Meaning
Maybe meaning isn't something we are meant to look for. I've been searching for years to try and find it, like some sort of hidden treasure. It recently occurred to me that meaning could find us. What if?... what if it's a living thing. It lives and grows off the things we do, no just our actions, our emotions and thoughts too. We are the creator's of our own meaning, we might not know how we're putting it together or making it but we are with each passing second of every day. It grows within us, like our soul. Maybe meaning is our soul, what we live for, our principles, why we make the choices we do. Our soul would then be nothing more than our purpose, the derivative of our thoughts and emotion. I know there are a lot of maybes and what ifs in this post, but that is how ideas start. As a random belief, before they can be theorized, or even organized enough to hypotheses.

Why?
Why are we?
That question is one that has plagued mankind since our beginning. For most we look to religion to answer this question, but I think for us to solely depend on the religious perspective for an explanation does not do justice to the bigger picture, to our "humanity". My intention for this blog are not to question the existence of God, but rather to look at our race, as a whole and within this world. An angle that I think hasn't truly been explored, since Socrates and Pluto we've look towards the heaven in hopes of understanding ourselves; to see where and how we fit in the divine plan. But there is a flaw with this way of thinking, the devise cannot be proven or dis proven, it is intangible and thus becomes moot with regard to the discussion of what is humanity. Maybe the reason we've spent so much time and energy on this question is becuase the way we've been approaching it doesn't work. To understand us I believe we should look at ourselves, that only seems logical. Ourselves as individuals and a society, as well as, the way we affect and fit into the world around us. For if all creatures of God the differences among us could help answer some of our greatest questions. I hope this make sense to anyone reading this, this is a question that has been in mind of the past few years. I thought that making this into a blog would allow me to do a few thing, one, help me better comprehend my view of "us" and two, enable me to track my thinking process throughout this journey, oh and of course to invite the insight of those how may be empathic to simple yet complex question.
