HI EVERYBODY!! Imagine that you are a fully functioning human adult... and... you have just been dropped on Earth. NO language, NO understanding, NO connections, NO family/friends, NOTHING.... How do you live?? My question: WHAT IS LIFE?? How do you determine enjoyment, purpose, growth, etc??? HOW WOULD YOU CREATE... CREATE... CREATE... CREATE... A LIFE FOR YOURSELF?? What does it mean to have a life? Please share... (Someone's better life may depend on it) - wink. Thanks for sharing.

Someone' life may depend on it? LOL...yours? This is not realistic to say the least. You have no language, no understanding, no connection, no nothing...you really become a vegetable and depend on everyone else's pity and charity. Sorry to say that. You cannot create a life without anything...will you have consciousness?

yes... me!! Thanks for making fun of. Hahaha The point is to stretch one's imagination. I'm curious to know what people consider as life... and what details would they give to that idea or line of thought. Your life would consist of what?? With everything we have in life, cars, tv, etc - everything... what if you were dropped on the planet completely devoid of understanding for where you are - how would you cope?? Make fun of everyone?? (secret jab) I believe we are here to participate in making life better... and each others life better. I don't think I'm the only person who feels this way - but, sometimes it does seem as if we are not thinking very well. So, again.... what would be your course of action in create a life out of this situation; imagined... not real. (Maybe you'll inspire someone... yes... me!!) Thanks for the reply

I guess it would be just like an animal that does whatever it needs to in order to survive. Once basic needs (food, shelter) are taken care of, you could start trying to do other things. Things would be a lot simpler since you wouldn't have cars or things, but you also wouldn't have heating or light so in that respect it might be more difficult.

I can only come up with the fact that it would be a very quiet and peaceful life. But I suppose like way back in the earlier days we would all learn to adapt and maybe just communicate with gestures. I really can't imagine myself without the wonderful things in life I do have now. But again I believe that if we never had something we would not miss it. If we do loose them then we somehow learn to adapt.
