though the word doesnt have any negative connotation attached to it, it doesnt seem positive too -- Living - As I see it, living has much more attached to it compared to existing. The difference is visible even when you say these two simple statements " I exist" " I live" -- Meaning - As I said, existing is somewhat stagnant. Somewhere, attached to it is the absence of a purpose, kindof vegetative. Living on the other hand, involves attempting do things differently, to try for betterment of you and others, to set and achieve goals. It is not a mere acceptance of facts and situations, but a struggle towards achievement. So, when your attitude becomes one of existing, there is an implicit meaningless associated with it. -- Being - Simple facts such as failures and successes are easier to digest when we accept a Greater Being (read God). I don't completely believe in the 'I am because of what I do' mentality. Somewhere down the line, the acceptance of God, gives a sense of security because theres' someone who is there with you, someone who will help you. True, that still 'A man's got to do what a man's got to do', yet the feeling is nonetheless beneficial. bottomline: Move from Meaningless Existence towards a Meaningful Life PS: I don't know how much of it makes sense to people, but this is just a small part of My thoughts .... |
