Dear Nathan,

You assume that finding a meaning to life would change how we live - specifically for the better.

But it doesn't work this way. So many of us have ideas and ideals, but do not live up to them, so at most it can make us feel guilty, inadequate and eventually despair and forget all about it.

Meaning is a feature of the human mind - it does not otherwise exist in nature. How could you possibly expect the mind, itself the repository of greed and vanity, to sacrifice itself for higher things such as protecting the environment and all its living creatures?

I recently found a 1945 cookbook that was printed locally where I live, which had recipes including brains and I was told you can still buy brains today in Butchers shops in 2014. It didn't sound very tasty.

This can be how much some people value a brain.

It's something to eat or unless you are a top class person - like a teacher, doctor, nurse or specialist, your life really isn't worth much or you can't change - your mind is set. Set by others, including elements.

It can be difficult, particularly in a society, dominated by the right wing movement and the socialists - and if you don't fit into their standards you are attacked and have to defend your credentials. I know this - as I go through it myself - being individual and different.

Some hate me to death (and I've been verbally attacked for example) but when people do see some of the things I've done - they realise change can be made in our community.

P.S My brain is filled with a green element, being environmental (not the political party) - maybe its genetic?

Nathan J >> What does life mean? Too often humans see it as 'people only'. So often a lot of people will 'look away' at the element of the natural world, very conveniently. We have other forms of life in terms of waterways, oceans, reefs, other living creatures like birds fish and kangaroos, soils for plants to live, the Sun and other planets, stars and hopefully into the future - fresh, clean air.<< >> It can be difficult, particularly in a society, dominated by the right wing movement and the socialists - and if you don't fit into their standards you are attacked and have to defend your credentials.

Reading through your posts and especially your most recent post it appears to me that when you raised this topic you had a specific agenda on your mind. Throughout your posts you refer to 'So many people...' and go on to say they are essentially wrong in their thinking or way of living.

None of us knows exactly how each one of us fits into the big picture or what purpose each one of us (including all the animals, microbes, plants trees, bacteria etc) contributes.

Nathan, its a giant assumption on your part that being Green, leaning to left politically, or even loving your neighbour is better than someone else's path; in fact none of those things are the purpose of life.

For me Life is a magical spark that differentiates everything that is alive from that which is not; life is a natural force in itself that is like an ocean, containing all living things throughout the whole universe. Individual's or at least their bodies can die but Life, the all encompassing Life Force is infinite and cannot be destroyed. Life as we know it may change significantly over time and is guaranteed to go on with or without human participation.

So what is the purpose of Life? Being, while you can.

You are not going to fit in with the pretentious and materialistic 'cream' of the academics and public bureaucrats who are the leftist 'Progressive' elite manipulating Greens and Labor social policy.

As hipsters, they like to be seen in those trendy restaurants with very large plates and small servings, where offal such as crumbed brains is the (expensive) dish of the day. Add an affected (likely kitch) label to it and these posing 'connoisseurs of good food' wolf it down.

"Chef recommends stuffed camel hump as the main course."
"How unusual, ethnic, diverse, we will all have it of course", as the diners each bob with learned multicult obeisance as their entre servings of Manipur Rakti arrive. The waiter says it is authentic indigenous Nepali, made from goat's blood not pig.

Still, that keeps them away from annoying the waiters and patrons in established restaurants, which is good.

deny Creator and show yourself as totally clueless.Most posts have certainly confirmed that.

The meaning of life is life itself, it serves its own purpose.
