Is our existence in the World has any meaning ??

Is our existence in the World has any meaning ?. Are we here for the Greater Good or there is no meaning in Life ?

Sometime back, these questions were posted to us and we were encouraged to pen down our thoughts. As usual, As soon as I saw these different thoughts started originating from the mind and started flowing like a fountain but as soon as I started typing... Well, Those who know me will know what happened after !!!! However I finally managed to break the ice and wrote down my thoughts. I hope its like the tip of iceberg and more is yet to be seen (My writings, Of course !!!)
So Here it Goes.....
Everything that exists has a meaning. It can be explained absolutely or relatively by words or actions most of the times and felt in rest. A particular thing might look or make sense differently to individuals but everything that exists always has a meaning. For example, “Planet” can be explained absolutely as “any celestial body (other than comets or satellites) that revolves around a star” or as “Love” that will have different meanings to different individuals. Everything that exists or existed always has a meaning. This means our existence on this Planet has a meaning.

“Greater” is a relative term that comes out of a comparison among similar things or against a benchmark. It can not be defined in absolute terms. Any good deed when compared with another may make either one of them “Greater” based on the person who compares it but both are Good. Since meaning of Greatness depends on the individual, One’s existence on this planet can be for the “Greater Good” when (s)he tries to do more than what (s)he thinks is good. This means we; each and everyone here; intelligent or simpleton, powerful or weak; are here for the “Greater Good” and our life has meaning.

Every journey begins with the first step, every forest begin with a single seed. Similarly good deeds begin with the person himself. A candle gives light for a few feet in darkness but when you move forward with it, it ends up showing the path further. Similarly One’s good actions propagate and they bring in good actions from the persons benefited. This is when “Good” in one person achieves the “Greater good” status. It does not know any limit but spreads across. For example, Buddha’s and Gandhi’s teaching still captivate people even after they cease to exist.

I believe in whatever I said so far. For me “My existence in this planet has a meaning and I am here for the good and will try to achieve the “Greater good” based on whatever I learnt from my life. I also firmly believe in Orwell’s words; “Every creature is equal” and also the fact that “Greatness does not lies elsewhere it lies within”. Based on those beliefs, I say aloud “Yes, Our existence on this planet has a meaning and we are here for the Greater Good !!!”

... I dedicate the thoughts to my best Half and writings to Our dearest Friends "Kalai" and "Anita", without their encouragement I wouldnt have started writing ...
