Purpose of life????

bobbym · 2009-12-07 05:15:35

Yes

Tigeree · 2009-12-07 18:51:29

I totally believe. Actually I've, more or less, had experience. I have all these memories that I've never even done. I get strange senses from history, well some parts of history. Not everything. Like I'll see something history based and just feel like I was there. I was at a da Vinci exhibition and I totally knew what he was talking about. Well, mostly, not the weird religious stuff.

Curly: You know what the secret of life is?
Mitch: No, what?
Curly: This.
Mitch: Your finger?
Curly: One thing. Just one thing. You stick to that and everything else don't mean doodoo.
Mitch: That's great, but what's the one thing?
Curly: That's what you've got to figure out.

It may come from a silly movie that I only half remember, but it's a quote that I'll never forget for the length of my life. I even wrote a paper for college centered around it.

I like the idea of reincarnation, but you might have to sit out a few innings before you get back into the game.

I was at a da Vinci exhibition

Everyone who believes in reincarnation did something important in their past lives.

Tigeree · 2010-01-25 11:38:25

Recently I had a dream that I was a Russian ballerina in the late 19th century. Or maybe it was early 20th century. But then everyone in my dream turned into vampires and tried to eat me. I think John E. Franklin might have something there, that it might take a while before you get reincarnated after you die. But anyway, back to life, everyone has different views on it's purpose, but man may never truly know.

John E. Franklin · 2010-01-25 12:18:26

Yes tigeree, if you sit out for some time, this might allow it to agree with other religions too in some twist.

bobbym · 2010-01-25 14:41:37

I did not, nor is it likely I will in this life either. How do you define important?

Ricky · 2010-01-25 16:33:49

How do you define important?

Vaguely.

bobbym · 2010-01-25 16:36:17

A little vague but still a good answer. It keeps me from responding.

Tigeree · 2010-01-26 20:25:12

What if it doesn't take you a hundred years, or whatever, to come back? I don't think I did anything important last time round, either. I had something important to say and now I can't remember what it was.

The next person who veers from the topic will be zapped into the 16th dimension.

Eastern cultures are very heavy into reincarnation. They also represent the majority of the worlds population.

Tigeree · 2010-01-27 20:27:33

16th dimension? Yes please! I'm too old for this era/world. Cause I forgot what I was going to say? That's hardly veering. Not all Easterns, I know a load of people who reckon their gunna go to heaven.
If their were a 'God' we would've proved it by now. And I'm not talking proof like crazed people.

bobbym · 2010-01-27 20:40:41

Many people already have enough proof. Most people on earth do believe in some form of superior being.

Tigeree · 2010-01-27 21:03:46

I know but they can't prove that kind of belief, superior being's probably some alien.

bobbym · 2010-01-28 13:33:07

Maybe, but plenty of people have seen the devil and if he exists so does God.

Tigeree · 2010-01-28 19:40:06

Not necessarily, there may be many names for the same thing, but no one can prove that it actually exists.

bobbym · 2010-01-28 19:51:10

You don't have to prove everything beyond the shadow of doubt. This isn't math or a court of law. A feeling is enough, a preponderance of evidence.

Tigeree · 2010-01-28 20:30:56

But, it's just totally not evidence. Fine believe whatever you want, tis of no concern of mine. But believe me, Joan of Arc was just crazy.

There are zillions of possible set-ups to this amazing trip.
Just enjoy it.
And be kind to your fellow animals.

I looked her up on Wikipedia, it doesn't say anything about crazy, so there.

It is a mistake to say that, now the burden of proof is on you to prove her crazy.

Tigeree · 2010-01-29 21:51:40

Matt Groening proved she was crazy, wait, no it was my history textbook. Our government is so cheap. Not literally.

bobbym · 2010-01-30 15:27:47

Okay, who the heck is Matt Groening and why should I believe him?

Tigeree · 2010-01-31 11:56:51

Are you kidding? You live in America and you don't know? He's one of the most famous animators ever. He created the Simpsons, don't y'know? He didn't exactly prove that God doesn't exists, but more or less, that Joan of Arc was crazy. And you should believe him because he's one of the most trusted people in America, I think. Anyway, instead of reincarnation I'd like to spend eternity as a ghost, in a graveyard, I guess. Or haunting someone out of a house.

Oh, that's why I do not know him. I prefer Family Guy.
