Rick C. Mason Ph.D., author, blogger, and educator, writes about issues related to maximizing human potential. Big Picture philosophy represents a worldview that recognizes and appreciates the interconnectedness of things, especially of people and concepts. Our challenge in life is to continually try to improve and become better humans. In regard to fitness, I'm interested in weight training, nutrition, and mindset necessary to build and maintain the highest level of fitness for a lifetime.
I'd like to know what you think about life in general and whether you feel that life has purpose and meaning. Why are we here? Since we are here, what should we be doing?
WOW! I am sure everyone at some point in life wonders what their purpose was for being born. That is a difficult question, but something that I would hope would be positive for human kind.
I argue that the purpose of our lives is to become better -- the best humans we can possibly be. Meaning is a bit more complicated. We all find meaning in different ways or places. It is primarily up to us to create meaning. It is only because we are conscious beings that we can do this at all. And, as far as we know, we are the only beings that can do this. We create meaning in our lives by engaging in activities that bring us and others happiness, fulfillment, and/or peace of mind.
