I heard a radio announcer today state their is not enough mystery in life.  This was in reference to a Bruce Springsteen song I did not catch the title of.

I am puzzled though.  For me life is an eternal mystery for which we have questions, then find answers followed by more questions and hopefully more answers.

The Purpose for Existence

The first and most basic part of human life that is difficult or impossible to understand or explain, at least with absolute confidence is the meaning of life.

That is, what is meant when we say we are living our lives.  Is there a defined purpose, can we choose any lifestyle, are goals and objectives open to our choosing or is there some commonality expected of the human race.

The Origin Story

Whether the human race evolved naturally, or was created by some powerful sentient being or as a result of the myriad of combinatory possibilities based on these core suppositions, is just not known.  I personally view it as an intriguing mystery.

The basic mystery of why a particular person was born at a specific time can be explained many ways but not proven absolutely, the mystery remains.

The question of finite or infinite life and the associated possibilities do not only fascinate me but also  I wonder if that mystery will ever be answered.

Not Enough Mystery in Life

And so the context of the radio announcers and Bruces contemplation on seeking greater mystery within our lives eludes me.

My life has an abundance of mystery for which I am truly thankful.  I believe in and of itself these mystery’s provide a solid reason to live and thrive seeking first the questions and then the answers.
