Meaning of Life |
Recently, someone asked, "Why does life have to have a purpose?"
Because the authorities (The teachers, philosophers, preachers, etc.)
Say that it does!!!
I was once taught, "If you are searching for meaning in your life,
NEVER attempt to find it for yourself. Let the authorities decide it
for you. They have been around a lot longer than you all have.

They do?

It must have been a priest who taught you that.
Anybody who accepts that closes his mind tight shut.

The obvious question is, "What qualifies one to be an authority on the
meaning of life?"

Hi,
I don't think there is any meaning in life outside of the meaning
one finds for oneself.

That's only because they told you to think that way. The
"authorities" can be wrong. You can be the worlds expert on
astrology yet not know the one important fact about astrology; it
ain't real. Like we said back in the 1960's; question authority!

They probably told him that the earth was flat, that the Sun and
the Universe revolved round him, that rainbows were a sign from
'god' and Amuricuns sprung out of an empty box after
being 'intelligently' designed.
