You have either eternal life now or eternal death now.

This inquiry asks why were we put here on this planet and why our existence is here. This has been the subject of theology, science, philosophy and history. Surely, many philosophers and great thinkers proposed marvelous answers for this inquiry. The meaning of life is a concept of evil, good, conscience, happiness, ethics, freewill and so much more. The answers are different for many people due to their cultures. For example, for those of who are religious believe that the meaning of life is to serve your God and follow his rules. But different types of religions have their own responses to this question. As for science, scientists focus more on the facts and the concepts of the universe. Science also proposes answers for well-being and morality. Platonism: Plato was a fellow of Socrates and is considered as one of the most greatest philosophers of our time. Plato was widely known for his ideals and his beliefs of the universals. His Theory of Forms asks a question, "How can humans live a fulfilling, happy life in a contingent, changing world where every thing they attach themselves to can be taken away? " And the problem is, "How can the world appear to be both permanent and changing? The world we perceive through the senses seems to be always changing. The world that we perceive through the mind, using our concepts, seems to be permanent and unchanging. Which is most real and why does it appear both ways (. http://www.anselm.edu...)? " Basically, Plato suggests that the universals do not exist physically, but they exist as heavens. The main concept of Platonism is to strive to knowledge to find the meaning on life. Aristotelianism: Aristotle was Plato's apprentice. Aristotle was also a very influential philosopher. Aristotle debated that the knowledge of ethics is not a certain knowledge, meaning that it was general knowledge. Aristotle argued that a person had to study a lot in order to achieve virtue and goodwill. Aristotle defines virtuous as, "Every skill and every inquiry, and similarly, every action and choice of action, is thought to have some good as its object. This is why the good has rightly been defined as the object of all endeavor. .. Everything is done with a goal, and that goal is 'good'. " Cynicism: Antisthenes was also a fellow of Socrates. He has argued that the purpose of life is to live a life of virtue and with an agreement with nature. In order to be happy, one must be self-sufficient and one must deny pessimism because it brings negative/sad feelings. Cynicism denies wealth, power, health, and fame because it doesn't give one the ability to be free. Humans can achieve this concept by being "natural" as Antisthenes describes. Antisthenes believed that the world belongs to everyone (. http://en.wikipedia.org...). Point 1B: Religion Christianity: The central teaching of this belief comes from the messiah, Jesus Christ from the New Testament. The point of this religion is to forge salvation from God. The New Testament/Bible says that God wants to interact with humans in the current life and the future life. Christians believe that God created everything including them, but the Fall of Man caused humans to sin. In the Westminster Shorter Catechism asks a question, "What is the chief end of man? " and "What is man's main purpose? " and the answer for both is "Man's chief end is to glorify God, and enjoy him forever. " Islam: Islam's main mission is to worship Allah through the interpretation of the Qur'an and respect the prophet, Mohammad. According to the Qur'an all Muslims must believe in the Allah, his messengers, his angels and the Day of Judgement. The Qur'an describes the reason for our existence, "Blessed be he in whose hand is the kingdom, he is powerful over all things, who created death and life that he might examine which of you is best in deeds, and he is the almighty, the forgiving (. http://en.wikipedia.org...). " Point 1C: Science Science: From the perspective of science life is meaningless; it is clearly and accident, but what if there is a broader picture science could explain? The understanding of evolution has given a bigger picture of this concept, which explains that our life actually does have meaning. Well, I wouldn't start jumping to conclusions and start saying that human beings formed from animals. In order to find happiness in life we should understand psychology, specifically, positive psychology if we want to find happiness in life. Science does provide theories of the creation of life. For instance, the big bang theory, the evolution theory, panspermia, etc (. http://www.worldtransformation.com...). Point 2: Death 1. Death is enfeeble from human 2. Death is a continuation of life 3. Death is continuous 4. Death is always waiting for its victim (. http://www.uky.edu...).
