What is the Purpose of Life?
A poem by Stan Hayward
You have to examine this with your own being - how are you energy seeking energy?
How is life finding a purpose in you?
What is the one energy you can’t live without?
Is it Love?
What action do you take daily that isn’t based in some part on love… either love of ‘your’self, or love of another self?
I am repeating: If you are a hammer then everything is a nail
If you are a nail expect to get hit and don't complain
If you are a butterfly and meet a hammer you will be lucky wise or dead
The question makes a common and wrong assumption...
That YOU have a purpose in life YOU DO NOT
NO! NO! NO!
You do not have a purpose in life Life has a purpose in you
Life could not care less whether you live or die
whether you are smart or stupid
whether you are ugly or beautiful
whether you are rich or poor
whether you are young or old
whether you are healthy or ill
whether you are striped or polka dotted
whether you laugh with delight or scream with despair
Life only cares that you
carry it
pass it on
promote it
succor it
protect it
Life has one purpose only the seeking of available energy
That is all nothing else
there never was
there never will be
If you don't understand that you will never understand anything
Life has no interest in your silly games
fantasies
imaginations
rituals
philosophies
Arts or Sciences
Victories or defeats
Undying loves,
or burning hates
Life does not care
if you stand on a thousand pedestals
and be praised in every land
any more than it cares if you die alone,
forgotten in some arid desert,
bleached by the sun
You are the purpose of life
Life does not ponder on you
Species come and go
Some swim, some fly,
Some seek gold at the ends of rainbows
Life does not care so long as it continues
Ask the wind why it blows
Ask the river why it flows
Ask the Sun why it glows
Ask the cloud why it snows
Ask the grass why it grows
then ask Life what it knows...
