Well, I haven't posted in a while, what with Homework, and homework and girls such as Becca. >.> Anyway. I was reading my fellow Squire's blog, Nerdtastic, and I was thinking about his post "Stuck." He talked about the meaning of life, and teenagers, and money and girls and technology and stuff like that. As anyone who reads my blog knows, I like delving into things.
It's interesting how when some people ask "what is the meaning of life," Others respond, "Well, to live life to your fullest." It's also interesting that when someones asks "How are you doing," chances are, the other person will almost immediately say "Good." It's that predictable-ness that I think speeds life up a lot. You predict something will happen, and that small moment is much faster because you don't hear what another is saying because you know already what they're going to say. Is it that that people are stuck over?
Another thing: Why must life have a meaning? Is there really a meaning to life? Philosophers ponder over this all of their life: Well would that be the meaning of their life then, to figure out the meaning of life? Lives can be wasted over the question, true. But it's an interesting question that humans have evolved so much that not only can they be the most extremely self-aware creatures within galaxies of anything, but they can also question life itself, which most likely won't be recorded in history again on the earth. I don't know if my blog-readers know this, but I'm an Atheist. An Atheist is one who doesn't have a religion, and usually the reason for that is because they don't believe in a God. I'm kind of extreme: There isn't anything supernatural on this planet, or anywhere else.
Well, here's my reasoning: For someone to be able to not hang on to made up evidence, not hang on to a familes beliefs, or a communities beliefs, or even a country's beliefs takes can be extremely difficult. So I guess I can say that I find that there really isn't any meaning of life. Earth made a mistake when we evolved into a creature that doesn't rely on it's body's features, but a creature relying on the features in our minds; thinking capacity evolves much much much MUCH faster than any mutations/body parts to any animal. Cheetahs can run as fast as a car, fight off almost any animal, they have razor sharp claws, and they hunt independently, but with one motion of one finger on a humans body can a Cheetah be struck down fatally. It's the brain that we have, not the features on our body.
And that brain has lead to self-awareness, questioning of life, and making ourselves firmly believe in things that are scientifically proven impossible to be slightly real. People question the Big Bang, but scientists can prove that to fill the space of nothing, something can be created from nothing, or some crap like that. We've evolved into creatures that can multiply astronomically and exponentially in just a few centuries, can look back those few centuries and call ourselves dumb and stupid and we can see the mistakes that we've made. But a Cheetah hunts no differently than it did 10s of centuries ago. It's the brain, not the features.
So if that's so, how can there really BE a meaning to life? Would the meaning of life simply be to fill the space of nothingness? Because that really is the only rational meaning to life. It's not to make others happy, it's not to make money, become wealthy, make friends, become a successful engineer, follow in God's path, follow your family's traditions, it's not that. It is simply nothing. Life has as much meaning to it than the amount of meaning nothingness had, before the planets and the stars. Humans have a hard time understanding that, because we've become so advanced, we think that it has to mean something. It really means that nature made a simple mistake. And history is really, not doomed to repeat itself.
That's really all I have for tonight, and I hope people can ponder over it more than usual. So I bid you a simple:
Yours Forever,
-Alex
