Ahhhhhhhhh jjs...you have come to the crux of this whole thread- i must now summarize my ramblings.

in my haste to contribute i can only answer numbers 1,5,6 and 7. the rest i'll save for another day since those are less clear to me now.

1.Meaning of Life: life is a journey where from birth to death we are charged with finding our identity and our purpose on this earth. it is a spiritual journey, a search for hapiness- the happiness that fills the soul and not the happiness that comes with buying a new outfit. i believe every single human being on this earth has this struggle- the search for true happiness and inner peace. without it no matter how successful or beautiful or whatever we are, we feel empty and are incomplete.

5. Defination of Love: love is sharing. sharing is caring. we share ourselves with others by helping them and listening to them. true love is unconditional so love is the unconditional sharing/helping others. total selflessness. this is the lowest common denominator for me- the love that goes accross the board (family, friends, lovers). others may want to specify but this is it for me.

6. Why am i Here: I believe i am here on this planet to figure out who i am. i think i matter. at the very least i know that i am here to possibly be of service to others, share anything i have learnt with others. i just have to figure some things out.

7. Who am i: I am working on this one...

note: i believe that there is a certain happiness that comes with helping others. i have felt it before and it had the distinct taste of being original and real. probably the kind of happiness that i am looking for.
