Hi
Sorry for delayed reply to thread(keeping too busy off late).
Anyways, I am really impressed with the quality of answers by you all.
Mine was eat, drink and be merry..may be kal ho na ho. But, it shattered away with some realisations.
Let me add a little what I learnt about life(its just i m talking frm my experience)..What we want is happiness in life and we struggle hard day and night..bottom line is happiness and satisfaction..
Now, comes the point what are we living for??
Lets consider what is common between all the living entities(be it a small cat or a big elephant or a human like me)...wat they do in thr whole life.
1.Defending.
2.Eating.
3.Sleeping.
4.Mating.
Animals do all the above four without realising the fact and imp they dont have to struggle day-in and day-out to get these things done but pity we humans..we have to struggle 14 hrs a day(its getting 20 hrs a day) to get all these things done.
Its just we are doing the same things in a more sophisticated manner..by living in furnished houses, eating in resorts,...that means "Am I just one sophisticated animal..whos supposed to struggle to drive the happiness from life harder thn a dog or monkey on the branch"
This is the first thing that struck me..we are given higher concious level..whats the purpose behind it..we know what are we doing?? even thn we do not realise..there must be a reason to give such a higher level of conciousness..there must be some missing link in this whole mystery.Now, its upto us if we make an effort to fix this mystery or not...n ur putting ques on death n life..shows that u r very much interested..
There are many ques..like whats the difference btw dead body n living body?? all the chemicals r thr,evrything is thr..wats the missing link btw two??
let i m xyz..if u ask me whrs xyz..i can point to one part of my body(but hey thats my chest, thats my hand..but whrs me)..theres difference btw ME and MY..this is my hand but not me..common sense you see..
nmarskhole said :"this system is leading to the SELF_DESTRUCTION!!!!!!"..yes, so we have to get up and find the ans..there are ans to all this and much more but we need to develop that quest first.
Vijayajmer said:"to give best to whole world"..yes we owe it to all..but without knowing whats the best way to fulfil this debt ..we will fail miserably..stats shows the number of deaths in violence in last one century are more thn the entire recorded history of last 18 centuries.
a4ajit said:"yes, love..love without any manifestations..no hidden motives..a truly selfless love...only mother's love is as pure as that.. evn in this age of quarrel and hipocrisy its on verge of death.."people started eating fetus in Taiwan".
If any of above points strike ur imagination..i may continue..
btw..if u believe in darwin theory of evolution of us comign frm monkey(its been proved wrong..because darwin put some mental speculations only)..Also, science said : All cells in body change evry 7 yrs but neurons(brain cells)..but let me tell you, scienctists corrected this to" even neurons are completely cahnged evry 5 or 7 yrs" So, we completely undergo complete change at minuest level of this body..ques" what remains same".
n something so well defined..with taller trees in cold areaa and shady trees in warm places...i dnt think so thy can come frm big-bang..i wonder y dint bang in hiroshima resulted in sth gud n so well defined..
knits said:"purpose of life is to be respectful,
to be honourable, to be compassionate,
it is above all, to matter, to count, to stand for something" ..yeah lets find out what will deserve all such accolades.
coolgirl:" nice poem" ..hope we all can live it to this..and give love to all and the purpose to live life in state of proper conciousness..love will flow..
All this changed my purpose of life and I am just trying to unfold these ques.
