Wow what a question. I don’t really have a dream – I’m pretty cruisey – so I guess I’ve already achieved what I wanted.
The only thing missing from my life right now is having a baby, and I don’t think that’s a dream of mine, that’s just something I’d like to do. It would definitely change my life, but not in the sense of enlightenment or anything.
So I think I’m going to completely cop-out on this question and not answer it, simply because my life is pretty darn good right now
This is a highly egotistical question, and one I’ve been dwelling on the answer of for days.
I honestly don’t know what my reason for being here is. I know that I have so many opportunities in my life, both in the past and in the future, but I really cannot say why I think I’m here. My life’s purpose has not yet become evident to me.
I see myself as a very spiritual person, very Aquarian in that respect (and yes, I am actually Aquarian too!), and I’ve been told I have an old soul; I’ve shown maturity and knowledge beyond my years. My friend Mel, when discussing what witch’s tool would you say you are, said she saw me as a Book of Shadows – full of knowledge and reference. For me, this means I’ve lived before. Say what you will about reincarnation, but I am certain that it exists and I’m at least into my second round (I have bizarre deja vu from time to time – so accurate that it is sometimes scary). It’s been proven that energy never dies, so where does our spirit go (assuming that our spirit is energy) when we take our last breath?
So being that I’m at least into my second round, I wonder if this lifetime is about me learning. About learning things to pass on to my next life. If anything, I think that’s what it’s about.
There’s at least two things I can think of, but since the legalised marijuana argument has been beaten to death, I will go with Euthanasia.
Euthanasia refers to the practice of ending a life in a manner which relieves pain, suffering or a life considered less than worth living. According to the House of Lords Select Committee on Medical Ethics, the precise definition of euthanasia is “a deliberate intervention undertaken with the express intention of ending a life, to relieve intractable suffering.” ~Wikipedia
I’ve known too many instances where people have suffered through terminal illnesses, where they know they’re not going to get better; where they’ve been bedridden and hospitalised for months; where they live as vegetables. It’s not quality of life.
I don’t really know what more to say on the topic, other than if it’s my life, then I should be able to choose what happens to me. Animals who are not likely to recover are put out of their misery as soon as possible; should this not be the same for human beings?
I don’t know about hopes and dreams, since most of my short-term hopes and dreams have been achieved – I have a house, I’m married and I am living somewhat comfortably.
I guess my plans are to get rid of some debt (and I’m not talking the home and personal loans, which I pay and can’t touch again!), and to start trying for a family.
A hope I have is that Michael gets his driver’s licence too, since both of us being able to drive would give us a little more freedom. Michael goes to training 20 minutes away, three times a week, so it would be nice for him to be able to drive himself to and from training.
I can’t really think of anything else, other than the usual “lose weight”!
Oh yeah, and a photo:
