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.
