Meaning of Life

Why we exist

There are many theories about the creation. People have their own ideas about our existence, the creation, or even evolution.
I could ramble on about what I believe and how our civilazation came to be, but the truth is it's all debatable in certain company.
I sometimes think we exist merely for someone else's amusement. I beleive Shapespere was onto something when he said the worlds a stage and we are actors...
We are here because we allow ourseleves to be. Our will alone mainatins our mood. We do what we have to so that we can do what we want to. We push ourselves on because we want to work. We want to live. We want to seek out the things we always dreamed of.
So what's the big picture? Why are we here? What happens when we are not here? I find that it is best not to spend our lives wondering. Just live. be glad that we are here, no matter what the reason, and be glad for the time that we do have.
