So let me get this straight. You lost Martin and Jauffre on the way to Cloud Ruler Temple. Now if you told them to stay put, retrace the steps you would probably have taken from the Priory to try and locate them. Check Weynon Priory and Cloud Ruler Temple (which by the way is North of Bruma and locked until Jauffre opens it and should be on you map) plus they should be riding horses. You should of gotten a quest pop up if something new happened. Check for new updates and see where your marker is pointing to. If you still have no luck, restart the campaign but save right before the pop up comes to change stuff so you can restart with the unescesary beginning, but change your stuff. Plus you will want to repeat stuff so save often.

Theologically and logically speaking, the humanity of Joshua bar Joseph of Nazareth has no impact on the existence of heaven or hell. That out of the way, the Priory of Sion that Dan Brown uses in his book is a fraud established in 1956 so a loony Frenchman could claim to be a blood descendant of J.C. The Da Vinci Code is a work of FICTION and is 7 years old already. There are tons of online websites and print articles, plus a couple documentaries, that have been produced arguing the truth or validity of the "historical facts" mentioned in the book. The "Twilight" series is fiction and there are no sparkly vampires or studly werewolves walking the Northwest US. The Harry Potter series is fiction and there are no wand-bearing wizards walking among us. Treat Dan Brown's writings as you would any fiction book. Check the links, Google is your friend (& I am agnostic)

All Answers
Answer 1
The DaVinci Code was a Novel - a book of fiction - Dan Brown wrote a great, thought provoking book using his imagination and bits and pieces of historical fact. Historical Fact - the priory of sion was created just AFTER WWII by a man whose intent was to prove that he was the royal heir to the throne of France - he falsified all the papers including the membership lists that went back to Sir Issac Newton and DaVinci. When his fraud was discovered, the priory of sion was disbanded. The Jewish faith believes in heaven and hell and also believes that Jesus is human - what you wish to believe is up to you. What Dan Brown believes isn't written about in the Da Vinci code. - again, it's a book of fiction, by definition it's all make-believe, just the same a Harry Potter, and the Wizard of Oz.

Answer 2
Yes I suppose so. I've finished all the quest and guild quests. You can kill someone's asss in the priory (a resident who's not part of any quest). But make sure to save the game before you kill them and also make sure you kill them in their house. Best time is to break and enter in their house in the night in sneak mode, so that nobody sees you and the person won't wakeup (hopefully). Again save before you break in and check bounty after you entered the house. Try reloading the game if you make a mistake in killing. Don't let them run out and call the guards. If they call the guards, reload the game and try again. If anyone sees you killing them you're in trouble. Also you should be able to kill them in sneak mode, that way your bounty wont increase. You should have good enchanted weapons to kill someone in one or two strike (in sneak mode) before they can run out and call the guards. Once they're dead (check your bounty and make sure it's still 0 ), then you can steal the house key from their body and then make it yours. put all your stuff there and you can live there. If you don't care about the bounty (as long as it's less than 500),and if you can afford to pay the thiefs guild to get rid of it, then you don't have to worry about the bounty part.

And they created a genealogy for themselves that made them direct descendants of Jesus and his supposed wife, Mary Magdalene. Brown wrote that 'truth' in the preface to this book... but IN the book, he left out the theocracy... most of the Holy Grail... some genealogy... and more in favor of a mystery involving plots... to make the Catholic church 'feminist' (Mary Magdalene)... and he involved the Knights Templar because they're a very interesting group, killed for supposed knowledge.

