Serious life Question

[kskboys]

I believe positive and negative people were put on earth to keep it balanced. People wonder why good and evil happens and the answer is because it's supposed to happen.

Preventions of past and future negativities were/are challenges for certain individuals for unknown reason to us.

That's a great question. I see it the opposite, I don't believe it's supposed to happen. I think it's more along the lines of it just happens.

The only answers I have are spiritual.

How do you feel as you live inside of you, looking out?

I'm starting to realize how much smarter I am compared to the average person.

 

[SoupcanSam]

it just happens.

Yeah but alot of what happened in past and present has shaped the entire existence of life from beginning to present.

In short, Revelations says specific events will/has to happen as the world goes through its process.

I believe things happen for a reason. There is always the never ending domino effect that last centuries onward.

It never stop but it shapes certain parts of life which could impact the future resistance a great deal.

While living in your own body, and looking at the world in first person.....do any of you feel different from everybody and everything you are looking at from your first person view?

Do you feel like because of this view you have a certain purpose in this life but you haven't figured it out yet!?

Do you feel like because of this view it seems like you are one of gods main guys born for something?

Does the world seem simulated while you live in your body looking out in first person?

Does it seem weird and scary to you that you are in here and everything else is out there?

I expect to receive responses from the clueless such as the jokesters. But at the same time I expect to also receive repsonse from many out there that has been waiting years for a similar question to arise!

How do you feel as you live inside of you, looking out?

I think everyone feels different from everyone and everything when they look at people/things outside themselves to some extent. I think it's part of the nature of first person...a separate sense of self. It's something that people should be trained to go against. The Golden Rule here applies, because it assumes everyone has the same feelings, importance of existence, etc. The world would be a much better place if everyone followed it.

I feel that everyone has a purpose in life but not everyone finds their purpose. Some people spend their whole lives looking for theirs, others give up, and others find theirs. Sometimes you can have multiple purposes. I doubt it's as simple as 1 purpose per person, but maybe you fulfill them one at a time or multiples at the same time. I think that people who truly believe they've found their purpose and follow it are much happier than those that don't.

I am certain that I was born for a purpose. It doesn't make me special. I believe that I've been given multiple roles to fill, but have only found a couple of them. In time, God will show me the rest of what he has planned for me and I will happily serve as I serve in my current capacity now. Knowing this brings me peace and contentment. It's his plan, I'm just a low-level employee.

Does the world seem simulated? Sometimes it feels surreal, but I don't know about simulated. Would a simulation be aware that it's a simulation? Would it matter in the long run? You are what you are and have a purpose, whether this is "real" or "simulation." It shouldn't affect how you live your life either way.

No, it's not scary that I'm "in here" and everything else is "out there." That's just an artifact of self identity.

Your last question is a tough one to answer. Everyone only has one perspective (their own) so how would anyone know how to describe exactly how they feel living inside themselves looking out? You could say "I feel different than other people feel" but that would be unprovable speculation, since nobody can truly know how someone else feels inside them-self. There's no true basis of comparison. I really think that's why the Golden Rule is so important. We're suppose to treat others as we would want to be treated because it's suppose to teach us that inside we are all the same to some extent. There are certainly differences, but not as many as people might think.

How?

Deeper understanding of things most people fail to comprehend very well.

When I was a kid, I sometimes felt as though I might be the only person with a soul, and that everyone and everything around me were props. My life was either some type of experiment, or some entity supplied my surroundings as a way to keep me entertained, out of some sense of guilt or obligation.

Those feelings went away after I got drunk for the first time, as a preteen.

 

[Runwildboys]

I feel like time is speeding up.
days dont seem to last as long as they used to.
Being older has alot to do with it Im sure...but time just seems to be flying by.

Science tells us that this is a simple.matter of mathematics. When we were young, every day was a much larger portion of our lives. Every day becomes a smaller and smaller fraction of our existence, hence the feeling that time is going by faster.

I'll be damn.

 

[lukin2006]

Those are some deep questions. I honestly wish I could come up with a great response. In the end for me everything keeps coming back to the fact much of why we do we exist on this earth at this particular time ... I'm fine with though. We don't need to know everything. I also do believe that the human will eventually come extinct, if not the entire planet may become extinct...

