The Meaning of Life - Love

Yes... the meaning of life. That huge, popular question which has plagued the human race since the beginning of time. Why are we here? What is or should be our purpose in life? Who made us? Many different races and cultures have theories on this, but they can all be boiled down to one thing: Love. Love your neighbour as yourself, one of the most famous quotes from the bible, tells us how we should go about loving each other: love should be given to others as you would wish it upon yourself. While this is undeniably difficult, it is very important to love care, and respect all around you with equal affection.

Now, many people in our current day cannot find the time or the care for religion. While I myself am an anglican, I understand how difficult it can be to find time in our modern day lives for something which seems so trivial, and so unreachable, that many could not be bothered. This, however, should not be the case. Those who believe in God, and all those who don't, all share the fundamental human paranoia: they have a need to know what their true origins are.

We all have a need, a yearning to know what's out there. Is it a god? A divine being? How do we know that we exist at all? It's hard to think about these questions a s a human, let alone a christian. It is hard, for me I know, to contemplate the great mysteries of life when your religion covers them. It is not that I don't believe in God. Trust em I do. It's just very difficult to be honest with your self when thinking about these matters, as hard as it is to discuss them with fellow christians, as this would sound strange to such ears, and non-believers, as they would not understand. It is, however, important to think of this. So take a moment to believe next time you contemplate the Meaning of Life.

A coward is incapable of exhibiting love; it is the prerogative of the brave.
