Rebirth

The soul is indestructible and eternal. It takes on new form and shape in a continuous stream of being. So then does rebirth have a meaning or even birth for that matter? Is all life one cohesive whole, just energy bound together so tightly that it begins to form tangible boundaries between things. Is there a difference between the animate and the inanimate in fact? Is life just a figment of our perception? And then what bearing does human life have upon the rest of the world? 

For man is not an ordinary life form, solely responsible for inflicting changes upon the face of this planet, that it is still reeling under, and capable of feats that were once in the domain of fairy tales. What does rebirth mean for man - a series of transformation that set him (or her) on a life altering path? A search for meaning ? Are we truly unique in that sense and do our faculties put us at an advantage over the rest of the planet or is it a burden that we must bear?

What appears to me is life is a quest, and there are innumerable questions that seek answers and very rarely does a 42 present itself to us. We are left with questions to grapple with and that's what a large part of life constitutes. 

“Ultimately, man should not ask what the meaning of his life is, but rather must recognize that it is he who is asked. In a word, each man is questioned by life; and he can only answer to life by answering for his own life; to life he can only respond by being responsible.”
