WHY AM I HERE? I WONDER IF I’M SUPPOSED TO BE DOING SOMETHING THAT I’M NOT! HOW DO BUTTERFLIES LOOK SO BEAUTIFUL HAVING COME FROM SOMETHING SO UGLY? IS THERE A MEANING IN THAT? I JUST REALIZED THAT EVERYTHING THAT IS COMES FROM THE EARTH OR SEA! I DON’T UNDERSTAND WHY MAN CAN’T MAKE A BEAUTIFUL FLOWER. HOW DOES ALL THIS WORK?
HOW DOES THE WONDERFUL SCENT OF A BLOSSOM GET ITS SCENT? IT GROWS IN DIRT! IS AN AUTOMOBILE ACTUALLY MADE FROM WHAT’S FOUND IN THE EARTH? WHY CAN’T MAN MAKE DIRT? WHAT IS MAN HERE FOR? ARE WE REALLY NEEDED? AND IF SO, FOR WHAT? I HAVE WONDERED – BEING THAT THE CREATOR OF EVERYTHING IS SO POWERFUL, WHY DOES THAT CREATOR NEED ME? OR IN FACT DOES HE ? IS THERE A CREATOR OR DID EVERYTHING AND EVERYBODY JUST APPEAR FROM NOTHINGNESS? IF I BELIEVE THAT THERE IS A CREATOR, COULD HE NOT ACCOMPLISH MORE IN AN INSTANT THAN I WILL BE ABLE TO CREATE IN A LIFETIME? AM I TO DO SOMETHING THAT INVOLVES SOLIDS, LIQUIDS OR GASES OR IS IT SOMETHING ELSE?

I HAVE CONSIDERED THAT MAYBE IT IS SOMETHING SPIRITUAL! I HAVE THOUGHT LONG HOURS ABOUT THE CONCEPT OF WHY NESS! IS THERE ANY ADVANTAGE OF THINKING ABOUT WHY NESS? I DON’T KNOW BUT I DO KNOW THAT WITHOUT THOUGHT THERE CAN BE NO ACTION, REACTION OR INTERACTION BETWEEN OR AMONGST HUMAN KIND. IS THIS INVOLVED IN THE CONCEPT OF WHY WE ARE? WE KNOW WE CAN’T COMPETE WITH THE GLORY AND SPLENDOR OF OUR CREATOR AS DEALS WITH OUR ABILITIES TO MAKE ANYTHING. WE CAN’T MAKE SOMETHING FROM NOTHING LIKE THE CREATOR CAN, SO THEREFORE WE MUST ADMIT OUR ABILITIES ARE WITHIN THE REALM OF NOTHINGNESS COMPARATIVELY SPEAKING.

SOME FEEL THERE IS NOTHINGNESS EVERYWHERE AND THAT WE JUST ONE DAY APPEARED FROM NOTHINGNESS? AND I BELIEVE THAT WE ALL HAVE THAT RIGHT TO BELIEVE WHAT WE WILL ABOUT EVERYTHING, INCLUDING OUR ORIGIN AND DESTINY. ARE THERE DISADVANTAGES OF BELIEVING IN SOMETHING THAT CANNOT BE PROVEN? IS THERE AN ADVANTAGE IN BELIEVING IN NOTHINGNESS? I FEEL UNQUALIFIED TO MAKE SUCH JUDGMENTS. POSITIVE REINFORCEMENT IS NORMALLY CHOSEN OVER NOTHINGNESS OR NEGATIVITY. HOWEVER, THAT WITHIN ITSELF IS NOT REQUIRED FOR ALL PEOPLES TO ENJOY THEIR EXISTENCE UPON EARTH FOR THEIR PERIOD OF TIME.

CAN THERE BE CONTENTMENT WITHIN HUMAN BEINGS WITHOUT THE THOUGHT OF SOMETHING MORE THAN OURSELVES? IF WE BELIEVE OURSELVES TO BE THE ULTIMATE OF SOMETHING – WHAT IS THAT SOMETHING? IS THERE A RIGHT AND A WRONG? WHO MAKES THE JUDGMENT OF GOOD AND BAD? IS THAT THE JOB OF WE HUMANS WHO ARE HERE FOR A LITTLE WHILE TO DO SOMETHING THAT WE CAN’T IDENTIFY OR SHOULD THAT BE LEFT TO A HIGHER POWER THAN OURSELVES? IS INNER PEACE OBTAINABLE? IS IT A WORTHWHILE GOAL? WHY? WHY NOT? I’V E ATTAINED IT AND I KNOW YOU CAN BECAUSE I’M NOT A SPECIAL PERSON TO GOD, JUST ONE OF HIS BILLIONS OF CREATIONS. WOW. DOESN’T THAT MAKE YOU FEEL GOOD? I HOPE IT DOES BECAUSE IT DOES ME!

Why am i here? I wonder if i’m supposed to be doing something that i’m not! How do butterflies look so beautiful having come from something so ugly? Is there a meaning in that? I just realized that everything that is comes from the earth or sea! I don’t understand why man can’t make a beautiful flower. How does all this work? How does the wonderful scent of a blossom get its scent? It grows in dirt! Is an automobile actually made from what’s found in the earth? Why can’t man make dirt? What is man here for? Are we really needed? And if so, for what? I have wondered – being that the creator of everything is so powerful, why does that creator need me? Or in fact does he ? Is there a creator or did everything and everybody just appear from nothingness? If i believe that there is a creator, could he not accomplish more in an instant than i will be able to create in a lifetime? Am i to do something that involves solids, liquids or gases or is it something else?

