What is the meaning of life? Years ago a good friend of mine came to this conclusion. During a philosophical debate he paused, leaned in close, looked both ways (As if to see if anyone was listening) and said, “Do you want to know the meaning of life?”
Ever so curious I answered...'Yes'. He replied in a soft whisper, “Its all bull$hit.”
His reasoning was simple. We struggle through life worrying about the small stuff. If we're lucky enough to reach old age we realize it was all a big waste of time.
Taking that into consideration I came up with my own theory.
From the day we're born we seek the basic needs of food, shelter, and clothing. Then we focus on our secondary necessities. We may get jobs, raise families, and ultimately pursue the creature comforts that make life fun.
My belief is that one day we get all the knowledge we desire. On that day we learn the true meaning of our existence. Now here's the catch. It comes to us the split second before we die.
If this theory is correct, then God has one hell of a sense of humor.