Best Answer
The Prieuré de Sion, translated from French to English as Priory of Sion, is the name of several groups, both real and fictitious. Historically, it refers to a fringe fraternal organization founded and dissolved in France in 1956. However, since the 1960s, it has also come to refer to a mythical secret society plotting to install the Merovingian dynasty on the thrones of France and the rest of Europe since the Middle Ages. This myth was speculated on, and popularized, by the 1982 controversial book The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail, and later claimed as factual in the preface of the 2003 conspiracy fiction novel The Da Vinci Code. After becoming a cause célèbre, the mythical Priory of Sion was exposed as a ludibrium created in 1961 by Pierre Plantard, a false pretender to the French throne. The evidence presented in support of its historical existence and activities before 1956 was discovered to have been forged and then planted in various locations around France by Plantard and his accomplices. Nevertheless, many conspiracy theorists persist in believing that the Priory of Sion is a 1000-year-old cabal which conceals a subversive secret. The Priory of Sion myth has been exhaustively debunked by journalists and scholars as one of the great hoaxes of the 20th century. However, some skeptics have expressed concern that the proliferation and popularity of books, websites and films inspired by this hoax have contributed to the problem of conspiracy theories, pseudohistory, superstition and other confusions becoming more mainstream. Others are troubled by the romantic reactionary ideology unwittingly promoted in these works.

This myth was speculated on, and popularized, by the 1982 controversial book The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail, and later claimed as factual in the preface of the 2003 conspiracy fiction novel The Da Vinci Code. André Bonhomme was one of the four founding members of the Priory of Sion in Annemasse in 1956, along with Pierre Plantard. He is tired of being harassed by inquiries about the nature of the association and doesn't want any publicity – he refuses to be interviewed on television or on radio. He doesn't understand where people get the idea that the Priory was anything other than what it was – just a small club of friends. This was the statement he made to the BBC in 1996: "The Priory of Sion doesn't exist anymore. We were never involved in any activities of a political nature. It was four friends who came together to have fun. We called ourselves the Priory of Sion because there was a mountain by the same name close-by. I haven't seen Pierre Plantard in over 20 years and I don't know what he's up to but he always had a great imagination. I don't know why people try to make such a big thing out of nothing."

First of all, Charlemagne was NOT a Merovingian. He was from the Carolingian bloodline, a dynasty that started from Pepin of Herstal. And in the book "The Da Vinci Code," Dan Brown explains that they kept their ancestry secret because the Church was trying to hunt them down and remove all evidence about Jesus's descendants. But nobody really knows if Jesus really had children, and since the Prieuré de Sion is a secret organization, nobody knows if it's real. The only Order that actually existed during the Crusades are the Knights Templar.

Unfortunately, without the media involvement she wouldn't have had the capability to make money from her singing. She doesn't appear to have learning difficulties to me. The rollercoaster ride she has been on could affect anyone who was subjected to the same experience.

I have stayed there and it is amazing. Maybe it was all meant to be?

Being in America I've only seen the clips of her shown on our news and shows like "Entertainment Tonight" and things like that. But I have thought all along, despite her voice, she probably doesn't have the disposition or personality to have a successful career. It is probably not just that she is not a beauty queen and somewhat overweight that has kept her from a show business career with her voice. I hope she gets feeling better and can make a go of it in show business. Maybe she could just record some music and not do too many personal appearances and things like that. There are perfectly good singers who record but rarely sing in public. Or maybe she could get managers or people who could help protect her. I wish her luck, but I don't know if she will really have a career.

No - it isn't real. See Wiki..... After becoming a cause célèbre in the 1980s, the mythical Priory of Sion was exposed as a ludibrium created in 1961 by Pierre Plantard, a false pretender to the French throne. The evidence presented in support of its historical existence and activities before 1956 was discovered to have been forged and then planted in various locations around France by Plantard and his accomplices. Nevertheless, many conspiracy theorists persist in believing that the Priory of Sion is a 1000-year-old influential cabal which conceals a subversive secret. The Priory of Sion myth has been exhaustively debunked by journalists and scholars as one of the great hoaxes of the 20th century

