WHY ARE WE HERE?

[idolhunter]

Now this is a very BIG question for me...
even at my age...after half a century of living ;D
UNTIL THIS VERY DAY.... ;D
I am still scratching my head... why are we here in this world??

I have ask myself this question since I was 5 yrs old.
What is our purpose?
Where are we going?
Am I suppose to do anything before I leave this world?

I know this is a very difficult question...and I know
we will have all kinds of answers....
but it doesn't matter...we just want to know...what u
think....that is the important point that we want here. ;D

*please don't write a book here... ;D
but u can tell us what books we can read to find yr answer...
*I know it will touch on some religion...pls keep it brief and general...

So let's start... ;D

hu..hu.. hu..
i am at home, because my family needed me to reproduce the next generations...

i am here at this forum because of daniel lee, the malaysian idol 2....

i am in this world because i am needed to be part of the statistic of the world population...

hahaha...

no lah... i do think i am special... because nobody reads my mind and i am different from everyone else....

We are here coz its a gift from GOD .

and we are born in a perfect way also a gift from GOD .

;D take a look at rumah saleha....the hiv kids..
why are they born to suffer "perfectly" here...and it's
not even their fault? meaning to say GOD's gifts are
also unfair? or is there such a thing as "fair"?

When I read the title: WHY ARE WE HERE?
The first answered crossed my mind was : DANIEL!!!! ;D ;D ;D

ohhh...I see ....I am here because my parents wanted me to be here lar.... ;D ;D ;D

Ok...serious... I believe in "LOVE" & "DESTINY". We are created in the image of God.
For example...I believe that there is something special to bring us together in this forum...We are here sitting together & chit chat , this is call "Yuen Feng". So, "A special kind of something" OOPS!!! Daniel's song ;D. I would called that "strength" from the God to bring us together, so we have to cherish what we have now...THE DFC's friendship.

Am I OT?

Why are we here?

Good question

But I dare to say, it is all because God created the world, God created us..... it's all found in the book of Genesis..ok.. keep it brief...

And at least we are special and unique from one another... and that, we have to cherish our lives for it is only once in a lifetime to embrace.... enjoy your friendship with your best buddies, appreciate and treasure your family members.... makan sepuas puasnya.... hehehe ;D

For now, we are here in this forum ...for DANIEL, rite??

hmm..depends on what you mean by fair..
i think fairness is a perception of the mind... one person might think something is fair..but the other might think the same thing is not fair..
Maybe in our eye's a certain something is unfair..but God views it as something else?

Anyway..i think we're here..to just live life!!
To try new things..to give..
To touch lives..to leave smiles wherever we go...

btw..lilywhite...the first thing i tot of when i saw this thread was also Daniel.. ;D

[evonc]

Im in this world to make lots of un-needed noise..hehe..making my parents life miserable ;D,share the tears and joy with others, and to join the others in improving the new society! (last time ppl use "bird" to send letter.. now we use 3G!) hehe.

God is not unfair i think it's God's way to even up the population in the world.

PS: Idolhunter, it's Rumah Soleha(h)(not sure if got the H behind). Eventhough sum of them r hiv positive but they r juz as funny as the other kids! haha!

[idolhunter]

Read the histroy books,books on buddhism,bible,
,a glance thru english version of the Q'uran,occult books on living, books on life after death, a book called conversation with god vol.1,2 n 3..
I came to partially conclude "my personal thinking"

Positive thinkers version...
We are the fillers of GOD
Negative thinkers version
We are the guiney pigs of GOD

We are here for a purpose, to be tested to our limits...
open new grounds, new thinking...
Look at everything that is around you...
It is always changing...meaning it is always "NEW"
untested grounds...every single living thing born are special and no 2 are excatly the same... it is always new...and they are all put to test in the new environment, that's why u see sufferings n death of young ones, limitations of the old ones,
deaths of living things including humans being tested to thier limits in billion folds, if they cannot take the new environment, they will perish, those that can will go on until their limits are over-tested...and all in all. those living ones are the ones who learned from those that are tested and perish but not safe as yet but further tested on an even higher limit...and the list goes on and on....
Look at history, look at the present day u will see how far we have come and our young ones will further be tested in the future as we guide them thru' thick and thin so that GOD can use them to further be tested and move on to dimensions that we will never know how great the empire of GOD will become... and that is the purpose...Now look back and u will understand why the world is in such a turmoil...and your answers are there...that's why we try our best and do our best...
in whatever we love to do becos that is what we are built for... ;D
eh..!...Daniel said that.. ;D ;D ;D

* Don't take too seriously lah...
just my opinion only... ;D ;D
In simple plain term:
"LIVE LIFE TO YOUR FULLEST WHILE U R HERE" ;D ;D ;D

wahh suddenly so philosophical ah uncle....

but whats mentioned do make sense too.
Anyway, i always feel myself very very lucky... even though i come from poor family, with a little bit of deprived childhood if compare to my peers... but i had never tried compare myself with anyone...
which is why, i always felt grateful for what i am ... and i still feel i am so lucky even till this date today.

actually what makes me sakit kepala is... when i tries to thinks the "what if"...

what if the world is not what we see as it is....
