Existentialism

     Many people go through life day after day just doing what they are told to do. "Tonight for homework finish assignment 12-2" or "you have a meeting at 2". What will doing these things do? Why do we do them? Most do not know, while others think they have life all figured out. I suppose everyone's goal in life is to be happy, but why are people doing so much that does just the opposite? For the money? For the fame? Some believe strongly in religion without second guessing it. Was there really this guy who supposedly came from heaven to earth to save us? If that idea had just come up it would have been ridiculed. Why is it now considered as real as gravity by multiple millions? Other people believe that we live on this earth in an infinite universe and that we can do whatever we wish without it really mattering in the grand scheme of things. This concept is no doubt controversial. Who is right? Who is wrong? That is the hard choice we all have to decide. Some people chose to do what everyone they were raised by do. Others question a little more. I am doubtful that I will ever know for sure why I am here if for any reason at all, but for now I am living how I want to live and I have no regrets. Leave comments on what you have decided for now as it is quite the interesting topic! Should we just follow the flow and do what we are told? Or should we branch out and live life more free?
