Simple way for explaining the meaning of life
January 13th 2009 12:49
a nice way to simplify the explanation of the humans goal on earth.
"Take 3 things out of your pocket and i'll explain your objectives in life:
- credit card or similar
- keys of your car
- cellphone
and when i see this, i see what humans are doing on earth: they are trying to be god. What you just showed me is your best try in terms of omnipotence, omnipresence and omniscience, which are the 3 characteristics of God (at least the catholics one)."
Please notice that i do not have a contradicting position with the existentialist (actually the Kierkegard's) thinking in terms of the absurdity of our existence, but still, we all have a defined goal in our lifes, even if we think we don't have.
I'm not saying either that we can't change this goal, like when you have children or any kind of idol you would die for (nation, religion, etc). But the standard operating procedure for men is to try to be as powerfull as god. I would say that children is some kind of essay for imortality in most cases, which falls as omniprecense. Idols were all broken down by Nietzsche's hammer, even if we still live following them in every place exept from Europe. (people should read Nietzsche in universitites in US and arabic countries, so that we stop killing ourselves)
take care, dont drive too fast, youre still human.
cheers.
