Finally The Answer To Life, The Universe, & Everything | Must Read!!
It’s not every day you discover the meaning of life whilst staring at trading graphs on an exchange. I thought I had already figured it out over many long nights and years of deep and meaningful discussions with my school friends. Actually I didn’t really discover the meaning of life, It just sort of happened!
So there I was reading the graphs, and a few really normal and simple thoughts passed through my mind. I was trying to understand how this whole Cryptocurrency thing worked exactly and what everything meant. I was new at trading on exchanges, but had been studying hard on YouTube and learning how to read candles and trends and such things. I seemed to have figured it out! At least well enough that I was able to place buy and sell orders without fear of totally messing it up and giving away all my money! How easily can that happen! I was looking at the Bitcoin Vs USD Tether Chart. Things we’re looking good! I could see lots of happy looking green candles with up trending wicks, and overall it just seemed to keep rising week on week, despite people saying it probably has hit a very strong resistance level. I was very happy as a newbie trader and was gaining more and more confidence in the whole Cryptocurrency world as I continued to trade and also learn about all the Alt Coins.
I had already learned about Ethereum (ETH), and had a few of them. The more I read about ETH, the more I was becoming an Ethereum fan. I could see the great potential, and what was happening in the news with ETH was too great to ignore … It was time to buy some more ETH! So I swapped my chart to the Bitcoin Vs Ethereum chart. This was one of the first times I had bought ETH on the exchange markets. I didn’t really understand the fundamentals of how all this trading worked and wasn’t used to dealing with other Crypto Currencies. Until that time, I was very familiar with viewing the value of Bitcoin against the Dollar. Those numbers made sense to me and I knew what they meant. But now I was viewing the rate of Bitcoin against Ethereum and the numbers all looked very different! I noticed this and thought, Oh I don’t really know what these numbers mean now. Up until now I’ve been valuing bitcoin against the dollar. I had thought that I had been valuing the Bitcoin itself by saying it was worth 1,200 USD. But no suddenly I realized that actually I was viewing the rate of Bitcoin against the Dollar and that number only made sense against the dollar. So I said to myself, OK now this is what Bitcoin is worth against Ethereum then.. It’s a different value, because It’s pitched against a different currency so that makes sense, Ill just have to get used to these new values.
So whilst digesting this new graph and looking how ETH was performing, which was also REALLY well, I had another thought. I thought to myself, SO… THEN CAME THE IMPORTANT QUESTION!
What is Bitcoin worth on its own then?
At first this question didn’t make much sense to me. I couldn’t seem to wrap my head around the value of Bitcoin without having the Dollar or Ethereum to compare it to. Then out of nowhere the number 1 popped into my head. YES, 1. The value of Bitcoin on its own is 1. Logically speaking 1 Bitcoin = 1 Bitcoin so that made sense even if it seemed pointless to do so. Then I thought some more about it as something felt weird or incomplete about it. I thought to myself, what if the value of Bitcoin doubled!? What would it be worth then? My brain motors churned away and the bell rang. The answer was again 1. It seemed to make sense that even when Bitcoin doubled it was still worth 1, because 1 Bitcoin is always worth 1 Bitcoin. Now two questions came to my mind. One was whether I could even value Bitcoin on its own, and the other was whether it could even double. If its value is still one then it can’t double can it?! It seemed like there was nothing even to double if there was nothing else to compare it to. Whatever happened, logically speaking, the value of Bitcoin would always be the same, even if it changed!!?!
What an unlikely and strange paradox?! What was going on!? How could this be? Is this actually true, or the result of over logical thinking? Then I was quiet for a bit. I just left that thought for a while and closed the computer. I couldn’t seem to really get past this realisation or know what it meant. It was now 17:30 and time for me to do my Qi Gong practice that I have recently been getting into. I had been trying to get into a good daily routine for a long time, and now I had finally managed to get into the habit of doing it twice a day. Even to the extent that I can close my computer and stop trading to do it! Now there’s progress! After I finished my 25 minute routine I then made myself sit for 10 minutes. I either meditate, or I try to meditate. Either way I make myself sit and at the very least listen to my thoughts. The Qi Gong session was really nice, and I had gotten into it more than usual this time. I was feeling really calm and my mind was pretty quiet for once, enough that I could feel some space around me! So whilst I was sitting like that, the next thought came to me!
