Analyzing A Purpose

Within the constructs of our day to day lives, we at times, reach a paradox of sorts. It happens without most of us even noticing. We wake up, grab a cup of coffee, smoke our mornings first cigarette, and then, at some point, we glance...

We glance into a mirror, and our world is presented back to us. Nothing strange comes to mind. We think nothing of the semi-optical illusion of the concept. We do not bat an eye at the thought that possibly, we are not simply looking at a piece of reflective glass. We simply glance at ourselves, and go on with our day...

But is that not a paradox in and of itself? Or is looking into a mirror what this entire experience of life is truly about? Think about it. When you look into a mirror, you do not see your world as it is, no matter if said mirror is free of any and all obscurities that could possibly distort it's image. The reality is, that we see the parallel opposites of what we perceive to be our world, and in that, we find that our left hands are our right, and our right our left.

Have you ever done it? Have you ever stared deeply into a mirror and pondered on just how such a simple surface could reflect an inverted projection of all things that pass before it. Now, have you ever pondered that possibly, you did not come upon the mirror because you chose to do so, but rather because the person in the mirror walked past it?

Now, of course, I am not trying to infer that beyond all mirrors lies a doorway into a parallel universe. No, do not get caught up in all of my words. What I am saying is that when we stare into a mirror, we are presented with an image that is the exact polar opposite of our perspective of everything, and thus, we must learn to adapt.


For those of you new to this blog, or perhaps have stumbled here from it's sister, let me state that this concept is essential for you to understand if you ever hope to gain anything from reading my seemingly nonsensical at times articles and blog posts. I am not so much attempting to do anything special or out of the ordinary really. I am trying to be something as ordinary as a mirror. However, you must realize, that what you see in this mirror that I am presenting will be just as those in your house. It will be an inversion, inverted solely because of my perspective, but, you must realize that you appear just as inverted to me, as I do to you.

I laugh to myself as I write this, because if I know me, then I know someone out there is reading this right now, and is wondering just how did they happen across this website, and why do my words and concepts seem so enticing...possibly as if fate itself had led them here.

Remember that statement about the pondering of which is the true reality, the image in the mirror, or the image the mirror is supposedly mirroring? Perhaps this is just the same. I encourage you, whoever you are, however, to strengthen your resolve, and gaze into this mirror with an understanding that you are the one who must interpret your own perspective, and I am not attempting to do so for you.

The real question I guess is, if everything in a mirror is simply inverted reality, then does duality have any true meaning at all, or is it just more of a guideline for defining the differences in perspective? And if that is the case, then why all the emphasis on such things?

Is There A Point?

This blog is entitled "The Meaning Of Life" for a reason people. To put it simply, there is no point. There is no point to anything, and yet, all of these pointless experiences in our existence all are rather good at getting across the point that life, is simply meant to be lived. End of story.

Being this is my first post, I would encourage you, if you have found this site by "chance" to continue to check back from time to time, and to subscribe to the RSS feed, just to keep up to date. I plan on going through many questions that we may or may not have regarding the point of our existence which can seem to be completely pointless at times.

Keep in mind, this blog is not meant to be anything other than a helpful tool of encouragement to those who need it.

I will from time to time address various issues, from religion to politics, and I warn you, should you choose to continue reading, most of what I will write will be misinterpretted, and thus, shall be somewhat controversial in it's very nature.

To tell you about myself a bit. I am not a member of any religious affiliation. I subscribe to no creed of morals and or ethics, past my own personal "book" if you will, which is not written in words, but rather, is a compilation of the realities of my heart. With that being said, take note that also, I am not a member of any political party. Politics are just as evil as religion.

The meaning of life? I hope that we shall discover just what that point is, but I can assure you, if there is a point to all of this, it most certainly is not to fight over politics or religious issues. It must be bigger, and if there is a "God" he must see past all of our trivial excuses for war and hate.

Let me begin this blog, by ending this post with this statement. It should give you a good picture of the essence of what this blog is about.

"Life is not about the ups and downs, nor is it about the still calm that occasionally enters our periods of existence. Life is simply life, and it should be treated as such."
