It is a thought that can come in the minds of a very sane and mature person whose EQ (Emotional Quotient) is very high. Have you ever questioned about the existence of yourself, why only you, why it is happening to you, why us? Why are there certain people or situations you go through? Have questioned the entire existence of mankind ? Have you got any answers ....spiritually?

There are no simple, straight forward answers that I can give you. However, as a fellow explorer on the spiritual path, I found the books - " The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda : Volumes 1-8" greatly helpful in answering these questions and more. I started with Volume 2 and I am completely blown away by his lectures. These books would be a great starting point on the road to spirituality.

When I was kid, I thought that I was the only one with conscience and that I was destined to do something great for what I thought before are pre-programmed people. Ha ha. Anyway, that was the time I took great interest in the existence of a human being. I questioned my existence before, and thought about what purpose do we serve as human beings in this world. Many people have different views, some think they need to earn riches and enjoy life, some believe on deities and gods that needs to be worshiped while they are still alive. And it struck me one day, human being's existence is not a coincidence. I believe that each and everyone of us are made for something, we just have to find it. Living is a choice, and doing something worthwhile takes discipline and a great sense of self and purpose. So basically, mankind's existence is dependent of their own thought. Every consequence we suffer stems from our decisions and previous interactions. It's the law of the world, what goes around, comes around. Kudos~

Absolutely agree with u. same experience during my childhood too, has only grown with some answers but more questions about entire humankind. Is this the real world or just a mirage of some kind, are really in the conscious world? Well there are numerous such questions. Anyway thanks for ur reply.
