I have no answer but since I believe in God, maybe that’s where this puzzle we call life all comes full circle… smiles, Elise "Each man’s life touches so many other lives, and when he isn’t around he leaves an awful hole, doesn’t he?"~*~ ~ Clarence ~ George Bailey’s Guardian Angel from the film, "It’s a Wonderful Life" I do wonder why I exist at times. I do know that I have been directly responsible for saving 2 peoples lives. I guess this is one of my purposes. My life has not turned out like I wanted it but I still hang on. There are times where I wish I could just sublimate – just vaporize into a non-existant state. Not having to go through a suicide but just to disappear. I know this is not possible so I just go on. — The charter is available at:http://readystump.algebra.com/~asapm — The charter is available at:http://readystump.algebra.com/~asapm – Show quoted text –
One of the more interesting things is how my faith in God has increased and how my faith in the Christian religion has waned. I used to be forced to go to Sunday school when I had bad ADHD. Being forced to sit still in Sunday school and then being fed with things that I didn’t beleive in was excutiating. As I grew older, I believed less and less. There is a supreme being or divine spirit that holds everything together. Both the genetic code for the impulses in the human brain and the expanding universe are both totally beyond my scope of comprehension but the fact that both exist are proof that some supreme being has the power to create and direct both. I just look at Christmas as a time of giving and Thanksgiving for family, food, and shelter and any other blessing that you have. Not the Roman pagan holiday that this day stems from. — The charter is available at: http://readystump.algebra.com/~asapm

You are not alone. Sometimes I feel the same. Saving 2 lifes was one of your purposes, but I know what you mean. Sometimes you wonder in general, what the purpose of your life is. Just my own thoughts and observations, but it seems to me that people who have had very fulfilling busy lives, good health, satisfying relationships and got most things they want in life – not material things in particular seem to be the happiest. I always wish I had had better relationships, which gives your life so much more fulfillment and purpose. People who have not felt they had the best life because of circumstances or luck or bad choices they made, can have a lot of regrets. I read a good article about regrets recently and those were some of the thoughts the article conveyed. Everybody has some regrets, but some people seem to be able to move on past them better than others. But we all have our own genetic makeup, coping abilities, individual natures, personalities, life experiences, and have to live within our own limitations which is not always easy and not always what we want to do. Just my own "off the top of my head" philosophical thoughts. Not exactly your topic, but a spinoff. Mary — The charter is available at: http://readystump.algebra.com/~asapm

I feel the same way, Fred. There is nothing else to do, but go on, so we go on. I’d love to vaporize, too. kili — The charter is available at: http://readystump.algebra.com/~asapm
