What is the meaning of life?

It is a very common mistake that people would ask "What is the meaning of life?". Asking this question immediately one have to answer with a intellectual "mind" answer. Which leads you away from the truth. The question that you should ask is

How do I experience Life ?

This leads you to answer with the heart. Now there is a lot of experience's that you can have during your life. They all give you different feelings. But the ones that I am talking about is when you see your first baby been born. The star's in the eye when you saw your lover for the first time. When you burst out crying when your friends show you their love in hard times. Any small acts of kindness and love that you gave unasked for. These and many other experience's of the same kind give you a feeling of uplifting secure low vibration of Love in the core of your being. This is the experience of Life. There is no meaning, no meaning is needed. It just is.

During your life these are experience's that happen to you. Now I would like to challenge you to make these experience's happen in your life and in the life of others. This you can do simply by acts of kindness and love that nobody asked for.

Life is not all this intellectual. It is very easy, It is very simple. It is love

I know I keep asking questions, and thanks for responding.

This time I would like to know what you would have to say about a situation in which someone has a different idea of love. In example, what if there was a serial killer who loved children so much that he would kill them to spare them the negative experiences of life? Would he be wrong to love, even if his actions came from (an albeit twisted sense of ) genuine love?

Each one of us has a different understanding of Love. I think that each one of us have to think what is the best behaviour and attitude in life and behave like wise. When we have an experience or wisdom that teaches us other wise we should eagerly change our definitions, behaviour and attitude towards life. This brings us to 3 problems.

1. We don't think for our selves what is the best behaviour and attitude in life is.

2. We don't behave according to our own definitions and a view points.

3. We don't accept new view points easily. And don't want to give up our current views. IE resistant to change.

So in your example the killer did not think fully through, his theory about life. Other wise he would realise that it is better for children to have a full life time. Also he did not see the pain and suffering he caused the child and the parents. If he did he would change his actions IE views of life.

This brings us to an interesting point. As the killer was unable to see his own mistaken views. Me and you also have mistaken views that we do not see. The killer would learn in a hard way. IE going to jail. But you and me how can we improve our view of life, our view of Love. We have to think about what we think real love/life is. Behave like it. (hard one to do) But the most important is to be open to new views and ready to leave behind old views. Even if they where very dear to us. Also important that we come to this views ourselves and not from other people or organisations.

Does this mean that you're against abortion? "So in your example the killer did not think fully through, his theory about life. Other wise he would realise that it is better for children to have a full life time."

I don't know. I would let the woman decide and accept her decision.