Answer 8
The Priory of Scion/Sion has elements of both reality and fiction woven within it, like any ancient order or gathering of individuals brought together for a purpose they deem necessary to secrecy. In many ways, the Priory of Sion/Scion wasn't so much about maintaining the 'secret' of the Holy Grail but acting as a bulwark against the omnipresent single-minded interpretation of fact and history as dictated by the Catholic Church. If you've read, or seen the movie, The DaVinci Code, many of the 'masters' associated with the Priory were groundbreakingly intelligent for their day, and thus were much more comfortable entertaining ideas of Jesus as a mortal man, and thus able to marry and bear children, then many around them. The Priory's main purpose was not to protect the living heirs of Jesus Christ, per se, but to protect the human legacy of Jesus Christ. If Jesus is but a temporary corporeal embodiment of God, then he really is nothing more than a fleshy mouthpiece, playing the part of the dummy sitting obediently on God's knee, and thus only 'plays' at being human. However, if Jesus was as human as you or I, then the full spectrum of human emotion and experience would have been necessary to his life in order for him to become the prime intermediary that he said he was. That means partaking of ALL human emotions, including lust, desire and love. The question of whether or not Jesus and Mary Magdalene were ever married, according to Jewish custom, is a bit besides the point, since Jesus himself said that what was important was not in the pedigree offered but the spirit. Thusly, it can be said that the spirit of marriage existed between Jesus and Mary Magdalene regardless of any actual documentation (such a 'spiritual' marriage also exists between St. Francis and St. Claire as well, and there is no evidence there that either of them took such vows.) Although Jesus probably did intend for Mary Magdalene to carry on the legacy of his church, which was a radical departure from the accepted social power structure (all the temple elders were men during Jesus' time) and thus one reason why he did intend that, the reason the church was entrusted to Peter was because Peter was more representative of whom Jesus came down here to save. Mary Magdalene wasn't the screw up, Peter was, thus entrusting the church to Peter was Jesus/God's way of saying 'Here is someone you can identify with. A flawed leader for a flawed people.' However, since the ascension of Peter affectively ushered in an extremely misogynistic and repressive period of history against women, many followers believed that turning the church, and its power, back over to the one originally intended was a way to rectify the mistakes of the past. Thus, the 'Holy Grail', the cup of salvation, was a metaphor for bringing the church back into the balance Jesus intended it to be. The 'royal blood' in question is not that of Jesus' linneage but of Jesus' marriage: if Mary is truly Jesus' wife, then she has equal power and standing in the church, and those who serve her (male or female) thus have as much a right to lead (and be counted as equals among) the church as those (male) that follow her husband. That, in essence, is the 'secret' of the Holy Grail. That is why it is a woman, in the book and movie, who is revealed to be the 'heir'. She is the 'heir' of Christ in much the same way the Samaritan is a true 'Christian' in his parable.

Best Answer
The organization in the book never existed. If you read the research on the book itself, and the contents, you'll find that the organization was made up by one man, a Frenchman, years ago, and it's never been real. "Some forged "medieval" documents, created in the 1960s, manufactured a story about a fictional Priory of Sion, a supposed thousand-year-old secret society. In actuality, it was a fictional society created in 1956, and used as part of a massive hoax in France. As part of the hoax, various "medieval" documents were forged and planted in the French National Library. Known as the "Dossiers Secrets d'Henri Lobineau", they make mention of an "Order of Sion" from the middle ages, which allegedly founded the Knights Templar. In reality, no such historical monastic order by that name existed in Jerusalem during the Crusades, and any connection with the name of Abbey of Sion is purely coincidental. There is no historical evidence whatsoever that the Abbey of Sion had any connection with the Knights Templar." The link this is from is listed below...when I read The Da Vinci Code, I researched it very extensively...and did so again when the movie was due to come out. I even went as far as to research Mary Magdalene as well!