I could quote Rust Chole from True Detective
"programmed with complete assurance the we are all somebody, when if fact everybody is nobody"

Or Colonel Kurtz from Apocalypse Now
"I watched a snail crawl along the edge of a straight razor. That's my dream; that's my nightmare.
Crawling, slithering, along the edge of a straight razor... and surviving."

Two disturbing visions of existence from pop culture to make a point.

In my experience the most happy/content people I've witnessed have a well defined "purpose or meaning"
driving their existence.

Insert "special purpose" joke from The Jerk here.

Not all of them were particularly faith based.

As long as that purpose or meaning doesn't cause harm I think it's what to look for.

The problem with "purpose or meaning" is finding it
If it was easy, everyone would do it.

I'm almost an old man and I'm still trying to figure
out what I'm going to do when I grown up must less
find my purpose.

Until then Go Cowboys!

I KNOW that I'm WAY WAY WAY smarter, better looking and more accomplished than the rest of you nincompoops

Watching you tiny insects go about your completely meaningless but overwhelmingly self important business can get quite tiresome sometimes but I also have infinite patience and understanding so I'm able to bear it with a kind of detached amusement

However, I have never told anyone this and fight the urge to do this on a daily (and hourly) basis so all these gifts are more a curse than a blessing

Please keep this to yourself

Absolutely. However, it doesn't follow that every tiny thing is planned. In other words, just because the past shapes the present/future, it does not mean the past was following predetermined events.

Basically, humans have a need to believe we are so important that we simply must be the center of the universe. So, because we are so important, there just has to be a plan, there just has to be. So, we insist on this idea of a plan to foster our self importance. Could it be that way? Sure, but odds are it isn't.

When you try psychedelic drugs, it really makes you question reality.

Hmm, wisdom told me the same thing albeit in a different way. When we are say 7 years old, Christmas seemed like an eternity to arrive. In fact it represented 1/7th of your life. As an adult of say 50, it now represents just 1/50th of your life and is why it "seems" to come and go so fast. For me, it represents just 1/52nd of my life and comes and goes pretty fast.

Our purpose in life is to worship our Lord. Everything else just seems to take care of itself.

Clueless jokesters? Glad I am not inside you looking out. So, I guess this is one of your clueless jokester responses. I know plenty of clueless serious people.

One of God's main guys born for something? That one thing right there had led to the deaths of millions of people and most in the name of God.

Most of life is a mystery and man continues to seek it's meaning and thereby, gain more control over it. But does the search for more knowledge lead to a disconnect to the soul?

Is there a soul? Does the mind connect to it or fight it? Are all human beings born with a soul or is there a finite number and many are recycled? Would that not explain the monsters that walk among us that look just like us?

Is the answer to our ability to prolong life and cure some diseases the response of more new diseases and threats? There are things that were here before us and will be after us, some are invincible and choose disguises.

Speaking purely from the first person, I do not attempt to ponder questions with no available answer. I look at life differently than most I know and prefer to take the jokester path because I was given this sense of humor for a purpose, if nothing more than to help me cope with the insanity I see around me. The insanity for which I have no explanation except that there are those without a soul.

While living in your own body, and looking at the world in first person.....do any of you feel different from everybody and everything you are looking at from your first person view?

Yes. I have always identified with my self-preception of individualism.

Do you feel like because of this view you have a certain purpose in this life but you haven't figured it out yet!?

Purpose? No. I have defined goals for myself but I have never considered them as transcendental in nature.

Do you feel like because of this view it seems like you are one of gods main guys born for something?

No. However my personal viewpoint clarifies every past, present and future human as equally important with one another.

Does the world seem simulated while you live in your body looking out in first person?

Simulated? No. I consider existence as real. Understandably, my perception could be false if existence itself is an artificial manifestation, which may or may not be what human beings call a dream.

Does it seem weird and scary to you that you are in here and everything else is out there?

No. To me, existence is a norm. I have always found some of existence's direct or indirect interaction with me as 'weird and scary'. Take weather as an example. I may be calm and non-reflective during a simple rainfall but I can become concerned and apprehensive during a severe thunderstorm. Both are weather examples yet their differences, created by atmospheric variances, can be thought-provoking--at least for me.

How do you feel as you live inside of you, looking out?

My internal 'self' does not experience conflict of an psychological or physiological essence. I would describe my feeling as 'normal' based upon that characterization.
