The Meaning of Life

By all accounts it was meant for us as dwellers of the earth to live peacefully. God most defintely meant it for our good. Because of all the evil in the world people question two things so naturally at some point in their life.

"Why am I here?" And "Is love a real thing?"

Both these are questions that believers such as myself and scientists try to answer in two very different ways.
A scientist might say something to the effect that we exist in this world because of all the laws of evolution. We weren't here at first but we developed from some micro-organism or some dumb crap like that. They may try to explain the feelings we get from loving others as endorphins released from the brain and giving the pleasurable places on our body feel good sensations.
Believers like me believe we are here because God created us and this world. Simple. We believe that love is our gift from God. And in many ways love is God.

Maybe a believer's idea of life is a little more complex than what I just stated but when you get down to the point of it...for most people that about sums it up.

I have a bit of a mixed philosophy because I always try to see things a certain way...
Personally, those two questions mesh into one big philosophical answer for me. We were put here on this earth to love one another. Love is the supreme and superior understanding of the world in which we live. No one can escape love, we all fall prey to it at some point. We should want that love. We should never run from it we should only surrender. It is the healthy thing for us.

My own view of love is that it is the most extreme of the extremes...the most powerful of all powers heard of. Love the noun is an abstraction. You can not physically sense it in any way. You can however make total sense of it in your mind, which is why so many people have so many different views of it.

Love the verb is an extreme action to something or someone. The act of loving is pleasant and mind sobering . Loving allows us to see life in a completely different light. When you love, and you keep constant with that love, life is complete and joyful and peaceful. You cannot see yourself loving someone, you can however feel the emotions that come along with love.Love does that. To everyone.

I know I sound like a hippie right now but I'm not trying to because my understanding of love isn't about making love (sex) it's about experiencing something so different that sex is irrelavant. My understanding of love is that love as the abstract noun and as the most active verb...is God. And if love is the meaning of life, and love and God are one and the same...God is the meaning of life.
LOVE=GOD :-)

Human Nature

Sometimes people are just too proud to let people help them. Sometimes people are too proud to say sorry when they know they're at fault for something. Sometimes people hold up that brick wall to there hearts and won't allow love in. Why? I know I'm just a naturally emotional person and that the ease of expressing my emotions is not something other people have readily accessible. But one thing I do want to get straight is that I am not a pushover because of these emotions. I am simply human. It's programmed into everyone at some point in there life to be lovestruck, to help someone, and to eventually hurt someone. We can only hope that in our time of need we too will receive love and sacrifice from another human being. I was talking to my sister the other day and for some reason she thinks that people should make a life for themselves without help from anyone else. I just don't see how that would be possible. There's a lot more good in this world than what people presume. And along with that good comes help from people,whether strangers or otherwise. Any little thing people can do even something as simple as holding open a door for someone is warranted at any moment in time. People pleasantly surprise one another every minute of every day. I think the most salient factor in life is to help and give to people even when you know it won't benefit you in any way.God wants us to be human, to hurt...to cry...to aspire...to help...to care...to love. I'm just thinking where would our species be without compassion. Where would all the great nations of the world be Today...if no one ever loved and cared for someone else. Sure we hurt each other, but we heal and we love again. Hurt only makes us stronger....teaches us lessons

I think I'm rambling a lot but to exemplify my point....there was a show about secret millionaires and from the preview of the show I deduced that the millionaires would be giving large sums of money to people who were deserving of it. One of the people given this money responded...'do you know how many people I can help with this money?' it was a pivotal point in my journey to womanhood. I want to help people and I don't want anything from them. I want people to look at me and say she does all she can to uplift a dying human spirit. I want people to see me as someone who cares about everyone.

Please don't think I'm a hippie, tree hugger type of person...because I'm not. I just have undying faith in love and the human capacity to receive and give it...I believe it's limitless.

The Most Beautiful Beauty

So lately I’ve been listening to a lot of music by a Christian group called Ashmont Hill. The lyrics of their music are just so thought provoking. I love music that gets my juices flowing in my head. So tonight one of their songs got me thinking about beauty and what it is to me. Of course being me it’s not one simple thing. It is very complex even though it’s the simplest gift we are given. My answer is love. Love is the single most beautiful thing in the world because of it's uniqueness in its purest form. Jesus died on the cross because he loves us. He didn’t even know if it would be worth it, but He did it out of love. So we could live. That’s true and amazing love. People get love mixed up with sexual feelings and lustful feelings because those feelings make the body feel good, but when you truly love someone and they love you that person makes your spirit feel good. Don’t get me wrong, sexual feelings or lustful feelings toward a person doesn’t mean that you can’t love them, it simply means you have an earthly bond more so than a heavenly one. Love is complex in two ways. First that it is not hate. It is much easier in today’s world to hate someone than love them, hate has only one face, and one purpose which is to destroy. Love serves a multitude of purposes to promote joy, peace, happiness, solidarity, and harmony among human kind. Love is secondly complex in that it is freely given to us, and we rarely use it. God gives us love in return He only wants love. An equal exchange, thus it is free. Hate on the other hand isn’t free. Our spirits pay for hate that we intake. When you hate something or someone, it damages your spirit. It hurts you and affects you in way you never thought it could. Hate is devastating to ones spiritual well-being. It feeds off of your spirit and darkens it. Love to the contrary opens up your spirit to more love, to peace, and joy, and happiness and light. It is amazing to me how complex love is aesthetically and how simple it actually is. How simple to realize. How beautiful to understand that God gives a part of himself through love, and many of us want nothing to do with it. Love is the most beautiful thing yet we as a society have darkened it in the media, making it seem as though it has hurt people. Love is never blinding, love is never painful, love is always positive. Whatever you heartbroken people are feeling is not love. If you’re ever really IN love you won’t be at it’s mercy. If you are merely AROUND love, the projection of it will comfort and enthrall you. If you are OUT of love, just realize how you are never really out of love because the most beautiful aspect about love (and why I think it’s the most beautiful kind of beauty)is that GOD IS LOVE. Never ever forget that God encompasses the most beautiful gift He could ever give.