If you read the research on the book itself, and the contents, you'll find that the organization was made up by one man, a Frenchman, years ago, and it's never been real. "Some forged "medieval" documents, created in the 1960s, manufactured a story about a fictional Priory of Sion, a supposed thousand-year-old secret society. In actuality, it was a fictional society created in 1956, and used as part of a massive hoax in France. As part of the hoax, various "medieval" documents were forged and planted in the French National Library. Known as the "Dossiers Secrets d'Henri Lobineau", they make mention of an "Order of Sion" from the middle ages, which allegedly founded the Knights Templar. In reality, no such historical monastic order by that name existed in Jerusalem during the Crusades, and any connection with the name of Abbey of Sion is purely coincidental. There is no historical evidence whatsoever that the Abbey of Sion had any connection with the Knights Templar." The link this is from is listed below...when I read The Da Vinci Code, I researched it very extensively...and did so again when the movie was due to come out. I even went as far as to research Mary Magdalene as well!

The Prieuré de Sion, usually rendered in English translation as Priory of Sion (occasionally as 'Priory of Zion'), is an alleged thousand-year-old cabal featured in various conspiracy theories, as well as being listed as a factual ancient mystery religion in the bestselling novel The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown. It has been characterized as anything from the most influential secret society in Western history to a modern Rosicrucian-esque ludibrium, but, ultimately, has been shown to be a hoax created in 1956 by Pierre Plantard, a pretender to the French throne. The evidence presented in support of its historical existence has not been considered authentic or persuasive by established historians, academics, and universities, and the evidence was later discovered to have been forged and then planted in various locations around France by Plantard and his associates. Nevertheless, many conspiracy theorists insist on the truth of the Priory's role as a powerful secret society.

Answer 1
The priory of sion was the name of the group (Leonardo Davinci, Sir Issac Newton, etc) they created that held the secret of there being descent of Jesus. The so called secret society used to hold a mating ritual where they would have sex to keep the blood line of Jesus going. So most of the members were supposed to be relative of Jesus. The story state that when Jesus died Mary Magdaline was pregnant with his baby and she kept this a secret and went into hiding then they created this group. And this book is fiction but no one really knows for sure whether this really happened or not. But never the less the book was great. Hope this helped.

Well, I'm fairly sure that you can use it as permanent storage. (Try saving, storing something, teleporting elsewhere, resting for more than 4 days, then come back and see if what you stored is still there. Obviously if it's gone, restore the saved game.) As far as the location itself is concerned, it's not very centralized, so I'd never use it as such. But, then again, my favorite storage area is the haunted mansion in Anvil, and that's *definitely* not centralized.

I would imagine that people of some celebrity were more easily welcomed into the clubs because their views on certain subjects were more widely known. If it were something that were favorable to the society, then they could ask that person to join. Also, I would imagine that people who were already members play a big part in selecting people that they know in their personal lives who would be a good fit.

Wow, these Dan Brown books shouldn't be taken any more literally than the Twilight books. The Priory of Sion myth has been exhaustively debunked by journalists and scholars as one of the great hoaxes of the 20th century Some skeptics have expressed concern that the proliferation and popularity of books, websites and films inspired by this hoax have contributed to the problem of conspiracy theories, pseudohistory and other confusions becoming more mainstream. You'd need to be Roman Catholic because the Abby of Sion was a Catholic order. Members would OPENLY practice Catholicims, while secretly practicing the more esoteric feminine form of Christianity. They don't need psychics, seers' and they do not believe in magic, they would practice secret and esoteric forms of Christianity Opus Dei is also semi secret and IS still around. You can contact them, but membership is not easily granted. There MAY exist a current secret society like that, but THEY would recruit you based on your intellegence, your piety and your willingness to do whatever they require. You would NOT contact them. It would involve a lifelong commitment and you'd have to prove you were devoted before they recruited you. If you want to attract their attention, I'd start with having stright A's at a place like Loyola, Notre Dame Fordham, Boston College, Georgetown, Marquette if youre in the US. I'd study French and Latin, mathematics and of course theology. I'd start working on extreme austereism, charity, and piety in your life. I'd also learn a martial art. You may get contacted from some wannabes at yahooQA, but they will certainly be fake. A secret society is not going to be recruiting at yahoo QA. But like I said before they might recruit out of the very pious at some of the 28 "sister colleges" in the US, and around the world

Help him, you'll be called "The Hero of Kvatch" from then onwards, and when you talk to people they'll be like "Oh...the HERO OF KVATCH, such an HONOUR to meet you!", "You're....you're the one they call the Hero of Kvatch, aren't you? You're so brave!" and so on.

