[QUOTE="Harry Haller, post: 201621, member: 14641"] As the subject now at debate is whether we indeed have free will regarding matters like cutting our hair, I will proceed on that basis as this is a relevant point, I absolutely do. I am not one of those people that defer to fate or even quantum mechanics, I do, however, know what beats in my heart, and the reason I am in a marriage that is coming to its end, living with three dogs I hardly see, and spending most of my time in a hamster cage, is absolutely down to my choices and the way I have played the game. Could it have been different? absolutely! we are speaking of the same thing, but using a different language, my language is one of perception, logic, of being pragmatic, yours is of spirituality, of order, faith. Mine is of a conscious alignment with Ek Ong Kar, a decision, to live life in a certain way, to you, that alignment appears either automatic or pre destined. I disagree, one depends on faith, the other does not. I make people laugh, that is my meaning of life, its not hard to achieve, but from an early age, the sound of laughter obsessed me, my meaning of life is to make everyone else's journey a bit more happy, and that is what I do, I don't think beyond that these days. not at all, there is no shortage of people that need to laugh! Once you get your head round the fact that no amount of sex, cars, money is going to make that feeling go away, it subsides over time, till all you have left is today. The sense of guilt I feel is down to my realisation that I was never meant to be a family man, never meant to be one of those fellows who is always there for his family, what family I had is on the verge of final destruction, because the whole world is now my family, I will gladly help anyone, but my destiny is solitude and the journey to the self. The quest was over some time ago, rightly or wrongly, I came to the conclusion that the meaning of life was quite simple, to find out who you are, and to be that person, as far as Sikhism goes, it rubber stamps the end product with the facets of personality of Creator as described in Mool Mantar, so there you go, the meaning of life is to find out who you are, and then be that person aligned as best you can with the personalities of Creator. To achieve this does not need a family, friends, love, happiness, sex, money, cars, power, ego, pride, whatever. In fact solitude is more your friend than your enemy! I am broke because I choose to be, I could put my prices up, charge more than a chocolate bar for light repairs, pay my engineer less, stop giving sweets to the local kids, no, I am broke because I enjoy not being a slave to money. yes, I see that, you write warmly, it is always a pleasure to read your writings so that we can keep this thread on subject, I will start a new thread where we may continue this, [/QUOTE]
