Ok so I have been wondering lately what is the point of life? I mean some people think the point is to make money, some people go way animal and think it is to reproduce the human population. My dear Swamiji says the point of Human life is to be come enlightened. But really, I mean is it just that I will meditate until I get enlightened... and then what. I seriously don't think there is a point of life! I read in one of Swamiji's books, I can't remember which one, that once you start really asking this question your spiritual journey has begun, so thats good. But I want some answers, why do people keep going through the same suffering and depression. I remember times when I lived in the Ashram and in India when I was traveling with my mom and friends when I really didn't care what was happening in the world. I ate when I wanted food and there was a place to do it, I slept when I felt tired not when somebody told me to sleep or eat. The other thing I simply wasn't concerned with what happened..... I was just iving! I wish I could be like that agian, but it is really hard. I have to sleep so I can stay awake the next day. My parnts pressure me to eat when they want me to, not when I feel like eating. Then there is Marching band, I don't know if that is the best thing I should be doing my mind keeps saying "oh this isn't spiritual" but really when I am doing (for the most part) I am living in the present and having a great time, and if there is no point to life, then whats wrong with it! But then you could go and argue about abou smoking, alcohal, TV, all that stuff. I mean where is the fine line drawn. Thankfully those things are not a problem for me. I think as long as I am blissful, and healthy it is fine. That should be my current policy. Alright There is an end to my rambeling, about the picture of the day.... I don't know! Like a warning you should apprichiate what you have!

What is the point?
