Life

In all its aspects life begins in the most singular form. It races forth from one cell, to two cells, three... a billion cells. Interconnected to form a being of intelligence. A being of living, breathing, thinking intertwined cells bound by the same fate.

Life is what we call it. By some regards a being does not need to think in order to live, but in anycase a being needs to live in order to think. The Hindus, Buddhists, and most others from South Asia believe our human beings are only a vessel for our soul, where thinking connects the soul to the body. When one dies the connection is severed. Christians and Muslims believe that the body is a vessel, but what is carried is instead a being that will one day transcend the heavenly void between Earth and the Sky, to reside there with the stars and God.

It's hard to imagine, where in all the Holy texts, in all the philosophical teachings, in all the world's minds... Life's origin's exist as some registered "fact" in one's own mind. We were never told in elementary school the origin of life. We were just told we evolved from primates, and that's an excuse as good as any. Those with a Christian background believe humans "started" with Adam and Eve. When the question is posed, doesn't that make us all brothers and sisters. The answer is that Adam and Eve are not human, in fact they are "more heavenly," my response is then that makes us all less heavenly... and to further this irrational thought the Christian Bible didn't say how many children Adam and Eve had, what if they only had one?

No, people from every spectrum of our planet don't realize just how life began. We live by standards that we don't set. We were told to learn Darwin's theory, and we were told to read our Holy texts. We were never told to think. When in school the teacher said we all evolved via primates, I had to wonder then how did primates become primates, if we all had to come from somewhere. Being in America and being inquisitive by nature I learned early on what Christians believed to be the truth, and I had to wonder what idiot penned such a verse as Adam and Eve.

I would propose that we all started from one cosmic signature. One entity, call it God if you will or call it the Big Bang. It was singular, massive, and heavenly. Like a wand touched against a flower to make it bloom instantly. A wand touched this cosmic form. From it bloomed everything we know today. The stars, the elements, the planets, the continents, the waters, the fires, gravity, ourselves. We all were born from a singularity. But why? We ask this question of ourselves on a daily basis. Why do we do what we do, to what end does it take us?

We build houses, tall concrete and steal monoliths, and roads, but to what end. Should there be one? For power, glory, respect, honor. We live our lives, but to what end. To have our foot note in history? No.

In the days of eons ago, when man roamed the Earth without a language. Man still looked for leaders. Leaders that invoked power, glory, respect, and honor. When we lived in caves, ate raw meat, and had many wives; man knew about the four ideals mentioned before. When death done man and cave dwelling apart, the next generation took kind to remember. They carried on the notion that one most become the most powerful and earn or take the most glory, respect, and honor. There were no history books to record the events of the cave dwellings. The chicken scratches on the walls depicting animals and the like could of been mere child's play, not notions of historical events, even if they were a deer doesn't lead a peoples if drawn on the inside of a cave.

If your lost in this whole quest for the meaning of life ask your self why. You can't come up with your own non-satirical educated hypothesis? Did you really need to read this far in order to come up shorthanded on an answer. We don't take it seriously. You don't take it seriously.

All atoms everywhere, of evey element were put on this planet with the notion that they would serve a purpose. The notion being that of God's. Walk outside look around do you see purpose. Do you see how the iron comes together to form a car, or how the carbon comes together to form a hose, or how the nitrogen binds itself with the atoms of the soil to bring you that nice aroma? Do you see how the clouds carry hydrogen bound to oxygen from the vast oceans hundreds of miles away. The same H20 that a mother will drink, and a fetus will cultivate in order to survive. Do you see God's notion at work?

Is your reaction oh, that's interesting? Ask your self why something so profound does not knock the wind out of you, while your boyfriend breaking up with can take the life right out of you, have you gasp for air with a shortness of breath common to runners, while tears stream from your face for hours.

Ask yourself why does God's notion not impact you like your boyfriends notion to dump you does.

Adam and Eve, are not real. The Big Bang is silly. But one thought is true. The notion that we all evolved from the same damned thing. Knowing what that thing is won't tell us where we will go. We don't evolve only to evolve back into the same thing. We know for a fact that at every interval time a certain part of us changes for the better. This is evolution, this is life.

Today we know more then our forefathers, and our children will know more then us. At some point the next generation, whether it be the fifth or twentieth order from us, will not be the same as us. They will have evolved, from the same point as us, but to a different end - a different destiny.

To fulfill our own destiny, is our only mission - our only truth. To become an assembly of atoms ordering one's self to fulfill a pre-described notion, this is our future.

Wake up in the morning and think about your place in the Universe, look up at the sky if you have too and think not about goals, money, a job, but how you can fulfill a notion. A notion that has evolved over eons. A notion that every atom of your body serves a purpose, and as a whole you serve a purpose. Find your purpose and don't define yourself by what you know, define yourself by what you think - truly think. Give life a chance, a new meaning.
