Why am I alive? What is life all about? What am I here for? What should I be doing? Is there any meaning to life?

The object of a football game is to score a touchdown or field goal and to keep the other team from doing the same. Those football players know why they are on the field. They know what their purpose is, and they know what they should be doing.

The object of a basketball game is to get the ball into the basket and to prevent the other team from doing the same. Every basketball player knows this, and thus he/she plays with direction, with purpose, and with an object in mind. If you could find a person who has never seen a basketball game and were to put him in the stands to watch a game, he would not know what is going on! At first the movements would all seem meaningless. He would ask, “Why are all these people running back and forth and waving their arms and bouncing a ball?” But, as soon as he were to discover the purpose of the game, he would see that the various motions make sense!

We are all “PLAYERS” in the “GAME” of “LIFE”. It is a very serious game. There are winners, and there are losers. What is the object of this game called? It is “LIFE”!What is the purpose of it all? All kinds of people are running around, working, playing, sleeping, eating, crying, laughing and dying. Is there any meaning to all of this activity for you?
