Advantages: Decide for yourself

Disadvantages: None

I decided to write a review about 'Life', although I could have placed this in any number of the 'Everything from A-Z' categories under another name. I often go over and over these thoughts in my mind and have tried to justify what they mean to a number of different people. Some are able to understand and can talk to me about what I have told them. I hope that you will think about what I write in this review and that you start asking yourself about life and what it means exactly.


Many people worship a figure that they call God, through any number of different religions. This is the person that they see as the 'creator' of the universe. They say that he was the one responsible for our world and everything within it. Christians believe that he created the world in seven days and i'm sure there are other similar variations of that philosiphy among many of the other world religions. I do not believe in any God or any creator because it is just impossible to do.


The question that I have I have always asked, is that if God created the universe and Earth, who or what created God? That is a question that is completely unanswerable. Even if somebody says that somebody was responsible for the creation of God, who created that person? Everybody must understand that our universe and everything around us is the result of great fortune. Everything came together at once and we ended up with a huge galaxy. The very fact that there is life on earth is also a fluke. The fact that we have an atmosphere, water and that we are exactly the right distance from the sun giving us just about the right amount of heat.


There is another strange question that I find myself thinking about from time to time. Please bear with me because it is rather difficult to explain and it may take you a while to get your head around it. The question is: How can I be totally sure that everyone and everything that is around me really exists? I will never know if I am living in a dreamlike state. Almost in a simulator machine. I can not get inside the mind of another person and I can only see things through my own eyes.


I think that only the things that I see and hear at any one time are actually happening or existing. For example, my family are only 'existing' when I am in their presence or can hear them. When I am looking in front of me, what's behind me will disappear until I turn around where it will all fall back into place. That may sound very bizarre but nobody can contradict that because they can't prove it without doubt. The odd thing is, that there are some things that you or nobody else will be able to prove. That is one of the strange, but fascinating things about our existence.


The final thing that I would like to say, is that I also have the feeling of deja vu on numerous occasions. I often feel that I have been in somewhere before at another time, although I have never been there before. These feelings are often linked with strong emotions and at times I get a little scared. It is a very strange feeling to have and it is difficult to understand how you experience these things. I would appreciate any comments or views on deja vu and if anybody else has had any sort of similar experiences.
