How is it living in this world full of questions and uncertainty?

Some people fight over beliefs and religion and that many would argue which is the best religion in the world. People of the same races fighting with each other because of clashing ideals. We do believe there is a God although we might ask ourselves if there really is a God. We would asked ourselves and others if there is heaven or hell or purgatory and whether there is life after death or not. All these questions will be endless. For me, for whatever purpose these things be real or not, our main purpose to be here on earth is to be good, live well and be good to others, to be good whatever life there is on earth and that whether there is a God or not and that no matter what religion we might have, the purpose of all that is for mankind to live as mankind loving and caring for each other so that we may all live in harmony and be at peace on earth. That whether these things are true or not all of us will be benefiting from the belief that this earth is given to all of us to respect each other and everything in it. This world gives us a lot of questions and it is as natural as we are. And whatever the answers to these questions be, we must always remember that we are all brothers and sisters. And this world is for all of us and that everything is should be fair.

Yes, true hanjianbo615. Thank you so much for that. Perhaps the perfect world is in God's world where He promised to meet us all whoever who deserves to live with Him. And that these are just trials or tests that we have to go through to prove our worth as His children. God bless us all my friend. Take care.

I think that it's these questions in life that make us strong and weak at the same time. Strong, in the sense that our struggle to find answers make us better persons to face the next level of challenges of life; and weak, that makes us realize that we're still too small to be full of ourselves, and thus we will always need one another to survive. Moreover, these questions also make us realize that we need God in our lives to gather enough strength in times of trouble and doubt.

Yes, precisely. Those are some really very good points. And maybe these uncertainties itself also helps us to become better persons to be able to depend on thinking that God is testing us despite all these mysteries to make us worthy to meet him.

I do agree with you thetis! Life itself is so mysterious. We don't know who's fighting who? Who and what are they fighting for? What are we here on earth for if we are only given trials and problems in life. There are so many questions unanswered. But even so, I am still thankful to God for giving me the chance to experience all these. It makes me real human. I believe in God so much. I believe in heaven and hell. Though I don't know if it's true. What's important is to live in accordance to God's commandment. To live in peace, harmony and unity with other people no matter what religion they may have. After all, we are all made by one God. Therefore we are equal to God's eye. We should respect and treat each other fair enough. Thanks!

I really do think that is going to be life in general at any point. It just seems that in this day and age, with the amount of questions that are going to be out there, there is going to be far more uncertainty to be had to say the very least. A lot of questions that we wish to really be answered. However the funny thing that the answers to those questions more often than not will lead to even more questions. It is a never ending cycle of confusion that we never really know where it might end, as we keep going around and around. In the end, the nature of life mandates any number of questions at any single time in life. We may never really answer any of them. We might come close to grabbing the truth at any given time. However there are so many times where the only thing for certain is really nothing is for certain. There are going to be a lot of times where the mysteries of life are going to overwhelm us. Sometimes we just got to sit back and just take things for what they our. Respect everyone and try and know that everyone is likely as confused about the truth as we are.

That's absolutely right megamatt. It is so nice of you to say that. We definitely just take things as they are. And that if the world is ever going to end, then so be it. We can't do anything about. The best thing not to be confused is to just accept things the way they are.

I agree with you. Life is full of uncertainty and there are many beliefs and religion that exist. I have deep respect with other beliefs. I think mankind will be able to live harmoniously if we respect each other and to do good. Whatever religion or belief you have, I think we are all taught one same thing, that is to love God above all and to love each other. If people will learn to accept each other's opinion, belief and principles in life, this world will be the best place to live in. If we learn to embrace and celebrate each other's differences, then, this life that we have will be the happiest and interesting life.

That is so right and how glad I am to hear that. I do believe we all have one God and that the difference is we are just taught differently and that the purpose for everything is to do good in everything.

The true and best religion to join with is written on 2 corinthians 1:1 any other religion was not written on the bible are false religions. There's no such thing as purgatory in the bible, only catholic church introduce such things like limbo besides Jesus Christ and Moses never mentioned about purgatory and limbo. I agree with you that we should be good and love others because that's the whole duty of men.

I agree on your point.The main thing is the realization among us.When will it come? We are advancing day by day in every sphere of life.But all human beings are same irrespective of cast and creed.Many less educated people realize this and often many educated people don't try to accept this fact.
