Questions and Answers (Part 3) : The Core of Existence

Questions and Answers (Part 3) : The Core of Existence


If you want to know why things, including you and Life exist, try answering the following questions; and the core of existence shall be revealed to you.

1) What do you expect?

2) What are you going to do about it?

3) What can you learn form it?

Note : Existence is not just about life, but also about problems in our lives, people, illnesses, what's happening in the world etc etc etc.

Avoid reading or taking things too literally, intellectually and scholarly.

Learn to look at things as a whole.

Enjoy!
