I Like Philosophy

If you're waiting for someone to come along and explain to you who you are or what life's all about, you might just be waiting a long time. In fact, you'll never know - I promise you. If you don't take it upon yourself to explore the deeper questions of your existence, then how do you expect you'll ever know? Not unless, of course, you think we're here to watch television and tell people what we ate for dinner last night (yes, I'm looking at you guys here on Similiarworlds!).

Aren't you even slightly curious? That there may just be more to your little existence than all of this? Don't you at least feel that there might be, even if you're not sure what it is yet? But if you don't ask, you'll certainly never know. That's a fact. But those who ask, and therefore seek, WILL always find. That's how it factually works, just so you know.

Are you here to push buttons and be a robot like everyone else? Or is there something more?

P.S. I care about you guys so much. I just want you to think a little, you know? Pleeeeease?! *innocent stare*.

Because the very nature of seeking is that the individual doesn't give up or lose hope along the way, but is intent on finding what it is they're looking for. The minute you start finding excuses and reasons to no longer seek, then you will no longer find. There are no absolute guarantees, of course - all depends on the individual. But as I say, if you don't even bother to ask/seek, then you're already certain to never find. Most people can't even be bothered to seek, and then they wonder why life seems so meaningless to them. It's because they're not taking the first step... they're waiting for someone to come along and do it all for them. That's not seeking.

I think far too many seek agreeable answers rather than actual answers. If it's not agreeable then they chalk it up to a road block rather than simply another obstacle to overcome.

I disagree with "But those who ask, and therefore seek, WILL always find.". People don't always have the luxury of finding an answer

We're just another evolved organism that just happens to be top of the food chain.
All that 'Why are we here?' Stuff is yet ANOTHER man made problem!
That's one thing man does better than any other creature! Creates his OWN problems!
Boboxixbo · 26-30, M
Why do you think that they will definitely find a answer if they are serious about finding? I see no reason why someone serious might not ever find an answer.
FocusReborn · 26-30, M
They will if they're actually serious about finding. Otherwise, they'll make an excuse.

@Picklebobble Well we definitely create our own problems. No arguments there.

@JessicaMarie Very true.