This is why you were created!
This is why you are here!
This is the meaning of life!!!
Huh? I got the answer before I really understood the question properly. Very quickly then it revealed itself to me. The Universe was created so that the ‘Supreme 1’ could learn to value itself and evolve. If we didn’t have all the different people, views, opinions, religions, ideas, and cultures that we have, then there would be no way for the ‘Supreme 1’ to know itself. There would be nothing to compare itself to, since there would be only 1 and always 1. The ‘Supreme 1’ could not grow or even know itself without creating the myriad of life that we see and know today.
WOW!
I had to let that sink in a bit It’s really true! It really made perfect sense. It allowed me a feeling of acceptance of everything that happens, in a way that I hadn’t felt before. It gave me this beautiful view of the world form a perspective I had never had before.
If I was alone in this world I would be nothing. It is only with you here to share and compare my life with, that my life has any meaning or value at all. Therefore, I should accept all the things in this world, even the things I don’t like, because without them I would be nothing, or 1!
The Universe is a great mystery.
So is our mind!
Where DO our thoughts come from!
Om.
Hi, best friend. you forgot me. I give flag you a present for in the life.

Your pictures copyright. Video and pictures copyright. Don't voting for @eco-alex dog.
Your logic is shame let me explain why .If you born live die and you think that u can compare yourself to God i think that u are an athesit or idot.Look closly to your body how perfect it's build and to say that point of life is that God needs this and that let me tell you that God don't need to compare himself to nobady cuz he is the greatest.I will give you an example what is the point of life :
You did not earn the privilege to be in earth that was a gift from God to you me and other 7 bilion humans in earth.If you help someone is a good thing but is not a point a direction in life let me explain why? If you are on a train and you are going to collage and in your way you give your seat to an old women that is a help but that is not your point your point is collage .So for you me an other 7 billion humans helping others is good thing but not the point of life the point of life is to use our time here to win the afterlife paradise or (jannah in arabic langauge).Eternity
Thats a beautiful reply. I dont agree totally but thank you for sharing!
Chelsea, I am sensitive to the fact that we have different opinions about G-d and who G-d is and who we are. Because of that I didn't mention his name, to try to avoid upsetting anyone. In my religion for example, we shouldn't even really write or type G-d's name in full!
Why we shouldn't write God? If you say the truth no matter what you should speak even if somebody will be upset.I could say to somebody pace bro and somone who hate that person can be upsett i don't care why he is upsett.I think that we are obligated to say the truth.
well the reason is that some in the Jewish tradition believe the following:
"We do not write G‑d's name in a place where it may be discarded or erased. Treating G‑d's name with reverence is a way to give respect to G‑d. So even though on a computer the name is not really being erased (and perhaps is not really there in the first place), and "G‑d" is only an English term used to translate G‑d's holy name, it is in keeping with this respect that I write "G‑d" in my emails and on-line articles."
(Source : http://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/166899/jewish/Why-Dont-You-Spell-Out-G-ds-Name.htm)
So you are saying that u respect God so u don't write his name in places who can be erased can u give me an answer about this . If you say that u respect God more than us why did u break the "Sabbath" look what God says about that in Quran 2:62. Those who believe, and those who are
Jewish, and the Christians, and the Sabeans—any
who believe in God and the Last
Day, and act righteously—will have their
reward with their Lord—they have nothing
to fear, nor will they grieve.
63 . And recall when We received a pledge
from you, and raised the Mount above
you: “Take what We have given you earnestly,
and remember what is in it, that
you may attain righteousness.”
64 . But after that you turned away. Were it
not for God’s grace and mercy towards
you, you would have been among the losers.
65 . And you surely knew those of you who
violated the Sabbath. We said to them, “Be
despicable apes!”
66 . Thus We made it a deterrent for their
generation, and for subsequent generations,
and a lesson for the righteous.
oh my g-d
lets not talk
i never said i respect g-d more than you!?
i dont want to discuss this with you anymore . im sorry this doesn't feel right now.
im afraid im not a religious person. I am deeply spiritual. SO i m afraid i dont even know what you are talking about. Save your energies please and read something that inspires you. I wasnt comparing us at all when i made that comment about not writing G-d it was just a seperate point.
