Ever wondered why we are here? I know that this is probably the most silly question of all... but come to think of it, it probably is the most important one. The basic idea is: we get born, we grow up while our parents try to give us a good education. They make sure that you become a credibly, composed person capable to stand up to the world. Then why do we often find than alot of people aren't capable anymore of doing so? of facing the world and fighting it when it gets tough on you? could it be the lifestandard these days in most western coutries? the fact that nothing is difficult anymore and everything can be bought (even illegal stuff). Nowadays i start to wonder when people fought problems instead of giving into them. or when people did things for other people without any mentioning of money or payment? The thing i'm worrying these days is that people will stop asking help, will stop doing this without compensation, will not ask and give any trust... will stay alone all of their lifes because marriage or relationships slow them down and bring to much responsability. Even now, during this discution alot of people will probably have stopeed reading this thread becvause they only post and answer easy discutions that don't require their attention to much... why have me come to this?

Hello there. It's indeed true we are living in a materialistic and mercenary world now. Everything revolves around money. Without money, nothing can be done. Having said all these, I am not implying money is the most important thing in this world. Money is indeed very important but there are other things more important in this world (ie. family, good health and love) I think there's still hope in this world. You still see many kind hearted and compassionate people around. Personally, I feel that I am here in this world to Live, Love, Learn and to Live a Legacy. This is my motto in life. This is what I strive to be.

Yeah, I'm feelin' ya. and i also think that a good and solid legacy is to be given to our children. learning them how to be respectfull in any way often makes sure they get to be solid people. people you can count on.

I think you have made a great point. Growing up I used to ask myself a question which noone has been able to answer yet. If the world and all the plannets didn't exsist there'd be the universe left but if that also disappeared what would be left?
