Your an oldie and you cant face up to the new inventions of the world.

Because you have a 30,000 B.C. model brain, molded by a 19th-century education system, and you're trying to deal with a 21st-century world. It's little wonder that many of us are confused....:-P....

Probably because life as a whole is rationally irrational. Biologically the whole point of life is to survive, as a species. But there is no defined end-game or goal, the goal is simply to exist, and it's ongoing. We have developed this ability to see our own demise and it haunts us. The idea of there not being a concrete goal to reach with our finite lives is rather confusing to us, so we create things like religion to give us a reason to live, pretending that we may die, but we live on so don't worry about it. Society and everything it entails, including interactions with other people and groups of people, relationships, jobs/careers, material things, etc, is all superfluous to the true goal of life, which is simply to exist for as long as you can to create new generations that can exist for longer then the previous one. It's so simple and impersonal to us, that most people cannot accept it. Many people fail to realize this, and proclaim incorrect or inaccurate reasons for life, and are left unsatisfied, confused, or afraid.

It's a puzzle!

Join the club I am in a perpetual state of confusion.:)

It enjoys watching you run around in circles over and over and over again.

Life IS complex, that's not your imagination. There's you and others, and trying to figure out how to survive, and finding love, and trying to work out the meaning of it all, and cars and planes and trains and schedules and birds and bees and that inexplicable way the grain of the wood reverses suddenly for no reason in the coffee table. There's just so much STUFF!! We have minds that love concepts and abstractions and structure, so what do we do? We ORGANIZE it all... we take Fluffy and Fido, and we classify them as Cat and Dog, and then we create a bigger classification called "Animal", and we dump them both into that, then we make an even bigger class called "Thing", and dump the animals into it, and add planes and trains, the birds and bees, and even the woodgrain reversal into it. There! Neat little package! Everything is just different forms of "stuff"! Cool! Except... it's not satisfying. There's something about having a world full of stuff that just doesn't do it for us... what's missing is WHOLENESS... that sense or experience of unity, that clarity or understanding that somehow all this stuff fits together somehow, that it's not just a bunch of random items on a taxonomic tree. So that's the problem religion tries to solve: where to get the wholeness from? The most common solution is to suppose a sort of "glue" to bind it all together, to make it all One, and normally we call that glue God. This isn't an essay on the existence of God, it's about the problem that the idea of God solves: fragmentation, separateness. Spirituality is about solving this problem, the most common solution is a belief in God, but that is NOT the only way to solve the fragmentation problem. Your job is to work on that problem, if you want to get deconfused.
