A thought for The Holidays, What is the Meaning of our Existence?

What is the meaning of our existence? Why are we born to die? Why the suffering.
The holidays are a good time to give our brains some human-spiritual exercise. I personally don't have the answer for all the questions in life but I do know or I'm convinced we are born to keep this planet Earth going. The animals alone could not do it, besides they are here to help us. Many writings including the Genesis written by Moses or his brother Aaron, they affirm the reason for the animals and the soil we are suppose to take care, *populate and live our lives in this planet.
So we are here to keep the planet going by just living in the planet but our cells are timed for death. It's in our chromosomes and DNA. Nothing can stop the process. We could do things to rush it along but not stop it. When we die each person is done their part to keep the planet well or just the opposite, destroying themselves, others with the planet. Months if not a year or two the cells commence to die and are not being replaced like they have all or young lives. Its a smart slow procession of going to the point we can not get away, concluding with all systems stoppage when the times comes. Nothing comes in a rush or disorganized. It's a march of soldiers to destroy themselves because our bodies cannot support them can not go any longer. Maybe one day science will make our bodies double or triple but it cannot stop what already is written inside of us otherwise we would not be humans.
At that point I believe our consciousnesses will leave our body and return to the watch maker or the maker that pout our wheels together. For what, why? That I don't know I can only speak of this life and the time of death which I have watched day by day hour per hour. Through the suffering of seeing someone die, someone I love with all my heart and trying to do anything to stop death, at the end I could only watch in horror but still I was learning. My answer to my suffering was to read and get acquainted with death so I could understand why I lost my love one.
The interesting part comes after we die. Then we all learn the mystery. If you get acquainted of how the universe and the Galaxies are and how small we are and in how many places we can be after death. No, not with our perishable bodies. As we grow old we see and dislike the changes. WE all suffer from them no matter how healthy we look. We don't know when the cells hear the bell and start the death procession which will not stop even after we leave our bodies.
We are a great creation but with an expiration date, which is ok if you believe there has to be something better. If you believe there is nothing, well that is fine too. Better to believe in certain diseases such as tyrannical religions that glorify the men that build the churches and cathedrals than anything spiritual. But we are a race who needs to see, that's what Mosses told the Israelis in the dessert and because they wanted to build statues to a god who had said not to build images because then we develop love for the images. So if you believe in nothing but are not pushing people into giving up part of their lives their money to the spread of ideas they don't themselves understand.
Anybody that say where we are going is either a lier or confused. How would they know? Those that carry different religious books don't read them but have others interpret them for them. Nothing I like better than having a conversation about god or the Bible or Christ or the prophet but when I start the conversation they are empty. They are repeaters. In my life maybe there is one exception*(?) people don't know the scriptures or what they are saying but what they were ingrained in them by mixup parents or Pastors, priests rabbis or tv evangelists.
On days like this in which people believe something happened two centuries ago. So much better if they would think about what happened a million years ago. I which they would go to the Genesis with spiritual minds understanding that a day is not a day. Who invented time? We did. If we go to the moon or Mars there is no time there. And if we found a portal and traveled to a star we will discover the star already died and you did not go forward but backwards. We learn that with proof with the the 2 Space Telescopes.They even saw other things we are not privy to know, Nasa's thinking. I wonder who pay their salaries? We do.
I would say if I had a son, 'son don't concern yourself in your life with time but only to not waste it but do rush to do what you must'.
To make the answers simple, the meaning of our existence is to obey the calling and *populate the Planet , not with more humans but with better humans. Why we die? Our cells are program for it because our bodies only last 100 yrs or less. Even car tires have an expiration date.
Why the suffering? We make our suffering. We come up with diseases with accelerated dying.. Where does cancer comes from? Why the suffering? Good question. Ask that to Russia's Putin. We make the suffering we hurt and kill our selves every hour of every day.
Those answers are not difficult to understand but are difficult to grasp to our brains.
*Populate does not mean having babies, particularly those we can't afford to have and take care of.
* (There a pastor.) He was from a church in Haines City. He had thrown my partner out of the church membership because he came out. I talked to him on the phone and ask him was this the way to counsel a member who was doing something they disagree with. The Souther baptists don't counsel. They take your money, marry you, baptize you and kick you if you go stray. I ask him why Excommunicate him over the phone? He understood . We made an appointment for him to come over to the house and we could discuss my being gay and my partner. He presented his biblical side as much as he could and so did I. I learn from the experience and I understood that if he did not kick him out the church will kick him out. At that time I had started not believing in any church which I still do feel the same way. I wish we had no churches but a room in our hearts or houses to talk to any being with any name. The important thing is the connection not a human name. Anyone can connect if they are sincere. Try it sometimes and erase everything except wanting to connect to the creator. Remember if you read Marc he Calls Jesus the son of Mary, not customary. The way was the son of Joseph. There is a lot to think about that here. Hey called him that because Marc saw that. Mathew and Luke came latter and went over Marc's Writings and kinda fix it and made palatable to the masses then and now.