I have considered that maybe it is something spiritual! I have thought long hours about the concept of why ness! Is there any advantage of thinking about why ness? I don’t know but i do know that without thought there can be no action, reaction or interaction between or amongst human kind. Is this involved in the concept of why we are? We know we can’t compete with the glory and splendor of our creator as deals with our abilities to make anything. We can’t make something from nothing like the creator can, so therefore we must admit our abilities are within the realm of nothingness comparatively speaking.

Some feel there is nothingness everywhere and that we just one day appeared from nothingness? And i believe that we all have that right to believe what we will about everything, including our origin and destiny. Are there disadvantages of believing in something that cannot be proven? Is there an advantage in believing in nothingness? I feel unqualified to make such judgments. Positive reinforcement is normally chosen over nothingness or negativity. However, that within itself is not required for all peoples to enjoy their existence upon earth for their period of time.

Can there be contentment within human beings without the thought of something more than ourselves? If we believe ourselves to be the ultimate of something – what is that something? Is there a right and a wrong? Who makes the judgment of good and bad? Is that the job of we humans who are here for a little while to do something that we can’t identify or should that be left to a higher power than ourselves? Is inner peace obtainable? Is it a worthwhile goal? Why? Why not? I’v e attained it and i know you can because i’m not a special person to god, just one of his billions of creations. Wow. Doesn’t that make you feel good? I hope it does because it does me!


Hi Bumblebee,

I converted your post to sentence case when I quoted it for the sake of the eyes of other readers. bigsmile

You ask:

Can there be contentment within human beings without the thought of something more than ourselves?


Do we really need a God concept to know that there is something more than ourselves?

Can we not see that we are part of soemthing much larger?

And what about each other? Even if we consider ourselves to be seperate, then we are all in this together. So in that sense even a seperatist view can give us a sense of wholeness. :wink:

No the creator could not. Not even close.

A creator could not accomplish what you accomplish, because of the simple fact that what you accomplish is being you.

In order for a creator to accomplish that the creator would need to become you. For there is no other way to be you.

So the very uniqueness in everything that you do and experience is constantly an accomplishment that no one else can possibly create but you. Not even a creator, unless that creator were to actually become you and live out all your experiences.

So perhaps that's the reason? And the truth of your existence?

You are the creator being you. bigsmile

Psalms 82:6
I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.

We are all children of our father who is in heaven. That is what life is for. Life is a growing experience. Psychologically and spiritually. Through the tribulations and troubles through life we grow and get stronger, because one learns from the experience. Do not personally know exactly what our father has in store for us after judgement. Won't know that till it happens. But back on topic, that is what life is for. That's why you're here. You're here to grow as strong as you can as to make our father proud of you, just as on earth the child usually does things to impress his/her parents.

WHY AM I HERE? I WONDER IF I’M SUPPOSED TO BE DOING SOMETHING THAT I’M NOT!



If you know the answer then you'll became God !
Unknown are God's intentions




HOW DO BUTTERFLIES LOOK SO BEAUTIFUL HAVING COME FROM SOMETHING SO UGLY? IS THERE A MEANING IN THAT?
HOW DOES THE WONDERFUL SCENT OF A BLOSSOM GET ITS SCENT? IT GROWS IN DIRT!



The only constant and incontrovertible,incontestable fact in all universe is the unity of duality of it: matter- anti-matter , death-life;creation-the ravages of time; plus - minus; etc..






I DON’T UNDERSTAND WHY MAN CAN’T MAKE A BEAUTIFUL FLOWER. HOW DOES ALL THIS WORK?
IS AN AUTOMOBILE ACTUALLY MADE FROM WHAT’S FOUND IN THE EARTH? WHY CAN’T MAN MAKE DIRT? WHAT IS MAN HERE FOR?

ARE WE REALLY NEEDED?
AND IF SO, FOR WHAT? I HAVE WONDERED – BEING THAT THE CREATOR OF EVERYTHING IS SO POWERFUL, WHY DOES THAT CREATOR NEED ME?
OR IN FACT DOES HE ? IS THERE A CREATOR OR DID EVERYTHING AND EVERYBODY JUST APPEAR FROM NOTHINGNESS? IF I BELIEVE THAT THERE IS A CREATOR, COULD HE NOT ACCOMPLISH MORE IN AN INSTANT THAN I WILL BE ABLE TO CREATE IN A LIFETIME? AM I TO DO SOMETHING THAT INVOLVES SOLIDS, LIQUIDS OR GASES OR IS IT SOMETHING ELSE?



The practice and history shows that we are not able to
be charged with such important abilities because till now
we mainly destroy what God crated



I’M NOT A SPECIAL PERSON TO GOD, JUST ONE OF HIS BILLIONS OF CREATIONS.



Nah , you are special and precious to Him because you are
part of his divine plan or otherwise He wouldn't create us
