Here we live in a state of meaninglessness. Why we do what we do after all, for everything is fading, and nothing remains unchanged.

I get something, let us say a big prize, and my joys go unboundedly and I feel the luckiest fellow. Does this level of joy remain for long? The degree of it goes on lessening and a moment comes and I will feel like I have got nothing.
A pain too is like this, if any misfortune happens we will feel sad,and as a saying goes 'Time is a Great Healer, the intensity of sadness declines and a moment will come we will feel nothing happened.

Everything is fleeding and is in flux, and what state we are in will not remain the same.
Millions and millions of years have passed, and so many generations have passed , and we can not see anything going permanently.

The question is: Is there anything called immortality? Permamence? Truth?
If there is God I can feel solace in Him?
Maybe that is why spiritualists or those who beleive in otherworldliness can have peace of mind.

by for, the question's which, that is to live by or live for.

if i live for earning a million bucks, i don't doubt the world would begrudge me this.

ergo live by, and come what may, you'll keep your head high.

Man, I could write a thesis as an answer. I need more time but for now:

The only constant is change.
Man was made to seek pleasure, and the highest pleasure is God, because it isn't fleeting; it lasts. It builds; not destroys.

Meaninglessness is, in itself, meaningless.

Yes, the only thing I feel would remain permanent in my life would be the unpredictability of it. :p


If there is God I can feel solace in Him?
Sure, why not? :)
