What is Your Purpose in Life?
Last week I was reading an article by Philip Zimbardo where he suggested that our school system was now obsolete. He suggested that for children of today the hierarchal system of teacher – student was unproductive and in most cases boring for the students. I don’t think that point would be challenged by to many students today.
Does this make the idea of school wrong – I don’t think so, but the existing system certainly needs to be updated a heck of a lot quicker than in the past and the old ways of thinking, what  ”WAS”Âť important must now be released a lot quicker.
In fact just yesterday I listened to a presentation by Dr. David Anderson on the physics of time travel and how there are no less than 10 methods available that show how time travel is actually possible and not to far off into the distant future. http://www.andersoninstitute.com/. It’s an exciting time for futuristic thinkers.
But then I watched a movie called “Creation” about the life of Charles Darwin and how his views of evolution were considered a negative challenge to God and the church. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Darwin Darwin’s view was that our only purpose was to exist and to evolve. Now that’s a pretty open ended comment but I guess depending on how important you think you are will determine how you choose to process it.
In any case take a moment to think about it – are you existing, evolving, focused on your past or looking to the future – what is your purpose here on earth.
In any case – Happy 4th of July.
