SHORT Evolution from Embryo to Baby, Young to Old, from Stone Age to Today The meaning of life can be mostly seen in our evolution, and the quality of our lives is proportionate to the quality of our evolution.
While some may seek different sources of meaning, the concept of evolution provides a broad framework for understanding our place in reality. A journey of evolution that requires the effort of lifelong learning and growth, however, this perspective on the meaning of life may not satisfy everyone, for the unsatisfied require faith in an afterlife. Yet, I find the afterlife an excuse for not making the effort to examine life fully. Nonetheless, even without having a meaning for life, each individual lives and identifies with his community. If religious, he is given and accepts some sort of faith-based explanation for creation, powers of good and evil, along with laws or rules of conduct to live by. The individual, completely unaware, will then participate in deterministic behavior based on a belief which is derived from the social norm of the community, and period they belong to. "The morality of the individual, then, consists in his fulfilling the duties of his social position". General Introduction to the Philosophy of History , G.W.F. Hegel (N-2-1) 352
347- Socrates taught that an un-examined life is not worth living. Our reality is experienced through past moments, and each subsequent moment is the result of past causality. Our beliefs are what inform our actions and change the future. To safeguard our beliefs, we must ensure that knowledge comes from a well-aligned view of reality. Since, our existence is driven by our beliefs, which depend on the information we have, the validity of our existence hinges on the truthfulness of what we know.
Death should be a stark reminder that everything eventually returns to dust, yet, causality may be eternal, making a single life able to profoundly alter the future.
Thus our lives have eternal significance, with our actions echoing through time rather than merely turning to dust. In an infinite universe, each action serves as a fulcrum to an infinite future, making us God-like creators, and stewards of what is to come.
We have one life and one chance to live virtuously, so please lead a principled and meaningful existence.
SHORT "was is the saddest word of all" The Sound and the Fury by William Faulkner. If you step back and observe your reality, you may realize that only the next moment is truly "real." Our eyes are the most powerful tool we possess to perceive reality, but depending on the distance of our observations, our perception is always of the past. The past is accessible to us only through memories, and the future is no more than a probable prediction. As such, what we perceive as the present moment must actually be a past moment, and that is our reality, all we can know now, "was." “ he was the saddest word of all there is nothing else in the world its not despair until time its not even time until it was” (A-1-4) 334
SHORTThe Greek word "meta" signifies "after" or "beyond," which is why we refer to everything that can only be understood through faith as metaphysics. "God" is a universal concept across cultures and languages, pointing towards an inherent aspect of reality. Whether seen through religious lenses or philosophical inquiry, the existence of the divine sparks existential contemplation and gives meaning to many people's lives. As such, acknowledging this ubiquitous phenomenon doesn't require belief in any particular deity; rather, it reflects an appreciation for the unknowable depths of the cosmos. In essence, believing in God amounts to recognizing the vastness beyond our understanding while accepting a plausible account of humankind's significance within this mysterious and unknowable context. God along with any related theology is what is necessary to explain the absurdity of a reality that only has meaning or purpose when seen through faith, since we are unable to rely on personal experience or observation of the unknown. Mostly, God is our understanding, through faith, without due regard for natural systems or established theory. 343
Meaning' refers to "signification", and that relates to intention and purpose. Life : that's your existence. All life has only one intention, to evolve, and Life evolves through the process of natural selection. For you that means the love and desire for your boyfriend, or girlfriend, that special one you just can't do without. BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE! The business of natural selection is very competitive, so you will soon tire of your love, you will start looking for greener pastures, and go back to life's intention. This will make your lover hate you, and although both men, and women can hate, Earth has no fury as a woman scorned.
So please, please, please, as Kurt Vonnegut said, “—a little less love, and a little more common decency”
So is life about love or hate? Let me know in the comments !
SHORT Humanity is a differential equation motivated by social competition, and sexual selection. Individual behavior arises from the complex interaction between our biology and social environment, creating unique psychological traits like emotions, curiosity, and intelligence.As children, our traits are shaped by social interactions. As we grow into adults, our personality forms and influences how we perceive and interact with the world around us.Civilization emerges from the complexity of individuals interacting through language. The unique civilization and its language, whether ancient or modern, shape individual character, and individuals collectively define the character of society. The style of a civilization is influenced by its geographic location, historical period, and language, which together define the nature of the era. There are still undiscovered equations that could predict both individual and social behavior.
SHORT written-in-greek.mp4 RE LEGION versus Roman Legion On March 27, 47 B.C. Augustus Caesar conquers Egypt. Rome will then conquer the rest of the known world, and TAX it! That will upset a lot of Greek speaking people! Since Alexander the Great, for over 300 years, Egypt, Persia and Israel had enjoyed being Greek. In 66 C.E. the Jews led a revolt and occupied Jerusalem. In 70 C. E. the Romans reclaimed Jerusalem, kicked the Jews out, and destroyed the Second Temple. To control the New Greek Territories, Rome will establish a religion to make these new territories obey and love thy neighbor. A Roman Catholic, or Roman Universal faith will include Greek Platonism, Persian Zoroastrian, an afterlife for the Egyptians, and will be based on Jewish Scripture. The pen is truly mightier than the sword, re legion will win every time, and the truth will set you free.
SHORT unknoable-short.mp4 God created the Universe. Everything you do is made possible by the grace of God. BUT YOU DO NOT KNOW GOD. This God, whom you worship without knowing, is the one I'm telling you about. “He is the God who made the world and everything in it. Since he is Lord of heaven and earth, he doesn't live in man-made temples, and human hands can't serve his needs—for he has no needs. Acts 17 23 to 31.This was the Apostle Paul's address to the Athenian elite at the Areopagus. That GREEK God was called Agnostos, and is the Greek word for unknowable. You can not KNOW God! You are agnostic, and God is simply the cause.Be honest, you can't know if God is good or bad, maybe God is neither. "Since you can't know, don't ask God for that Mercedes, stop begging and fix this mess yourself."Stop asking God for a Mercedes Benz and focus on being a better person.
SHORT 2-11-purposeandfunction-freewill-short.mp4 FREE WILL IS AN ILLUSION.The average human body contains around 37.2 trillion cells.These cells tell you when your sick, who to love, and what to do.You have no control over your cells.Your brain makes you think you are you. But, you need a language to put stuff in that brain.and then we need experiences to think about. We don't choose either our language or the experiences that form us.What you are doing right now and where you are, was determined by your past. The two big words for this are: Causality and Determinism. If who you are totally on depends biology, and location. DO YOU REALLY THINK YOU HAVE FREE WILL?
We have one life and one chance to live virtuously, so please lead a principled and meaningful existence.
