Awh, i am so late to post this but I have to say this. I am somebody who doesnt have a religion, my family is buddhists and because of that, the word BUDDHIST is printed on my birthcert. Idolhunter, may i ask of your religion? you sound very christian, and please take note, this is not an insult!
I dont see the point of finding the meaning of your life by reading a book, i think you should live life to understand the whole point of being here! After experiencing diffrent things through diffrent situations we'll slowly learn to understand sadness, anger, angst, pure happiness and so on ... At the 1st page, uncle idolhunter said something about the HIV kids, um.. let me include the orphans and the disabled. I use to be a stuck up person who doesnt bother about anybody's feelings but my own.(i hope im not now!). After visiting an orphanage and the taman megah disabled children's home, my whole view towards life changed. I stepped into TMDCH(taman megah disabled children's home) feeling disgusted. In a split second, a disabled woman came up to me and shook my hand, i was shocked i was so scared, and so i avoided her. We went there for a cadet trip so what we had 2 do was actually to socialise with them, but i was way to stuck up for that. All of a sudden, an indian woman took my hand and made me sit down, she called me 'kak', and then she started singing. it took me awhile to realise that she was actually mentally disabled.. i looked at her and blinked.... then i looked around me and started crying .. then i realise how lucky HOW LUCKY I am to be who i am .. my friends were so shocked and even the president(of cadet) had to dig for tissues for me ..
That night,i didnt sleep, i was thinking of the places that visited that day, and it strucked me that we are here complete to help others who are less fortunate. After that, i started being friendly to people i meet,even in the shopping malls, i started helping other people pick up things they dropped, helping other people open doors ... .... so yeah conclusion .. i 'dbetter stop writing soon .. CONCLUSION... life is very meaningful and we have to live life to the fullest!! whilewe're still here, we should work hard, play hard and of course, enjoy life!!

Juz wanna share tis for all of u....
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~ God's Cake *~*~*~ *~*~*~
Sometimes we wonder, "What did I do to deserve this?" or "Why did God have to do this to me?" Here is a wonderful explanation! A daughter is telling her Mother how everything is going wrong, she's failing algebra, her boyfriend broke up with her and her best friend is moving away.
Meanwhile, her Mother is baking a cake and asks her daughter if she would like a snack, and the daughter says, "Absolutely Mom, I love your cake."
"Here, have some cooking oil," her Mother offers. "Yuck" says her daughter.
"How about a couple raw eggs?" "Gross, Mom!"
"Would you like some flour then? Or maybe baking soda?" "Mom, those are all yucky!"
To which the mother replies: "Yes, all those things seem bad all by themselves. But when they are put together in the right way, they make a wonderfully delicious cake!
God works the same way. Many times we wonder why He would let us go through such bad and difficult times. But God knows that when He puts these things all in His order, they always work for good! We just have to trust Him and, eventually, they will all make something wonderful!
God is crazy about you. He sends you flowers every spring and a sunrise every morning.
Whenever you want to talk, He'll listen. He can live anywhere in the universe, and He chose your heart.
Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we are here we might as well dance.
so is your life a piece of cake???

Dear Idolhunter, This must be the most thought provoking thread in the entire forum. I have read some books on this and if you are interested, can try Rev Dhammandha's books for ref - he is the Chief of Monks at the Brickfields temple. Why are we here? I conclude tht we are on a journey and How and When our destination ends depends on how we travelled. Some of us will be here to serve, some for a big bang. I read once tht some of us live for a long time but has only one significant moment - we say something or do something to trigger a momentous event.. And there's always balance bec the world was created in yin yang manner. In the present part of my journey, I am here because i have two parts of my heart walking outside of me. My two children carry it with them. And so, I strive to guide them to be healthy and happy - I am taught of humility and gratitude at this time of my life. Perhaps in future, my course will change - but in this short time here, I think I learnt not to ask why? too much. Rather, how? I guess it ultimately boils down to how we lived life as opposed to what is life? p/s have you read Dan Brown's books - Da Vinci Code series - it has some interesting science vs religion ideas there. We can discuss it if you like in your forum.

Sarahg, I m most tempted to discuss, but I think this forum is not appropriate place ;D Yes, I have read the Da Vinci Code.. very interesting... but it touches too much on christainity and alot of hot debates inside there... ;D it needs a very open minded one to accept and again.. this forum is not up to it.. but we can see from here so many types of opinions being put forth.. how complicated our human mind is and multiply it by a billion times... ;D so we will leave it as a thread to put forth our general opinions...thats all..

"WHY ARE WE HERE?" my opinion is... I knew Daniel for the first time, it was the following articles. (Oct 16 2005) ent.sinchew-i.com/content.phtml?sec=5&sdate=&artid=200510160268I felt something a special sense momentarily at the time of having seen Daniel's image, and feeling strong that, "It was necessary to translate his article into Japanese at once, and to introduce it with my Brog" So I immediately introduced it with my Brog. I have come to like various singers before. However, there is rarely a singer who felt a special sense. Though I have two singers who felt it so before, excluding Daniel. (they are, Leon Lai & August Kwan) I was looking at this BBS partly in October. However, I didn't think the remark here at all. Do you know " Soulmate"? "Soulmate" seems to be a word that can be only indicated neither the lover, friend nor the family but also is used even because of the relation between the singer & the fan. The fan & the singer have a good influence each other. It seems to be a relation of "Soulmate". So, I think Daniel is my "Soulmate", as the relation between the singer & the fan. Because three months ago, I had been surprised to read the Japanese book that wrote such a thing "Soulmate". In last November (before I made remarks here last December), I felt that, "Some changes might take place to me because I knew Daniel...". I didn't have being going to write my opinion here until last December at all, and I was going to enjoy hearing close Daniel's song. I didn't intend to take communications because I was not good at English. I have been registered in FC of Jeff Chang & Zhang Juelong before. However, I had not acted any more. But, my idea changes suddenly, I wrote it in this BBS for the first time in December, I'm acting now... I think, Daniel & all pinkies are "Soulmate". Maybe, Daniel was a singer or an entertainer in a previous existence, and we of pinkies supported in him in a previous existence. Where were we & Daniel in a previous existence? China? Europe? USA? Japan...? I don't know... "Why are we here?" ...it's only "fate" in me...
