THE MEANING OF LIFE
One of my favorite books is Paramahansa Yogananda's "Man's
Eternal Quest" in which he likens the universe to a huge
"movie show"...a dream in the mind of God.
He elaborates on this contention by stating that:
"It's all entertainment"
In other words, God did not create the universe for
research and development...God already knows everything,
'else God wouldn't actually be God.
This is a great one for the pub/tavern/bar/party.
The effect can be amazing...most people have no idea
about the "meaning of life" and I've always managed to
get a group talking when I mention it.
Best icebreaker I've ever seen, short of a minor explosion.
