I must be in a philosophical mood tonight....
What is the point of life?
Is it to serve others? But if everyone must serve each other, than are we nothing more than servants?
Is it to serve ourselves? If so, for what purpose?
Is it to change the world? But once we die, we don't care whether the world has changed.
What, then, is life for?<hr size="1" /></blockquote><span class='postcolor'>
The great Zen master sat at the entrence to a cave. A young man approached and asked him, "Master, what does it all mean?"
The master answered... "Young man what is worth more, a single blade of grass or a million dollars?"
The young man answered, "The single blade of grass?"
The master answered, "What the hell are you talking about? Are you stupid? You can buy a whole field of grass with a million dollars."
The master continued, "Which is of more value, a battleship or an orange"
The young man answered "A battleship?"
The man grew angry, "YOu must be really stupid. Can you get vitimin C out of a battleship?"
Just an old parable I heard may years ago. |
