The Ultimate Purpose of Life?

People had been doing those types of things long before he had ever existed. And again, there is no written literature, notes, or anything by this supposed Jesus. And most of what he is said to have said had been written 100's of years after his death in a magical verbatim quotation.

The ultimate purpose of life is self-attainment. That is what purpose is. ;)

Dear Friend SOTS: Your response to The Jackel is on point, and completely correct. The thrust of the article is about being your brother's keeper. No where in that video did I hear or see any attempt to say that being good to others is a bad thing, or that one way is the only way to be motivated to a life of service to humanity. Non-believers can as well help others for reasons of their own. That would be on point. Jackal and Pick Nick could have said that as those who follow some other moral code, they too wish to help others. That is not what they centered on. They were both off point.

Congratulations on your fione seed here. As a species, we will get father being there for others, instead of ridiculing those who do.

Well done!

Shalom U'vracha. Peace and Blessing, Enoch.

Deeds such as these must be in a person's heart. To say, "But for God I couldn't/wouldn't have done this" seems more apologetic than inspired. It is people who are good or bad, regardless of any other influence. I, personally, feel insulted when people attribute the goodness in my own heart to a God. I've performed many good deeds in the name of, "Humanity."

Article title: The Ultimate Purpose of Life : to find ourselves in others and treat them as we would be treated...
To relate not compare...
You also offered a video showing such attention in another country, I must believe that things like this happen all over and while many have a "religious" bend countless little decencies occur without thought of personal gain.

Thank You for the seed...

PS> ignore the trolls

SOTS that is one of the most inspirational videos I've ever seen. Thanks for that. If I could, I'd vote this up many times over.

A story about true humanity.

I am always happy to encounter someone who does good works, out of the kindness of their hearts, with no attempt to capitalize on those works to get elected into some office or other, or to garner public admiration, or fame. Likewise, I am not impressed by people who do good works in hopes of some personal reward even if it is from god. A good work is only such when the doer expects, nor seeks any reward for doing it. A case in point, when the last big hurricane hit Hatti, and nearly destroyed it. a well know actress and her husband charted several cargo planes, loaded them up with medical supplies and staff, as well as building materials and volunteers and flew there and got to work. She has never said anything publicly about it, (I estimate that it cost them over ten million dollars) and when one reported asked her about it she told him it was not an appropriate question and ended the interview. That is a good person.

My dear Friend SOTS, Thank you so much for this seed and video. If I may you have done your self proud. All one has to do is to look into the eyes of this man and one can see the spirit of the love he aspires from his soul. He truly lives the his spiritual path. There in lies the differences of following a Religion when convenient and living the spirituality of the Religion on a 24/7 basis. In this case the man lives is Brahman class and does not wear it. Thank you.

I would like share a brief story, if I may, which brings the point home a bit. There was a group of Roman Catholic, other denominational Priests and Clergy who when to visit Mother Tressa, when they arrived they were put up in very limited space and conditions. When woken they given little to eat, and were given a wash bowl, water, soap and towels and told to go out to the street and told to clean up those who were lying in the streets. I ask one of the priests, who it went. His comments were: I found a man so filthy and dirty lying in the street, and he said he knelled down and could not bring himself to touch the man and remained silent for a while. Then he felt a presents behind him and he heard Mother Tresa ask him the following question, "are you having trouble?" He replied "yes". She then said,"you need to see G-d in his face." and she walked off without another word. My friend came back a changed man.

I don't know the Ultimate purpose of life for every one, but for myself I can only speak. I know a promise was made and when fulfilled I will return to the source of my creation. And as life is given I must accept my lot, do my best and make free choices between Good and Evil. Eliminate the desires of the senses, realize things of the world are impermanent. So give faith, hope and charity, I walk my humble path expecting nothing but each my needs are given, my needs are unimportant and I let life come to me hoping I will make good decisions based upon the grace and guidance of my creator.

Hope this makes some sense and thank you again for the great seed. Peace.

Hello Stranger On The Shore!!!

What a wonderful video of a man with a big, beautiful heart with enough caring in it to stop his own life in it's tracks and dedicate it to help those in need. If only all people had in them what this man possesses, imagine how much different the world would be. Thanks for sharing this. :)
