What is our meaning? What is our significance? We as people can do many things that define us and have great significance. I wonder what our generation's significance is, what our great fight is, what our meaning is in pages of history. The generation from the 1940's had WWII, 1950's had the Cold War and the baby boomers, 1960's had Vietnam and hippies, etc. Everyday, we continue to do things that shape what our meaning is. Every action we take helps define our significance, every decision has an effect.
All of us our looking for our purpose in life, our meaning. One of the most mind boggling questions is what the meaning of life is. What is the meaning of our lives? I think the drive that pushes everyone to go to college is to find that purpose, why when we go and change things in our lives, it to find our meaning. Having a purpose to life is one of the things that people most often go and look for.
Personally, I believe that our meaning in life, by “our” I mean the whole human race, is to further advance our race. What I mean is that every person should attempt to reproduce and keep human beings alive and not allow for us to die off and to create new technology to help humans and the planet as well as keep us healthy through medicine and fix the environment. That is our overall purpose, but every individual is looking for their own special meaning to life, that purpose that we all seek to have our lives have meaning.

God in 2010
God in the year 2010 is a symbol of hate and intolerance. What I mean is this, we watch the news and listen to Christians denounce homosexuals and Muslims, and claim that all their ranting is for the glory of God and that they know exactly what God wants and God clearly doesn't like gays or Muslims. That is only one example, another is when terrorists claim that God wants them to kill dozens of people or destroy America. God is suppose to be the divine being who humans can pray to, have hope in, and rely on in times of trouble. God and what God is suppose to be about has been perverted to an extreme level.
Hearing stories from the Bible and listening about the mercy and love of God is what I think of when I think of God. But this God that people are claiming is supportive of hate and killing is unfamiliar to me. Muslims, Christians, and Jews all belive in the same God but they have different theologies and rituals. God is the constant, God is the uniter, but in 2010, God is the biggest divider. God is no longer the symbol of love, God is the symbol of destruction because everytime there is a tragedy or catastrophy, it is God's doing. God has been reduced to what people say God is, changing and distorted by man. In 2010, God is a lie.