How to meet people now that all the good ones are gone?

How to meet people now that all the good ones are gone?
In highschool i was fairly popular and had a lot of great friends who are great fun people. partied but kept their priories straight. well after graduation they all went off to the universities. i tried and failed at community college, im not dumb i just work well with my hands and im more interested in things of that nature. so im stuck here in my home town, a small middle-upper middle class city. all my friends who are going anywhere in life are far from home and im stuck here with the few friends who didnt do anything after high school, they dont even have jobs, just living off their parents... i worked at a grocery store but got laid off. now i am self employed. i install sound systems in peoples cars using craigslist to get my ad out there. i dont want to hang out with my buddies anymore, if we keep hanging out we wont go anywhere. but im a very social person. i cant stand sitting at home on nights like tonight. i need some new friends that are doing something with their lives! but what can i do in a small town? 20 miles from the mall and any other place for people my age to gather. im 20 and in 10 months ill be able to go to bars but i dont want to meet a bunch of party animals, i want to meet successful people. what should i do?

Pretty much hate how much of society is formed?

Pretty much hate how much of society is formed?
Today I was at my intraschool swimming carnival and I always hated that, but this year I began to further understand as I sat there and went insane. Firstly, we are put in to priories (houses/factions) and as one might guess swim against each other. Now I hate proffesional competitive sports in the first place as I find it boring and a waste of time, but the whole thing seemed overly competitive. A teacher told me "It's about building team spirit." I didn't see it that way. We're a pretty nice community as a school and we've chosen who we like and such and enjoy it, but we are forced into these groups we don't choose and forced to compete against each other. It's like if you split up a family into 2 groups and tell them to fight each other to the death. The whole thing is pointless anyway. Nobody gets anywthing for winning, which I suppose isn't too bad. But anyway, people try to force you into it and if you don't swim, you are forced to cheer. Why would I support these people I feel nothing for? I was incredibly bored and angry and we weren't even allowed to read or listen to music. I seem to have missed my point and gone overlong, but I'm sure you can make connections to society as a whole. Just very competitive, seperated and restricted basically. Why does everything have to be like this?

its the oligarchs way - divide and rule. I lived and worked for many years in a workers co-operative which is like a family - some of us were interested in trying co-operative games but some of us found them really boring and weak. pointless. Its hard to find a way through. Now I think that competition shouldn't be imposed but neither should it be denied those who want it. I have strong competitive streak but don't have any accompanying status hang ups I'd be happy to lose any game, I just like having running mates as helps me get the best out of myself and I enjoy the process of striving, along with others. I can empathise with your plight of being made to do this - basically society is based on being co-erced to do what doesn't really feel right,but there are alternative lifestyles out there if you look .

What is the meaning of life?

What is the meaning of life?
Im 13 years old and i'm in my 3rd year of Secondary school. Therefore going through puberty. I've had a history of OCD, which i attended regular sessions at the piory (a special anxiety clinic). Now im growing up and starting to ask more questions, I have a unsertanty about getting older and dieing, the dieing part which i have made myself accept beacuse its enevitable, but my worry now lies with growing up and leaving home, im a bit of a mummys boy and i love my family an awful lot (which of corse is normal) but part of me gets really upset when i think about not being young and the fact that i wont be for much longer. I dont know wether its my hourmons over reacting to the problem or its normal to feel this way. Im strangley upset over this and dont really want to go back to the priory for treatment. I do want to grow up and have kids but at the same time i dont want to leave my family and more expecially my mum, please help me out, i might just sound like a wineing kid but this has really struck a cord and would like an adults opinion. thanks guys!

