What is the meaning of it all?
Posted by Michael (formally The Downs) 17 Jan 2002 21:13.08
I would like to begin this little message with a nice friendly hello to all you other forum posties. As the weight of bordom threatens to crush my sanity at any moment now i would like to take this opportunity to reflect on life genrally and wonder the meaning of it all. For many years i have thought life to be little more than a fluke, a freak occurance, something that should never have happened. Life seemed to me to be pointless, basicly i thought it was that you were born, you kept your head down, and then you died-if you were lucky. Those fortunate to find some sort of happiness i considered to be deciving themselves, or at best dillusional. For i thought that with all the pain, suffering, destruction and misery encountered by us, in our daily lifes or otherwise, that life must be designed to be evil. For many a year i tried to find answers to the many questions in my head, why could this have happened, why are such things allowed, why was all this here in the first place, what is the meaning of it all??? But in my prolonged state of unemployment i have come to realise a few things. Firstly that the world is but all hate, death and destruction-for on a recent cycle ride i was cut off from all of this, and surrounded by countryside and nature. Things of pure beauty, things that no human could ever make or hope to emulate, things we could not understand the nature of their existance or purpose. Despite my known reservations towards religion, a few of you know a couple of my bizarre theories, i began to wonder if there was some higher force at work, something that made all this. You see, if something created all this beauty, then something made all this destruction. I understand now that you cant have love without hate, good without evil, and an England football team (hope) without disapointment. I now am looking for spiritual fullfillment, and i beleive i am on the right path. In a drunken stupor the other weekend i asked a few of my friends for assistance in my job predicament in various ways. This seems to have worked for along came a message from another friend who is helping me get a job at this very moment-and he hadnt even known about my situation.
I just want to apologise to all i have offended on the subject of belief and hope that you can forgive me. I would also like to say thank you.
Michael.

p.s. sounds like you should stop riding your bike, mate
(the lord works in mysterious ways, apparently when one is out riding one's bicycle)
I like to ride my bycycle.

Well Downs, I don't really know what to say. I'm glad though (I think), you have come to see that there has to be something more, how could all this of happend by chance? Such a Beautiful world all from one tiny bit of grime however many millions of years ago? It seems to me a rediculous theory, there HAS to be something else at work here, Aliens? no, well you all know what I think and I won't bore you with all that...
Very nice though Downs.
Matt
