What does life mean to you and the meaning of Life?.

Pondering from  thoughts from Hazledine-Barber site:

What does life Mean?

http://poeticalleadership.blogspot.com

A question many ask and indeed search for. What does life mean to you. What is your purpose in life is the question. It has been suggested meaning was once given, handed down by our “elders and betters “. Through the ages so it has, a discipline to give order or governance across all race, colour or creed, people accepted, direction and purpose to the individuals lives their contribution within that structure was the meaning of life.. Picasso painting the agony of Spain. Charles Dickens portraying the real England promoting social change, I could write an endless list the point being the artists expression or the writers, is extensions beyond the self, through the works raising conscious awareness.

As a US President stated “Do not ask your country what it can do for you, ask what can I do for my country” in other words be responsible for yourself.

I have a saying “ABC” Action, Behaviour, Consequences. It is your action that is your behaviour therefore it is your consequence. This can be applied in any situation.

The meaning of life is within you, asking the question. We live in a world of great beauty and wealth for all to share if the conscious awareness is raised by the captains of industry/government the face of the workplace changes, social structure for the betterment of mankind. The key is self responsibility that becomes global responsibility giving the meaning to life.

Live in the question for infinite possibilities, if your attitude changes that is positive then things around you change so is the excitement and thrilling act of being human just being consciously aware.

From both sides of the Fence.

Once upon a time a gentleman faced a financial crisis of not being able to pay his bills. He began to put them in his desk draw to ignore them. However in the back of his mind a little voice questioned him “What is the right thing to do”?

Prompted to address his situation, on a monthly basis he would reach into the draw and pulled out a bill. Telephone the company he owed the debt to and say “ I will pay your bill today,you are the lucky winner of the draw.” He then telephoned all other debtors and explain there would be another draw at the end of the month and desired that they were the winners.

So it went on, the companies lived in expectation and eventually all were repaid. It was a working relationship in communication and acceptance. For the gentleman repaying his debt it was the right thing to do, and the companies accepted the effort.

Not perhaps the way to do things today, nevertheless the “What is the right thing to do?” Perhaps the answer is in communication, acceptance of what one can do, some weekly contribution until all is paid, or back to the contractual agreement of the original repayment figure.

Is it not better to get some and eventually the whole debt paid, than anger, bitterness and resentment and nothing paid  at all. ?

In reply Pondering Down Under:

The embryonic ( undeveloped world) of tomorrow is built on the bricks of today from the established knowledge of yesterday as for each days’ question there is an answer,as each answer there is a question.

Therefore the ‘cubby holes’ do not exist as things change. If the world is considered developed today, how can one presume that the tomorrow is undeveloped? And was yesterday a world developed or undeveloped if today is developed. ?

If yesterdays’ world by thinkers of the human race considered their day ‘developed’ of the tomorrow no questions would be asked.

Today the question is: Was yesterday undeveloped if today is developed. And tomorrow developing.?
