Life's greatest questions

[afro_frog]

If a violated any rules please forgive me. it is not my intention to question the religion of others, and i, myself is also a christian. but i can't help to question life. I’ve just wondered about this for like days now, and i would like to hear the opinions of others. I'm not expecting direct answers from you guys, just you your thought about this stuff.

have you ever thought that this monotonous daily routine of life is completely useless?

What is the point of working hard or even earning materialistic successes when in the end nothing remains?

Have you ever look at your life, and thought what was my purpose of being here?

Like what was the reason I created? And why do so many people know more about God, than I do?

How do so many people know what to do with their lives?

How do you put all your trust in God, when he hasn't reveal himself to you?

What kinds of questions do you have about life and/or God?

Do non-believers make you want to turn away from God?

How can you keep on living without really knowing who you are, why you're here, what you are supposed to do and how the world works?

How can you be a reasonable person if you don't have reason over your own life?

If you have emotional rewards in mind, love; fun; power; centering your life around these emotions implies also being a subject to their respective negative counterparts, and in a world you can't control or even understand, doesn't this mean surrendering yourself to chance ( or whatever you believe in)? Isn't it hypocrite to apply logic everyday in life but not to justify it?

How do we know that there is a god? yeah we have the bible and that kind of stuff but still what if there isn't any god and the earth was just born or it was some how made for us to live on here but saying that someone we only know because we were just told about him and believing that he made earth and he put us on here. What if there isn’t any god and people are wasting there time worshipping, making churches, praying to god just because there mama told them oh yeah there is a god that made us when we all know how actually we were born.

Couldn’t all this be a huge lie? Just made up stuff? So couldn’t have Jesus lie? I mean he was a human like us too. And anything’s possible. So how are u guys so sure that there is a god? That were either going to hell or heaven when we die? Maybe were just staying under the ground like others and after a while just be bones.


p.s.- wala ko maliso sa akong utok or whatsoever, i have a stable job and great career as a freelance graphic artist. single but contented with what life has given me now.

ikaw TS, what's your take on each question??

[bowee]

@TS..

just curious.... Are you in any chance, undergoing mid life crisis ??

[nicronomica]

FAITH

thats the word.

believing without seeing.

Faith brings order and sustainability for mankind. Without faith, there would be chaos, and when there's chaos all will be lost.

question: you're a graphic artist right? so you must know pretty well the difinition of light and darkness?

ill explain further, if you answr

ikaw TS, what's your take on each question??

appreciated! i'm glad na di ra ako ang naka agi ani.

-i don't think that getting into different activities or hobbies could change this so called "monotonous daily routine of life". I mean, mao ra man gihapon nang istoryaha dba? para nako kini tanan natong gipangbuhat di jud unta ni dapat mao ang sakto natong buhaton (don't get me wrong) na influence ta sa atong society ug sa atong goverment. nakiglumba ta sa kinabuhi. mao kaha ni atong purpose sa kinabuhhi jud? gipanganak ka, then gipa skwela, then trabaho para naay kwarta, then find a partner, pakasal after, dayun plano ug anak, matiguwang, then deado. ang anak same ra sad gihapon ang buhaton, "grow up and be what you want to be and know that you're gonna die someday" unsaon nato pagkahibaw na we have lived the life at it's fullest? hayst! sorry kaayo libug jud ang kinabuhe.

@TS..

just curious.... Are you in any chance, undergoing mid life crisis ??

yes, actually quarter life crisis pa ko, 20's pa man

i don't know jud, kung midlife crisis na ba ni. basta libug lang ko. i can't find the real question, maybe that's why there's no certain answer to my questions sad.

ahh okay, believing without seeing, mao sad na akong punto, how come people would say that they've found their true love and nganu man sad mo ingon ta na ang damgo di tinuod na pareha ra man na sila, naa sa atong huna2x diba? ka question sad ko aning love2x. when there's love is it necessary nga naa sa'y lust?

yes im a graphic artist but wa ko ni gi skwelahan, experience lang.

and no, wa ko kahibaw unsay real definition sa light and darkness, if light is it necessary bright and white or something like that? if darkness is it necessary to be black? or bad? or something that can scare you? i don't know.
okay i surrender
please explain,

I'll just answer once.... Its not about the destination bro... It's about the journey itself.. if you think that your life's boring then do something about it... you're still alive you can still discover yourself and know what makes you happy the most... You may think that your living a boring life but the truth is your not... Everybody's living different lives... We all went to different experiences... We all have different roads to travel... The lives that we're living are unique... While some may have similarities but diffidently not exactly the same.

[irishe]

brad, i have also came with those same questions as yours.. but as i matured, i came to realize that this is our life.. this is life.. and this is what life could offer.. and please remember, this is not our real life.. there's more life ahead after earth..

yes brad , i agree with you, with what's the point of working so hard and acquire those things here on earth when in the end nothing remains --->brad, we just have to go with the flow.. give out what's the best in us because we will live on earth for only once.. brad never worry with what lies ahead, The Above is in full control.. we just have to trust..

brad, you just have to enjoy your journey here on earth.. brad just trust and you'll be saved..
