Hi back at ya, Misssy! I hear you about perspective and beliefs changing as you get older and start to wonder about this world. Thanks for sharing what you believe.Hiya Chanti, Well, honestly I haven't given it much thought recently in the past few years. When I was in my 20's I was very interested in this kind of thing, cosmos and spirituality and even some religion, though the older I get the farther away from it I am, maybe it is the grittiness of life or how I can see how life kind of falls apart for people. Not sure what it is exactly, just that losing the hopefulness and idealism of youth I guess...in a personal way of just how life turns out. I keep talking about becoming older on here, I guess because I am appalled that I have had this problem "Anxiety" for so long, and I used to hope that I would overcome it or grow out of it....and life perspective does seem to change. To get back to the answer, my perspective is that we are just another generation of humans, that have come and gone for a very long time, think of the Egyptians, or tribal peoples, cave peoples. From the way I See the world, I am not so significant that there would be any "meaning" to my life. I think my life is meaningless. I did some genealogy and there were generations before me that I barely knew personally as people. Grandparents who I never had a close relationship to etc..... so not even in a spiritual sense of meaning but also in a very tangible sense. These people don't know me and I don't know them, and I sometimes wonder more about the world and people around me and if there is any meaning in that. There seems to be very little. As far as god goes, it just doesn't make sense to me. The discussions of ancient people who are no longer alive and worshiping them. Even those who are worshipping the Dali Lama, a "living god" of sorts.....well what difference does any of it make. I have no answers really. And I figure people can believe whatever they want..but for me it doesn't make a lot of sense. Though oddly enough I still need a sense of wonder and possibility in life. Hardcore....non-believers in the magical..kind of bore me. For as much as I don't consider myself a believer...I feel like I need a sense of magic and wonder in life. Shrug. God clearly isn't here to protect us because look at all the horrible things that happen to people in this world............................I mean after praying and praying and praying...and here we are, god hasn't really answered my prayers.
