The way is unknown without guidance.
It is often asked in life, " what is my purpose in life, why am I here?"
And if ever there were a million dollar question, my guess is that this would be it!
We all feel driven by some force of purpose no matter how our views differ, this question will always seems to make its way back around to us at some point in our existence.

In each of these classes, humans for the most part fall into one of the eight listed above. And though some may be dogmatic about their standing position as to how they view things in this world there still remains the classic common question, “Why are we here?"
Each of us have a sense of what is right or wrong, we call it our conscience. There is no human born to life without this mechanism build inside of them. We are attracted to movies that tell the story of good vs. evil. Lord of the rings, Harry Potter, The chronicles of Narnia, and certainly my favorite, STAR WARS:
These are stories authored by humans who have a real sence of good vs. evil or right vs. wrong. And for the most part, it is identified by advent movie goers or book readers all over the globe taken in millions of dollars in sales by people like you. See just how far you get on this planet without coming into contact with a person who has not been acquainted with at least one of these stories, if not all of them.
My point is simple, we are fully aware of the difference between right and wrong, good and evil, darkness and light. Though some might take offence and declare, “I live by what is true to me!" why? Because "Truth" is relative right? Isn't that what we are taught now days? Though this teaching is as old as time its self, it would seem that it is also most deceiving toward the human who chooses to accept it.
Funny, the word chooses or choice strongly comes into play at this point. Although one might make a choice to view truth as relative, a common deception. Truth will never conform to any one man’s point of view, no more than a monkey will turn into a human. Oh I do apologies; I wasn't trying to offend you Darwinians or big bangest. No NO NO! I was simply drawing out a point that you got in the way of. That is that truth as it is, stands apart from our opinions it is human choice that is relative.
You see we humans make choices based on our view points or opinions, whereas truth stands outside of all that. Just because you choose to call something the truth doesn't make it so. The truth can only agree or disagree with your choice. Follow me closely here; let’s just say 10 people woke up on one September morning. Looking into their lives we see an entire contrast of view points and opinions. As they begin to make their selected choices for planning of their day, we note.
Clair has to run each of her kids around after work; peter has a delightful lunch date with Cindy who works in the office to floors down. Michael has to work late because he's sucking up to the boss for partner. Susan’s going shopping to by that dress for the party Friday night, while chuck is considering what movie to pick up on the way home from work.
Nick was given some great advise about his marriage, that if you cheat on your wife its better than divorce. So now this morning he's pumped up enough to go after the girl he really wants, Jessica who doesn't believe it wrong to date rich married men as long as she gets what she wants. Tommy is praying and spending the morning devotion with his god of choice, he's 6 months sober now. Good for him!
Mary has a dinner engagement with her husband this evening; she wants to be at her very best. She has put a lot into this night and she is planning that all will go smooth.
So there they all are this morning planning out their perspective day, each one with their own thoughts, views, opinions and beliefs. Each one has his or her day planed, dressed and ready for work this nice September morning. Each person having their own style to fit what is true to them about life. Yet oddly enough, little did they know that this day they would share one common truth with everyone working at the twin towers on the higher floors in either building.
For that day September 11, 2001 they all died from the hands of terrorist, who were on a quest to fulfill a supposed truth of their own. At that point it didn't matter what they choose to believe in, death was a certain truth that they all would sarcoma to.
Thus truth could never be relative for if one choose not believe in death, he could just simply declare “Death is not what I believe" however this is certainly not the case. Of cores one could make the choice not to acknowledge death, but only the choice would be relative. Not truth!
None of us like reliving that frightful day, but I needed to make a very sound and important point before we continue.
Because we can clearly see that truth is not relative, no not in the least. But where is the proof to support the relativity of truth?
It is found inside each human’s ability to know right from wrong. That is our own conscience gives proof that truth is not relative. I don’t care where you go on earth from big city, to small hut in the desert, People are born having a since of right and wrong.
This thing born unto human beings is there permanently it can never be destroyed, it can only be suppressed. So far down into the subconscious of the mortal man that he can in no way express that it was even there.
