was reading seiyu's post on Truth.
found it quite.. close to heart.
i've always found the universe to work in pretty dark and ironic ways.
or like she put it,
to give you something only to take it away soon after, all in order to teach you
a lesson in treasuring and cherishing the people and possessions around you.
a lesson on transcience.
learning that the people around you will not always be there,
what you take for granted one day might not be yours the next,
and that every day you wake up to a different day, perhaps similar but never identical to the previous.
never really understood why people needed to put a definition to life,
actually come up with a structure for why life does the things it does.
whether there is a god (or gods) and whether life was created or slowly evolved to what we have today.
Why?
what difference would it make if one day, the Darwinians came up with some ultimate proof that their theory was the truth, without any debate whatsoever.
then what?
use the knowledge to pursue interests in creating super beings?
and for what purposes might that be?
and the endless paper and power chases, fortune and fame,
where would it all lead you to?
ultimately, everyone dies.
the same endpoint.
the only meaning that doesn't seem to be futile in this perspective seems ironically to be in mundane everyday life.
ensuring every day you lead made a point.
like one of my lecturers once mentioned, a famous scientist's mother used to ask her son this at the end of everyday:
"Did you ask a good question today?"
making every day worth its while some way, somehow.
be it making someone smile, or helping someone else in need or just doing something that you've not done in a long while (or even ever)
wouldn't it make a more significant difference in a pursuit of and purpose and meaning?
maybe my perspective is overly microscopic, but i really do prefer actually having an objective in my life that might actually impact other people directly. i may not be contributing to the greater good or be behind some major revelation of the century, but i certainly wouldn't mind seeing the results of my efforts in the lives of the people around me.
roarrrr.