Aldous Huxley’s indictment, “Most of one’s life.. is one prolonged effort to prevent thinking,” seems to fit the answers like 42 and nothing, do you want a serious answer? By the way E.W. Bullinger (died 1913) wrote 42's meaning is found in man's rejection of God and the AntiChrist. http://philologos.org/__eb-nis/13666.htm But before I start let me ask questions for you to think about... Why do you want to know if there is meaning? Why do you even care if there is an answer? What difference will it make in your life if there is one? There isn't near enough space for a complete argument but lets start. Here are my pre-conditions for the answer. 1) Yours and many others willingness to atleast question if there is one shows that there is almost a universal need for an answer. Why am I here etc. has been repeated thousands of times on here alone. 2) Some want to deny meaning because a meaningless life frees them of any responsibility and accountability to anyone but themselves but to most this rings false and hollow. Many compensate by creating a subjective meaning with no regard to if there is a higher meaning. 3) The implied and explicit implications of there being an objective meaning and purpose presents the fact there is a standard of accountability, right wrong etc. and to some this is very offensive to their lifestyle. OBSERVATIONS The atheist Aldus Huxley clearly said "I want this world not to have meaning because a meaningless world frees me to my own erotic and political pursuits.". A life without meaning is no more than chemical reactions and has no meaning, no true and false, no love and an empty hopeless end. That idea "frees" some to live the lifestyles they choose and gnaws away at the heart of most mankind who want justice, good to prevail and evil to be punished. C.S. Lewis was an atheist but after spending time with JRR Tolkien and looking at the evidence became a very strong proclaimer of Christian. He says this about life having meaning: "If the whole universe has no meaning, we should never have found out that it has no meaning: just as, if there were no light in the universe and therefore no creatures with eyes, we should never know it was dark. Dark would be without meaning." METHODOLOGY It was the philosopher Francis Bacon that said "A little philosophy inclineth man's mind to atheism; but depth in philosophy bringeth men's minds about to religion." So let's we dig past the surface and given the almost universal need for meaning, justice, hope, love, etc. then in my investigation there is the one philosophy that would best fit the heart of man as corrupt but offers the evidence and hope of justice and a changed life is Christianity. Lostness of Man http://www.rzim.org/CA/Resources/Listen/LetMyPeopleThink.aspx?archive=1&pid=1243 http://www.rzim.org/CA/Resources/Listen/LetMyPeopleThink.aspx?archive=1&pid=1249 CONCLUSIONS Given these criteria and evidences of men that were failures in so many ways and yet were greatly used by God that I see in the Bible (King David - murderer...) it implies at the simplest definition, life is a test. In this test the results are based on our relationship to God, how we serve God, did we sincerely repent of sins and accept Jesus as Lord. We must recognize that all have fallen short and sinned, have false pride etc. so we need to humble ourselves and sincerely repent and those that can't or won't are rejecting God's love and Jesus' sacrifice and will fail the test. God has provided a method of passing based solely on the sacrifice of Jesus as seen in John 3: 14-19. Only the rewards mention in the Bible for those that do pass and are as consequence of our actions, not salvation. To find a Purpose we need to find what God wants us to do with our lives. Jesus said, that He came to save the lost, as well as helping those in need (the poor, the orphans, the widows and the sick). By letting Jesus in our hearts and following Jesus we will have a "peace that the world cannot", so that we may "live more abundantly". John 10:10 "I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly" Henry Drummond talks about our relationship with God and Love in his book "The Greatest thing in the World", it is available for free online. http://www.gutenberg.org/etext/16739 If you are sincere enough in your search to read this far then finally and simply the meaning is found in worshipping God, Glorifying God, God's Love, Jesus' love and sacrifice and our love to others and that relationship. http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20Corinthians%2013:1-8;&version=31; http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%2022:37-40;&version=50; "Jesus said The problem in your life and mine is not the availability or the lack of availability of truth it is the hypocrisy in the search."

Answer 2
The Meaning of Life is Subjective. You create the "meaning" in the time that you are alive. I believe that the whole purpose of living is to create purpose and be purpose. That being said, one can only live a meaningless life if they choose not to define, and construct their Own destiny.

