Love asked in Social SciencePsychology · 1 decade ago

what is the point of being?

me and my friend once we were sitting down at a bench in the park and i was watching these cliché typical 30's sports dads with there kids play Frisbee. i asked my friend "i am not afraid of anything in this world but one thing" and i pointed to the sports dads and went on saying "un-original... there going to go through out there whole lives probably so predictable from now on and will die just like everyone else" i asked my friend if he'd want to live like that and he said "sure. why not? i mean look there happy" i disagreed with him.

my friends point i realized was his point of not building a legacy when dead or being famous, but just being happy. i get it now but i still disagree with just living and dying. i feel we humans didn't evolve to what we are just to live by instinct like other animals. my point was i want to change the world and be original about it.

above was just an example you can dissect for yourself but my views are much different from that

now. what is your point for being? not just you being unlike my example but altogether. this is just opinion.

    Love is a good answer. God is love. You can know Him too. To help yourself, have hope and pray about your life. Tell God about it. Know that God can help you live a better life. You can have a personal relationship with God by saying the prayer below. God is our Creator, all-knowing, all-powerful, eternal, holy, love. God loves us and sent us His Son, Jesus Christ, so we can go to heaven if we know and follow Him. Forever means without end -- time on and on without death. Forever is what happens after we die. Either we go to heaven and be with God forever, or we go to hell which is very bad and painful forever. The good people who are saved believers in Jesus Christ go to heaven. The bad people go to hell. We need to know and follow God in this world to get to heaven in the next world. We follow God by loving and obeying Him and loving others for Him. Jesus Christ, God's Son, is our bridge to God. Jesus died on the cross to cancel our sins. We need to accept Jesus into our life as our Lord and Savior forever to receive God's blessing and forgiveness plus go to heaven to be with God forever after we die. This is about being a born-again Christian. Faith in God is a gift from God. You can pray for faith in God. Just speak out and ask God for the faith to believe in Him and to follow Him. Some people find faith in God when they realize the beauty in the world is made by God. Evolution can't explain the world's natural beauty, for example, the parks in the world, animals, flowers, peacocks, sunsets, butterflies, rainbows, etc. After you have your faith on, you can pray a sinner's prayer to be a born-again Christian. This prayer is very important and should be said with a sincere heart and faith in God. This is the prayer: "Dear God, I know that I am a sinner and that Jesus Christ is the sacrifice for our sins. I have done the following sins (state these out) and I pray to discontinue these sins. I pray to receive Jesus Christ into my life as my Lord and Savior forever. In Jesus' name, amen." I'm Lutheran and I like the Baptist churches too. You could check out a Christian church youth group or Bible study group to learn about God's will for your life. You can pray to God about your daily life and have a Christian church pray for you.
