Let Mr. Biggums Tell You What Life Is All About

You know what, let me tell you exact how to live your life.  Have you ever read a persuasive quote by a person who seems to have life all figured out?  Well you NEED to listen to that quote.  I'm sorry but there is no other way.  No but seriously, I am all for creating quotes on life.  However, I believe they should be quotes for your personal journal or library of quotes.  The moment you think you have all figured out is the exact moment you start to slip away.  Now let Mr. Biggums be serious and tell you a little of my thoughts on life.  The first thing about life is that it is labeled as a "life".  So we have this magical accident of exploding meteors and energy that obviously created themselves and then smashed together to create this thing we know as life.  The second thing is that in this life we have our lives.  And we evolved from apes of ancient time and we know for a fact that earth has been here for billions of years.  Yes, we do have the equipment that tells us that.  IT'S A FACT!  Now we take this life and our lives a step further into our children's lives!  But wait.... How did our children get here?  Oh that's right we have some accidental power to create more human beings that resemble us and stuff.  I mean there is no way any of this life could possibly, by some chance be on purpose.  I mean that would be totally absurd to believe something like that!  Why believe there is purpose when we have actual smart people who can figure out life in a theoretical way?  THIS WHOLE LIFE IS ONE BIG ACCIDENT!!!  The fourth and probably most important thing we have in this labeled "life" is our minds.  Wow we are pretty cool accidents aren't we?  We have minds that can come up with creativity, that can love, that can solve problems, that can trick us into thinking we have life all figured out.  The truth is, none of this life is by accident.  There is purpose here.  I want you to stop reading after this next sentence and just think about it until you understand the words how they are written, not how you want to hear them.  ALL OF WHAT WE KNOW IN THIS LIFE SERVES A PURPOSE.... I hope you took the time to really understand this.  Take anything for example.  Take a water bottle.  It's purpose is to hold water so that we can drink it and stay alive.  Paper is for writing on so that we can show others, or remind ourselves, what we have written.  Light bulbs are for giving us light to see.  If you think I am simply stating the obvious and being stupid by this point then be my guest to stop reading.  I encourage you to look at the bigger picture though.  Everything, no matter what, has, is, or will serve a purpose in life.  So why should this exclude humans?  Why should this exclude life itself?  I encourage you to find a purpose in your life and live your own life however you want to live it.  Or live it how others want you to live it.  I'm not here to uplift you or tell you what to do to have a positive life.  I'm not here to tell you what to do at all.  If you like being bossed around then do it!  If you like standing up for yourself, then great!  All I wish for you to get out of this is that life has purpose and is by no means in accident.  If you don't believe in God or some kind of higher power then that's fine too.  Maybe you just don't want to believe anything and just take in everything by surprise.  That's cool too and most of the people who aren't looking for anything usually find something.  If you want to be sure what your purpose is then I really do encourage you to not stop looking until you find it. You may find yourself fall into deep depression before you get there but I feel as though it will all pay off if you never stop looking for an answer, whether that be your life's answer, or life's answer in general.  Start now!  How did we get here?  If you really believe we evolved from apes then where did they come from?  Take it back as far as you can and whatever you do, don't stop until you get that answer.  You'll know.

  1. Holy crap. This is your first post on whatever? Where do you possibly go from here? You've just written about life and what it all means. Talk about ambitious.

    I read the whole thing, by the way. You had me confused a few times. I thought you were really trying to say that this whole thing is one big accident. But then I got it. Interesting.

  2. This as all so very well put. I feel better about myself and purpose already. "Why should this exclude humans." I really like this sentence. It makes you really think why we always tend to separate ourselves from everything. Outstanding writing
