Re: Asian Disaster
Well my own view on the purpose of life is quite a simple one, and I expect people will disagree with me but that's not a problem. In case you are interested this is the shortened version:
We existed in spirit form prior to birth. Our spirits entered bodies which we currently occupy and the purpose of that is to learn from our experiences here, whatever they may be. Eventually we all die, our spirits continue to exist apart from our bodies. One day we will be resurrected, receive perfect bodies and continue to live forever. The things that we experience and endure whilst in this mortal life may also be for other people's benefit. We'll eventually understand it all in the end. I believe this mortal existence is a very small part of things. I also believe that we only get the one mortal life experience although I know there are many people who believe in re-incarnation and believe they have evidence to prove it. That's one of the instances where I have to agree to disagree with some people.
Again that isn't meant to sound arrogant. It's merely my standpoint. It's who I am and where I am.
