Sometimes I wonder why we exist, why the world exist. Moreover I wonder who created these things. If the world would not exist where we would be. When we die where we go. There are so many unanswered questions. According to me life is a mystery. What is your opinion on life?

Ya you are right. Even scientist have not yet got any answer to these mysteries. Their life will end by looking for the answers. Thanks for replying.

For me. just expect the unexpected. That's life. Who knows that one day, everything will be answered. Then life will be no longer a mystery. Its boring if we keeps knowing. So we may feel that life is useless. Its my guess only. what do you think?

Yes life is a mystery and I doubt we will ever be able to solve it.Finding the true use of our life is a very difficult and I think religion helps to answer that question. But if we look at it scientifically,then the purpose of any living species is to reproduce and hence give rise to more of its own kind.But again,it's kind of useless too,since all an organism does is eat(get energy) and then use that energy uselessly to just reproduce! In my opinion though,life really has got no purpose.But we should just enjoy each and every moment of it because it's the most precious thing that we have!

I believe that we have someone must have created. All that is certainly something to create. Of course, who created everything including us is something that is Most Great. Now we turn to find out exactly why we exist and there is all this? To get the answers we need to know about religion.

i been wanting to know that answer since the day i learned how to talk but no has never really explained to me why we do exist i mostly hear we exist because of god and our parents without them we wont be here. and when we die we go to heaven if your good or hell if your bad its kinda hard to explain where do really come and where do we go if we never existed i for one just want life to be simply....maybe one day that question will finally be answered and hopefully i we will get a better understanding of who we really are ^-^

Whenever I ask about life, I always think that I will do better in my next life. When I ask about my life, I always think of the failures and regrets, so with this, I just hope that in my next life, I hope there is next, I will remember those actions I did and will not do them again.

I am a Catholic christian and I am lucky not to have doubts as to the reason why we exist at all and what is our purpose for existing. I don't think we are just like a flash in the pan that after we die,that's the end of it. I don't believe that we were created just to exist without any deeper purpose and i don't believe that our existence is just an accident that happened. Look around you and you can't help but wonder how everything seems to be perfectly synchronized. Why don't the planets collide with one another/ What makes them stay in their own orbits and not crash against other heavenly objects. What power has made it possible for the human body to be perfect the way it is with its own digestive, respiratory, and other systems. What makes the sun rise at dawn and set in the evening for the moon to rise and cast its cool light upon the world? And so forth.There must be one great power who was able to create all of these including humans. And if one so believes, is it so hard to believe that indeed we were created for one purpose only which is to worship and glorify God through our existence by living our lives in accordance with His teachings? i know I am not saying it well but what I want to say is that our existence is not meaningless or aimless. there is a purpose for our existence and it remains with us to find what that purpose is and to fulfill it. I pray you will find yours and fully achieve the purpose of your existence. God Bless You.

Now,this type of ideas crop up when we really are in trouble,because we cannot solve them and trying any amount will be useless, hence we get frustrated and come to a conclusion of your discussion. By some technique of the CREATOR we are here - why he has created we do not know - and after creating if any wrong is done even then he does not punish this is the wonder of life. Any how because are living here in this beautiful world,many have used their life's for either their developments or for others developments. Let us take in a positive way and try to do what ever G O O D is possible from us.
