Hi this is my submission about The Meaning of Life, i would firstly like to say a big thank you to the good people at my mental institute for letting me use their PC, and also a big thank you to all the people at SR for recommending me there.
I usually have a lot a free time on my hands (Explains things don't it?) and most of the time it is thinking about stuff, anything usually but most of all lately the meaning of life, it has come to me that the meaning of life is:
"Conflictions" (Ok keep reading so you can understand it) Basicaly the whole world runs on Conflictions it is what makes us tick, what makes the world go round, what life is all about, lets take an example:
A game (Computer and not) - If there was no way to lose there would be no point in trying, it is the Confliction that keeps you playing, not knowing which way the dice will role, not knowing if you will be wiped out on the final boss of FFVIII, if there was no way of losing there would be no point playing.
A 'Soap' - What keeps you watching is the Conflictions that happen, you WANT to see the fight when someone finds out their best friend is sleeping with his wife, or the Confliction of a big argument.
This is what we humans need to live without it we would not be able to survive, this rule also applies to the animal kingdom, without the Confliction of animals fighting for food, most of the animals would die of starvation or the Confliction of trying to find a mate otherwise thier species would die out.
Us as humans are a little more developed in our lust for Conflictions we need what i call a 'Focus Point' someone or something that is the attention of all the Confliction at the time and place (The words 'The Game' come to mind) of course with all rules there are exceptions, lets take an exception of both a Focused Confliction and a None Focused Confliction:
Focused:
Two words The Game, when he was on all of you attacked him directly, he was the Focus Point of all you rage and Conflictions that need to be taken out on someone, he was just a tool to rid you of your anger (For the time)
Un-Focused:
In our school, beating, bullyings, and general violence are a daily happening, a few days ago most of the people in our school were involved in a large scale fight at multiple people (Sadly i was involved :( ) this was 'Focused' but not entirly so, each person was focused on an individual person and not everyone against 1 or 2 people.
This brings me to my next point, something that is not usually talked about, religon, i am not sure but i think that Jesus Christ was another being, for he did not have any Conflictions (from him to someone else) but i am sure that he was something special, either another being (explaned later) or his brain was formed different from another humans irradicating (or almost) the need for Conflictions, i am going to leave it at that with the religon side of things as i do not want to provoke (too much) any Conflictions.
Attention i was going to say a little on the matter of sex< (Maturly) but i have otherwise decided not to as it could provoke too much.
So now i draw to an end :)
I would like to end this by asking you a question, or rather a riddle as it can not be answered by a human or using a human language, it can only be answered by emotion, but anyway:
Just for a moment suppose there is a higher intelligence, and in thier society there is no Conflictions, what would it be like?
Thanks for reading Va!

I used to believe in stuff when I was young too... :)
(I'm getting Simpsons DeJa-Vu here for some reason?!?!)
-- I hope if dogs ever take over the world, and they choose a king, they don't just go by size, because I bet there are some Chihuahuas with some good ideas.

Well, this was about the meaning of life. It's sort of religony.

Yeah, as religious as I am, I reckon some of the stories in the Bible aren't true. They're just there to make God sound even better or worse, whichever way you think.
I don't believe in the Creation story. I believe in evolution, but I reckon that was in God's plan as well.
If you ask me, no story would be passed down thousands of years if it wasn't at least partly true.
Most of the Christians I know, including me, aren't like your Christian friends. But some people do take advantage of God.
It doesn't matter if other Gods look better, or if the stories are better. Being a Christian is hard, but it has its good points.
I'm sorry if I'm annoying you guys with my beliefs, but I just felt as though a Christian's view would be valid.

Ather Lowe read the cartoon (Capt Mannering from Dads Army) ... Although isnt the auther sited as just Roger Hargreaves... with no Mr or Mrs given?
I think its a good sign when a topic oringinally raised to discuss the validity of the survived christian biblical texts can transform itself into the sex of the auther of the Mr Books! :)
