Why are we here? "The Meaning of life"
Why are we here? "The Meaning of life"

Ultimately the most important question of all...

The writer Maya Angelou said:

"Since age two I've been waltzing up and down with the question of life's meaning. And I am obliged to report that the answer changes from week to week. When I know the answer, I know it absolutely; as soon as I know that I know it, I know that I know nothing. About 70 percent of the time my conclusion is that there is a grand design. I believe that the force that created life is betting that human beings will do something quite wonderful--like live up to their potential. I am influenced largely by Blaise Pascal and his wager. Pascal advises us to bet on the toss of a coin that God is. If we win, we win eternity. If we lose, we lose nothing.
I'm looking out a large window now and I see about 40 dogwood and maple and oak and locust trees and the light is on some of the leaves and it's so beautiful. Sometimes I'm overcome with gratitude at such sights and feel that each of us has a responsibility for being alive: one responsibility to creation, of which we are a part, another to the creator--a debt we repay by trying to extend our areas of comprehension."

What do you think? Have you heard any other quotes. Why are we here?

One word

What one word does the following describe:

It’s greater than God,

More evil than the devil,

Rich people need it,

Poor people have it,

And if you eat it, you will die.

Fact: 80% of the Kindergartners polled go it, only 17 % of the Stanford Graduates polled got it.

For its brevity, its simplicity, and its difficulty, this problem has some claim to be the best lateral thinking problem ever.

A man walked into a bar and asked the barman for a glass of water. They had never met before. The barman pulled a gun from under the counter and pointed it at the man. The man said “Thank you” and walked out. Why should this be so?

The single statement

An explorer was captured by a tribe whose chief decided the man should die. The chief was a very logical man and gave the explorer a choice. The explorer was to make a single statement. If it were true, he would be thrown over a high cliff. If it were false, he would be eaten by lions.

What statement did the clever explorer make that forced the chief to let him go?

Prison? Nope.

A man was to be sentenced and the judge told him, "You may make a statement. If it is true, I'll sentence you to 4 years in prison. If it is false, I'll sentence you to 6 years in prison." After the man made his statement, the judge let him go free. What did the man say?

A true case of my missing keys

I drove my car home and went inside the house. A few hours later I discovered I could not find my keys. Since the car was in the yard 20 feet from the house, I knew they were either in the house or within 20 feet of the house and would be easy to find. However, this was not the case because when I was looking for them inside the house, they were outside and when looking outside, they were inside the house. After hours of looking for them, it was only when I was neither inside nor outside the house I found them. How could this be?