Each person creates his own meaning in life and it can change with time. It is hard to decide your meaning in life it all goes back to what makes you happy. So my advice do what ever makes you happy be free and decide your own life, let no one tell you there is a certain meaning in life.

Answer 5
Those thoughts and feelings are well-known to many others besides yourself, so you are not alone. The meaning of life is a difficult question to answer. It's partly the meaning you decide to give it, and part of it is only revealed to you over time and through life experience. I personally feel that we only find meaning through living life honestly and as fully as possible. Why are we here? No one really knows for sure (althoughly they'll often loudly and convincingly exclaim they do), but I believe there is a purpose for our existence, part of that purpose is to experience life in all its emotional glory and agony so we can gain wisdom and pass it on to others, as well as take it with us into the next realm of existence, whatever or wherever that might be. One thing in my life that has become certain is that worrying is not a productive pastime or conducive to happiness. It's certainly ok to question the future and harbor some concerns, but fretting about it is more or less useless and can be harmful to you. It's sometimes easier for adults to have this confidence, but if you look around you, many (if not most) do not. You will do well to heed my advice and avoid worry too much. "Know thine enemy" and "Our greatest fear is fear itself" are very old and wise sayings. Fear generally feeds on itself and is a matter of not possessing adequate knowledge about what we are afraid of. Do your best to confront your fears through constant education, self-learning, and experience. What I can also say for certain from my own experience is that if you try to keep a positive attitude and you do your best to keep faith that everything works out exactly as it is meant to, you'll be fine. It took me 40 years to learn that important lesson. The universe provides, if you let it. Just do not try to walk too narrow a path through life and keep beating your head on "doors" that will not yield. Goals are great, but so can unplanned detours and lay-bys. Keep an open mind and spirit, don't hesitate to question everything, and be unrelentingly curious. This is not to say there will be no bad or sad experiences. Just remember that even negative experiences have positive value in them. Our most important lessons are often learned through tragedy, failure or embarassment, so go boldly and fearlessly forth with the conviction that it's all good for you. The main things to remember are that if you have your health, you can rebuild your life from the worst of calamities should any befall you. Everything else is a bonus. If you don't have your health, you are at the mercy of an often cold and indifferent world. You are primarily responsible for and in control of your own health through how you live. The other important thing to remember is that you may find yourself knocked down by life on occasion and it may not be your fault, but it is 100% your own responsibility to pick yourself up and carry on. And our memory of people we love (whether they are alive or deceased) helps us to do that. The magic of memory of our mum, dad, siblings, friends and others is that we are never truly alone. Try reading some of the very short, insightful and entertaining essays on this website, particularly those under "philosophy". And this: http://www.peace.ca/kindergarten.htm Take care young friend...

Answer 6
First You may have to answer the question what is LIFE. What is life? Living organisms undergo metabolism, maintain homeostasis, possess a capacity to grow, respond to stimuli, reproduce and, through natural selection, adapt to their environment in successive generations. More complex living organisms can communicate through various means.Thus in my opinion is the meaning of life. If I am truly alive I should eat, grow, respond to stimuli, communicate, and adapt to stay alive. Why stay alive? Every living thing has an innate need to sustain its own life. Why live? Because we want to. As humans we all want to stay alive for one reason or another, according to their individual reality.

Answer 8
Every one of us, unconsciously, works out a personal philosophy of life, by which we are guided, inspired, and corrected, as time goes on. It is this philosophy by which we measure out our days, and by which we advertise to all about us the man, or woman, that we are. . . . It takes but a brief time to scent the life philosophy of anyone. It is defined in the conversation, in the look of the eye, and in the general mien of the person. It has no hiding place. It's like the perfume of the flower — unseen, but known almost instantly. It is the possession of the successful, and the happy. And it can be greatly embellished by the absorption of ideas and experiences of the useful of this earth. George MatthewAdams
