Simplicity Itself

In a world full of wonder and beauty, so full of awesome things and glorious appeal, why does an underlying motive exist that permeates society in such a way as to remove all happiness from the joys of the earth and change it therefore into a hated thing?

Is what we think about life really what life is all about? Do we have the real life securing answers, to the many perplexing questions about life?


One thing that I hear on a regular basis is people asking 'what is the meaning to life'. Personally I find their questions to be the same, person by person, the question never changes from person to person, it is always the same.
I feel awkward in this regard as I understand the meaning of life, letting them know how I percieve the meaning of life to be, but the putting of it into practice on a daily basis eludes me.
What is the meaning to life?


The meaning to life is to get to know the all powerful creator, what he or she likes, what he or she does not like and and then do them things that which bring them pleasure and abstain from those which cause them pain.
I like to rephrase the questions and say 'why was I made and why did you choose to make me?'
Why do so many people not look for the answers to these questions? Because they percieve that there is no real answer, that they can never know or understand the answer to the question. That is one reason why so many never understand this simple and basic answer to their question.

We as human being like to complicate things. Simplicity is just too simple and so we complicate things so as to make ourselves look good in front of others. We have an ego and therefore feed our own ego, which is a vey bad thing to do, for it pushes us away from really attaining the answers to our lives.

Simplicity is always the best way to learn. As a child learns is how we should learn. Children always want to know why. Why this and why that and why the other. Children ask what they think is a simple question, yet to us adults it seems to be the most complicated answer and we think that children will not understand the answers so we shoo them away until we think that they would be intelligent enough to understand the answer. Does our thinking capabilities lack then? Should we not try to answer the childs question with as simple an answer as possible. Then we would understand the answer ourselves and true knowledge would become easier to recognise.

Such ideas would be considered to be thinking of folly. This though is not the case with those whom have found real meaning and real truth in the discoveries about life and our existence.
Personally i have adopted this mental attitude. Think like a child when learning and questioning and simplicity itself reveals the answers I seek.
