A debate on the most important questions in life???
Where Did I Come From? Who Am I? How much money is enough? What is love?
I recently published a post containing, Tips on living a better life in 2008, which sparked some serious debate over number 28, “God heals almost everything”. With over 12,000 views in one week and 30 comments, I was pleased this post had such a great response. I allowed all the comments, both negative and positive, to fly as I watched the debate progress. Very few chose the middle ground, but those comments happened to be my favorite. What I loved most about the post was that I learned a little something from its publication. Notably, the following comment seemed to strike a cord with me by JM, “It’s as though #28 ruined the day for everyone who read it. I’m agnostic or atheist or I don’t really know what, but it’s really irrelevant. I’m just blown away by the negativity that one comment can provoke in people who are logging on to a website based on “enlightenment.” My personal advice would be to “F&*$# lighten up.” But perhaps more sage advice would be what a Buddhist monk once told me when I struggled with one of the teachings: “Ignore that teaching. If it is a roadblock to accepting the good parts in the other passages, then you must discard it. Maybe one day you will feel differently about it, maybe not, but don’t let it get in the way of the parts which are helpful to you.” That’s my two cents. Feel free to get angry, I won’t.” So as a follow up to this post, I am asking the following question and I hope that my readers will continue this debate and we can all learn a little something from each other. What are the most important questions in life? Are they about religion, happiness, freedom, love, etc? Can any answers satisfy everyone, or are the answers only personal ones shape by ones experience in life? So what are the questions that are most important in life? Have you found any answers? What answers? To start things off, I have listed some questions to get the ball rolling. I hope you will share your knowledge, love, hate, wisdom, or whatever you feel like ranting about. I will allow everything except personal attacks on others to be published. What are the most important questions in life? Is it………………
