Religion of Relations

Who am I?  I am I.  Am I real?  Perhaps, I am real but I don’t know for certain.  What am I?  I am a figment of something called reality.  Why am I here?  I was born to a loving family.  What can I do for them?  Make them better people.  Who are my friends?  Someone who gives you knowledge is a friend.  What am I supposed to learn?  I am supposed to learn my place in the world.  What is my purpose?  Only God knows.  Why does God only know?  I have no free will.  Is God real?  If you believe he/she is real then he/she is real.  Should I base my life around a misleading figure?  That is a choice that only I can make.  Why would that be good?  It will lead you to friendships and the uniting of people.  Why should I associate myself with people I don’t necessarily agree with?  If enough people believe in one thing it becomes a reality.  Why does it have to be religion?  It doesn’t it just has to be a common idea.  Anything?  Anything.  Why am I attracted to certain people?  They share the same beliefs that you do.  Why?  If groups of people believe in one thing, it becomes strong, a bonding force.  What is this belief’s purpose?  It creates a legacy among people.  Why is this good?  When people get remembered when they pass, in a way, they are still living in the minds of others.  What does this mean?  The mind is the after-life.  We go to other people’s minds?  We are all connected.  What is the Meaning of Life?  To love and connect with the people you care about so that they may live forever until the trail of memories has ended.  Then you are free.

  1. "The mind is the after-life."
    I really like how you put that. When I think of those who have passed, I imagine them together but really they are just together in my mind and memories.

  2. I love this -- the way you continually phrase a question followed by an answer which leads to another question and on and on... it say so much about life - it's a trail of never ending questions with self fulfilling answers that keep bringing to mind more intertwined questions ..

    beautiful.
