The purpose & meaning of life! Love, happiness & pain!!!

I read a cpl of interesting quotes and thoughts on the meaning of life that made me think about things I do and things I dont, about my friends, loved ones and my family!!! =)



Why is there something rather than nothing? We do not know. We will never know. Why? To what purpose? We do not know whether there is a purpose. But if it is true that nothing is born of nothing, the very existence of something – the world, the universe – would seem to imply that there has always been something: that being is eternal, uncreated, perhaps creator, and this is what some people call God.


Love gives meaning to our lives – as do friendship, or art or faith in God. These are factors of true happiness, of inner peace, of feelings of harmony, allowing meaning to our existence.But there is the other side. There is the cruelty of life, the pain, the evil, not to talk of death. They are the hidden tigers, ambushed and ready to attack the imprudent.

Is human life just a dream, from which we never really awake, as some great thinkers claim? Are we submerged by our feelings, by our loves and hates, by our ideas of good, bad, beautiful, awful? Are we incapable of knowing beyond those ideas and feelings?


Whether life is or is not worth the pain of being lived, or, rather, whether it is worth the pain and the pleasure of being live depends, first and foremost on one’s capacity for love.


No material object, however beautiful or valuable, can make us feel loved, because our deeper identity and true character is in the subjective nature of the mind.

What’s the good of dragging up sufferings which are over, or of being unhappy now just because you were then? (…) When troubles come to an end, the natural thing is to be glad.


When I say, then, that pleasure should be the end and aim of our lives, I do not mean the pleasures of the prodigal and the pleasures of sensuality, as we are understood to do by some through ignorance, prejudice, or wilful misrepresentation. By pleasure we mean the absence of pain in the body and of trouble in the soul.

Live joyfully with the woman whom you love the days which God has given you under the sun, for that is your portion in life.


The key to a happier world is the growth of compassion. We do not need to become religious, nor do we need to believe in an ideology. All that is necessary is for each of us to develop our good human qualities.


Without affections and subjectivity, the meaning of life would be lost, and it will only remain laws, equations, models and forms.

Will this life ever show me the happy side??

This morning, I woke up with lots of pain, and bleeding.... so i knew what was going on,so i went to the clinic,and I miscarried our baby @ 8 weeks. I'm so confused, and so sad, and so angry and everything else, that I just want to give up on everything all together. The worst thing is, I have no one to be by my side right now, but what can I do... life is brutal!At least i have my friends to keep me focused right now, and now I know what a TRUE friend means. If its not one thing then its another, there isnt much we can do, its written up there, what happens and what doesnt...... I just realized that there is no hell when we die, OUR LIFE is hell here on earth!!!!

Welcome Back America!!!

So I flew back yesterday. I had a great time in RO. While being there, we visited many villages and cities. What amazed me the most was the old buildings, castles, and the way Romania looks with the changing of the leafs colors. It was beautiful, see for yourself! I could live there, if I only knew Romanian fluent, but i guess if I stayed there longer, i would catch up on the language. I met most of Bogdi's family, they are very good people. I felt very comfortable around everyone, i guess because they are warm and made me feel like Im a part of the family. I will miss them very much, and cant wait for the next time we'll see eachother! Hereare sum pics that we took while driving, visiting the castles, and the family. Enjoy :)



While driving to Resita, we stoped in Hunedoara to check out this castle! It was under renovation, so we couldnt see sum of the parts inside the castle.




Sibiu @ night! We didnt get there till late, so had to take pics @ night!




Hey baby! look in the mirror :)






Brasov!

Dracula's Castle!!! It was amazing!

Its Almost time to go!!! :(

Ive been in RO for over a month, and enjoyed every minute of it, spent with Bogdi and his family. I have visited beautiful places here and Romania, and seen interesting things that romania offers. It makes me feel great to be here, i feel like im back home in Poland, its so similar accept nobody speaks my language! But its ok, Ive already picked up on Romanian being around Bogdan's dad and watching romanian TV! Maybe if I stayed here another month or 2, i would understand most of the language:)) We made lots of pics, but i will post them, when i come back home:))

Today Is The Day =)

In cpl of hours, ill be heading to the airport to fly to Romania to see my baby=) Im so excited, cant wait to arrive there! I hope I get there safe, but thats up to God and without any complications! Ive been waiting for this day forever, and finally its here!
