The Dismal Science and the Meaning of Life

Supply and demand is as basic and Nobel a
Truth
As you can get.
If you doubt, just hold your breath a minute
And notice the urgency that quickly builds.

Somehow in man’s quest for meaning
Aka the creation of religion, or “dharma”,
The sacred and the secular
Became

Life

Life doesn't belong to any of us
It passes by, 
unfathomable 
It flows through our fingertips
Encapsulates us, satiates our spirits
Graces us with swollen ankles
And delicate skin prone to wrinkles

The Meaning of Life 

Monty Python got it right:
The meaning of life
Has nothing to do with hats.

It has to do with a conscious appreciation
Cultivated in this life, for this life
With all the particulars it offers.

It’s not a given,
Which is why it must be found,
And once found cherished.

The

Meaning of Life

The meaning of Life,
      To touch, to feel, to see
      To know without shadows or doubt, 
      One's own immortality.

Life is the kindergarten of the Cosmos;
       A proving ground for worth.

In the search for the meaning of life, we are born in the shadow of conscious death,
An echo of the spirit, of our introspective and questioning gaze,
Under the weight of the end, we weave religions and philosophies like spider webs,
In which the thread of our life extends, like the light of a falling star.
But the

The Meaning of Life

There is a 
Simple 
Tragedy
To Everything.

And a 
Beautiful
Sadness
 to 
It All.

That's How
Blissful
Ignorance
Can Be.

A Brush Stroke,
A Pixel,
An Emission of Light:

A Fancy

In Spite 
Of the

Art.

Meaning of Life

Lonely pearl what troubles you
Is it the clam within you grew
Dont forget you'll shine so bright
Dont forget you'll be harvested at night

Flimsy string what is the issue
Is it the clams that now are due
Dont forget you're not on the menu
Dont forget that you've got no value

Little human where's the problem
Isn't it you so gruesome
Dont forget

The meaning of life is to serve Christ,
no greater calling has ever sufficed.
To have a charitable heart on earth,
pleases our Savior with our soul's
loving rebirth.
This is the meaning of life-
coexist without strife,
to speak of Him, His Word,
doing good with our souls stirred. ~

Premium MemberThe True Meaning of Life

In the overall scheme of things
What matters most in life
It's the love of another human being
The total commitment between two hearts
That indescribable connection
When you recognize that someone is very special
Of all the people we rub elbows with
During our too short a time on earth
One who stands out head and shoulders above the rest
One to share

Like playing on the field
Hopes and dreams, dramas
Lived out – in breathless moments,
Silence creating intriguing promises,
This is life – like the show, theater
Performances, the series that assures
I’ll come back for more – life’s roar,
The aching of a heart who longs for paradise,
Heavenly shores, where there is more…

Love, like the key to inspiring
Hope, like the crucial

To play well this inning, meaning of life

Lost in life’s mundane,
A man moans: can one explain
To me life’s meaning?
Till you play well this inning,
You’ll keep asking for meaning.
