We all have a purpose in life.
For some, it is merely to serve as an example and warning to others.

3. Funny AND true!
Had a long chat with daughter yesterday, and this is what I see as MY purpose, helping my contributions to the world to find THEIR RIGHT WAYs.

4. I was thinking you were wrong that we all have a purpose in life.
Apparently I was right... and in so doing I proved myself wrong, and you right.

That sign is like a metaphysical Escher moment... I think my mind is bending... :tinfoilhat:

5. I get that concept, and why some think that way.
Edited on Sun Apr-04-10 09:45 PM by RandomThoughts
And it actually fits my last post, where some think that where a person is at in life determines if they are a good person or not.

The comment seems to be that some people are made examples of to warn others.


By that logic, the only thing that matters is the place someone is in in the world. Versus those that think there are more important things then just what you have, or some status.


Here is the thing, to make the statement that some peoples lives are to give warning of what not to do, is to say that people that are in a good place are to give an example of what a person should do.


So by that logic, take what ever you can get away with taking, then say it proves you must be right. It is law of survival by any means, it is pure anarchy. By that logic, if I shut off the heat or air condition of people by a brown out, and made money off it, then when someone sees an old granny without power her life is suppose to say people should not be like her, and if you are an Enrond trader that made money of the created power scarcity, then that says that is how a person should be. Do people agree with that.

Should we do what ever we can to get whatever people think says a person must be on the right path. If those are the rules, I got some pay back to dish out of epic proportion. But I don't think that is right, because it requires a complete lack of conscious. And that is why the dark side speaks of the power of the dark side, because when you go no conscious, you can obtain things in the world pretty easily. But is that really all it is about?


That is the philosophy of the person without conscious. There has to be thought about weather it is right or wrong, attached to how someone achieves something, or to some hardship a person has.

I try to stick with 'show and tell' rules usually, and bring a music clip or movie picture, but just posted text on this one.
