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.
