Now, let me get to conclusions, question by question.

First, Question 1.
Question 1- What is the secret of life? What is the one thing, one secret, a golden rule that can help humans live better?

This question wanted to get our one critical answer, one quote maybe, one rule, code of conduct or anything of the sorts which people follow. The purpose of this question was I was curious what things people believe mostly in. Some people do not have such a secret, or such a code, therefore they probably had to think before answering this question. Some other people meanwhile had already known the answers, because they strictly follow them, and therefore were able to answer the question. And those who do follow them, probably mean that it works for them.

As many people suggested, happiness was their answer here. They suggested that man needs to find happiness in every single thing he does. We need to find happiness in every slight action. We need to make the most out of everything, we need to take everything positively. Turn every sorrow into joy, find pleasure in pain, find beauty where it does not exist. Create your life. However simple it may be, it is very effective. If man wishes to be happy, and have a happy life, why not find this happiness in every action of ours.

The answers to this question were very interesting.
CobraAn suggested “treat others as you want to be treated”, which I agree with.
Ahsan said “Never take decisions while angry”, which I also agree with, and have many negative experiences with.

Thedillpickl basically said everyone is born equal, which I also agree with. Every soul, every human on the planet has been born equal. Everybody is the same child moments after his birth. Everybody has the same mental capabilities. Everybody has the same amount of potential, everybody has unlimited possibilities in front of them. But that is before society steps in, before anything affects him, before there are any actual things that affect the person. Everything that happens afterwards is the sum of what the person has been given, and what he chooses to do with it. Every person in the world is able to achieve everything that anyone can ever do. Its our circumstances that bring in the change.


Now the second question,
Question 2- What is the meaning of life? What are humans supposed to make from our lives?

Interestingly enough, this question had many different answers, which were quite amusing.
One of my favorites one was by FreeGigi “to be remembered”, which was similar to N4zGuL’s answer, that is one real goal to live for. Nobody wants to live an empty life, where he wakes up, goes to work, comes back, repeats for years then finally dies. The goal of life should be to achieve something, to do something. To make our name echo through the years, to accomplish such a deed that people remember us for, to keep your legacy alive. But then again, you’re just on a spaceship flying through space, who will know your legacy? People on Earth? On a large enough scale, we’re not even an atom in the ocean. Only Earthlings care about legacies and history, what about life outside these 7 billion people? What after these people die and the Earth reaches its age of death? The traces of any Earth will be erased from the universe, and we will be as if we never existed. The names of Muhammad, Gandhi, Buddha, Xerxes and every human that existed will be lost. Nobody will remember you. You will be stardust back again.

But then again, if you believe in God, your theory on this must be very different, as is mine.

Other answers I liked were the ones by l a n e r o n, Bhane, MirceaDrac, omg_87 and Skenerbeuu.


Off to the third question,
Question 3- What are we supposed to do in our lives? What are the things we should try to achieve the most?

In here, I specifically liked l a n e r o n’s answer, how he mentioned we should try to keep ourselves happy first, then make other people happy. Whilst keeping other people happy, some forget their own lives and make themselves miserable, sometimes not because of choice. But the main answer I believe here was that we should just live life to the fullest. That is what every person should choose to achieve. Living life to the fullest, living without regrets, living every moment as if it is your last. That is the point of human life. If you don’t live it to the fullest, you are better off dead. You have an unbelievable potential, why not fulfill it?
Why let procrastination and laziness get in the way? Why hide behind excuses? Why not do what you can, you want to, and you are most certainly halfway to do already because you have a will to do it? Everybody lives only once, there will never be a life after this one. This is the only time you are going to be alive, you will never be in the time and place you are now.
You will never exist again like you do now. You will never be as beautiful as you are, you are mortal, and that is what is amazing about everyone of us. I think that is what matters, but maybe I’m stupid. Maybe I can not comprehend what happens around us.
These are all answers for you to decide. You write the answers, you are the writer of your book of life.



Off to the fourth question,
Question 4- Do you believe aliens exist?

Now this is a very interesting question. I read that according to a survey in 2012 only one third of Americans believe in aliens, while the results of my survey were differing.
Out of all the answers, a total of 19 gave a complete yes.
3 of the answers I received were confused, as they were not sure.
2 of the answers I was not able to understand what they wanted to say.
While only 2 said no.
That shows a staggering figure, that only 2 out of 25 people said a complete no.
The most interesting answer I found was the one by NWG where he quoted a movie:

"You know, there are four hundred billion stars out there, just in our galaxy alone. If only one out of a million of those had planets, and just of out of a million of those had life, and just one out of a million of those had intelligent life; there would be literally millions of civilizations out there" And "I'll tell you one thing about the universe, though. The universe is a pretty big place. It's bigger than anything anyone has ever dreamed of before. So if it's just us... seems like an awful waste of space. Right?"

This answer makes complete sense. Although what we have no idea of at the moment is what kind of life, where, how much life, or actually we have no idea about anything. We just believe they exist, because logically, they do. The question is, will we ever find out for sure? We can only hope.




The final and 5th question was asking people their beliefs about God.
Question 5- Do you believe God exists?

As you can see, there were many different answers to this question. The beliefs of people have started to change, and people are getting out of the stuck to “what my family believes” culture. Nobody can define God. Is he a person? Is he an entity? What is God?
On this particular note, I like the approach of Sufism the most. It is a belief, that God is so powerful, omnipotent and omnipresent that everything which exists in the universe is God. Nothing has the power of existing other than God. He is everywhere. He is everything, he is us humans, he is the trees, the ground, the birds, the mountains. Nothing else has the power to exist but him. Sufis are one of the most spiritually powerful people you will ever meet, and my personal experiences with a few of them are nothing short of mind boggling.

But then, many might call this blasphemy. Many other people believe a certain God exists up there, but nobody knows who, where or why. They don’t know the reasons. They want to believe there is a higher entity, but have no idea what he wants from us. They don’t want to follow a religion, they just believe God exists and wants us to do good on Earth. I, personally, believe this is a little hypocritic. But then again, hypocrisy runs in our blood, or maybe I’m wrong.


What can we conclude from this?
Everything that exists, our universe, our God, our faiths, our lives and our goals, every possibility that is there, everything is just in our mind. Everything is only a game of the mind. We gain power over this brain of ours, and we can manage to do amazing things. Everything is only inside our head. We know only what our eyes show us and what our ears hear for us, everything that exists is based upon our experiences and upon the fact what our mind thinks. What if all this is only an illusion?
Our only true weapon, instrument, tool is our mind, our brain, and it is powerful beyond imagination.
But maybe I'm wrong.

Sorry, but I’m sleepy now.
