Meaning of Life

What is the meaning of life? What is the purpose behind it all? – Hell if I know. Well here is yet another random thought, just like I mentioned in my introduction – this could end up being the ravings of a mad man.
Now – the meaning of life – my answer was very accurate for me – I have no idea – its something I have been trying to answer for a very long time now. I get up in the morning, go to work, stay there all day long, come home, have dinner, hang out, go to bed and then it starts all over again. I find no purpose in my daily job – the intricacies of accounting hold no meaning for me at all – and yet it appears I am good at it. So again – what is the meaning/purpose of life. Am I supposed to continue this daily drudge of commuting to a dull and boring job – or is there something else waiting for me? Something wonderous? I can only hope.
At times it seems we have not even touched the smallest part of our potential. Humans are amazing when you think about it. We have populated a planet, created a society (which we also like to break) and have grown so much in a few short thousand years – and yet here we are trudging back and forth – heading to a dull job, and then heading home – doing the same routine day, after day after day. Surely there must be more.
Perhaps there is. Just maybe there is far more to life than we could even imagine, or that science could explain.  But this is something I have yet to find. Sometimes I feel life needs a quest, or a challenge – maybe that is why I love writing fantasy books. I feel driven to create challenge, to create a story of good against evil in an attempt to make my life more meaningful. Maybe we should all be looking for this challenge, looking for the fight of good against evil – surely it exits. The Universe is such a ponderous thing and yet is the concept of good and evil real – or is it a human invention. Have we created good and evil to give meaning to our lives? Did we invent religion to give meaning to our lives?

I for one certainly hope there is more to life than the daily drudge of working. I hope that good and evil does exist, cause I would like to get in on that fight. I want to know I am part of something bigger. Not necessarily a religious something – just a part of something that is important – like the character in my books – a champion for good, for helpless people – something exciting.

Random thoughts

Hello World

Well here I am, just commencing with my blogging life. I am new to this, and you might wonder why - well to be honest I am not quite sure. Over the past few years I have written a couple of books, one is published through Iuniverse, the other two on Kindle - I have written alot of stuff, just general stuff and never thought about sharing any of it in a blog - but today I was staring at my computer and just thought - well you know, maybe I do have some things to say. They may not be important things, they may not mean much to anyone other than myself - but thats OK - I still have things to say.

There are so many things going on in the world today - and so many groups of extreme thinkers. Each group, and/or race is intent on blaming the other, but you know what - WE are all to blame. We create society. We are society. We have nurtured and made a society of violence, hatred and racism and we need to start taking responsibility and making things better.

So many problems with society and the world. So much hatred, so much violence. People no longer care for carings sake. They dont care about people, about learning new things, about reading - we just want to hurt each other and the world around us.

Why are humans so good at hurting people and destroying the world. It saddens me that as a race we do nothing but burn, crush and destroy everything we come in contact with.

Perhaps its time to bring changes, time to go back to simpler times when we had to rely upon one another to survive. Has our society advanced too far, or just advanced in the wrong direction?
