The Meaning of Life with Dr. Bob

I was looking at the tweets from Twitter having something to do with the meaning of life.  Many dozens of folks mention or ask the direct question, “What is the meaning of life?” everyday on Twitter.

There are events and circumstances in life that we regard as good or evil. Many philosophers and gurus want us to consider all events as neither good nor bad. They insist that all events are neutral and we give them their connotation.

But, I think, for the average person this is a difficult task. When one is caught in the throws of what most everyone would call evil, persons cringe. In other words, how to help these folks as they are on their way to enlightenment. We are not all at the same level of insight.

As we work our way deeper into the Core of our beings, the Center where all is calm, how shall we deal with evil? Good, of course, is simply accepted and rejoiced in. But what of evil? Here is an answer.

In a Universe that is free, what some call bad things will happen. What some people call bad people will happen. Events or people choose to think that they must do what others call evil. Greatest example, perhaps: Adolf Hitler. He developed a plan to make certain persons superior to all others. He evolved a design that would eliminate those he saw as a problem. The point is, he believed he was correct. He found people who agreed with him. They set the plans in motion. At first he couldn’t be stopped.

It’s not that the Universe turned a blind-eye, by the way. There is operative in the Universe a mechanism called Karma. Karma basically means that what one does sets up a momentum that will flow back upon you. This is called, sometimes, “consequences.” Whatever one does, there are consequences.

When something bad is happening in your life, as you see it, that’s the very time you need to consider karma for both yourself and everyone and everything involved in the event. The first thing you need to realize is that there will be consequences for whoever perpetrated this negative upon you.

Then you need to try to make sure you do not retaliate in kind. You want your karma to be good. Defend yourself, for sure. Protect your life and property, if need be. Protect the lives of your loved ones, absolutely. But do not be the cause of evil yourself. (Defending your life, even if it results in the death of the one attacking you, is not evil, in my view.)

Deal with evil in the best way you can. Try to preserve your own good karma. (For some this answer will seem very simplistic. Not enough meat on the bones. That may well be true, but not everyone is at the same level of grace.) Small steps first. Till that day when you can see all events as neutral and you know yourself free to choose how to label them.

When you uphold your own good karma, you are reaffirming the meaning of life, which is to be happy.
