For what reason do we ____ ?
This is a question that cannot be explained logically by any of us. We may insist that we live because of wealth, power, family, freedom or friends. After death, however, these things become nothing. These things dis-exist anymore. Then the final answer to the ultimately unanswerable question is : we live because we are alive. We can think about aliens living on Mars, smell the forget-me-nots in the garden, or goto movies with a girl friends.
We can feel positive emotions by enjoying what confronts us. In this sense, we live through Carpe diem. Since we can enjoy, we live. In the world of chemistry, when we are enjoying something a hormone called "endolphin" is secreted by the thyroid and we are motivated to keep living. We are alive and we enjoy our lives.
It is perfectly useless to carry out the search for the perfect answer for that ultimately mysterious problem-unless you want to become a god. From my point of view, though it may sound comical, one who figures out the truth of life is the one who becomes god-like: a Buddah, a Jesus, a Gong Ja or a Noja. Not wanting to become a god, we just can live our life without thinking of the origin of life. We even can acquire help from reading the doctrine of theses omnipotent's. I, however do not believe in gods but believe in myself. I live my life by myself. I am, now, is the pioneer of a new truth without being hindered by any other truth.
