I'm going to talk about life of the world in my first blog. the key words of this writing is why the world was created? This question is often asked by those who doubt that life has a significant meaning to be understood or this question also present in our mind as humans have the awareness that life is meaningfull then the question must be answered. so I think life begins from the question of human philosophy therefore it's answer is knowledge that human use to achieve life goals. then comes the next question is how to assess a correct answer so that it can be used as guiedlines to achieve the goal?
The human being was created completely with senses, mind and heart, we believe all of three have different function and complement each other. by the senses the human being can feel anything as long as the objects identified by the senses which is then interpreted by the empirism that the knowledge gained through sensory observation and not more than that. In order to understand his whole of the world the human was equiped by reason other than senses. this is because there are objects that can not be recognized by the senses, in other words objects whose existence can only be imagined and described by pure reason or logic. against this understanding of rationalism that knowledge generated from the existing understanding of logic. and the last is the heart that tends to give vibration information is called intuition.
Of the spectrum at the top there are three major groups that at first contradictory to the problem of the origin and basis of knowledge (epistemology). But after that of many philosophers who combine the three epistemologies and make a conclusion that empirical knowledge must be rational and intuitive.
This short article to give a message that the knowledge and technology produced or created humans to be humane, rather than persecute people and keep people from his residence or in other words until finally the human himself alienated strangers to him. if human was alienated by science and technology that they created then are slowly but surely the human theirself to make them as a human being will become extinct.
Conclution : this article was not answer the question of why the world was created ? but it provide clues for the reader to do something or not do anything at all. so actually to understand the life of the world not only with the senses or the mind alone, but the universe is so huge that the senses, reason and intuition are complementary to understand.
note : So I will be happy if there is some one or more to give atention to joint and discuss, give comment for this blog..! thanks..

dear Mayumi Garcia...
I am happy if this simple writing can give meaning to you. This article is actually a small part of my thesis abstract. but never mind because your question is more important to be discussed and actually the answer is not from me, but the Nature talks to you..
The world is so vast it certainly has created a true destination, and its creation a simple message to convey is that the creation of the world is not likely in vain. if the world was created not in vain it has the opposite meaning and purpose to be understood by its inhabitants. in our minds who the inhabitants of that world? whether we are only human inhabitants of this world? or there are other beings that are invisible to us like a genie or demon? embodiment of human life in the world that is life on earth we walk on. Let us as human being to research about the true destination. Before we continue this writing, where from we know that this world was created not in vain but has a reason.
Here is answer …The world was created not in vain or simply without any reason, it’s simple argument is we humans as a part of the world, each action step we did or will do, speech and mind absolutely with reason and objective terms, so if we as part of world have a reason so the whole world will have their reasons and goals. Surely the real reason and purpose which is not just conjecture or speculation. That way the whole world that actually communicate with a variety of signs that make up urgent information to be felt, known and believed.
as we all know that so far there are five senses by having different functions. The question is whether enough to understand the world with just a touch; feel; hear; smell or see it though. The answer will not be sufficient but need a ratio or reason to know and understand the certainty of objects that are recognized by our senses so as to understand the laws and rules of these objects. Well the last one needs to understand the world with confidence and it boils down to our inner conscience, reminding us that in addition to the physical body we have a spirit or soul dimension that can not be recognized by the senses and can not be known directly by the ratio but its existence is believed by our inner hearts.
Thus it is our conscience that gives us the answers to ratio questions about all the things beyond the material or physical, in terms of philosophy called metaphysics, that there is something out there that a scenario maker in a story of this world. absolutely right that the three facilities were complementary to understand the world but that was not enough until we believe there is an order from the Creator He is the Lord of Life Scenarios. Yes you’re right that The God really does not need us, but with love and affections that He created the world to demonstrate to all beings of love and affections. As lovers they are doing something beautiful or more for her lover without having to be asked and doing it sometimes have no other reason than to show his love.
The last your question is very principle of belief; I try to answer with the various questions, ranging from who the really are we? The answer is that humans created. Where are we from? The answer is from nothing into existence on this earth that our feet, yep we are nothing before we created. then now want what or to what exists in the world (earth)? And where will we go after we finished our duties in this world? Both of the last question needs the wise and true answer by long life experiences like the law of nature teaches us about cause and effect, balance and fairness. If we are good it will be good for us, if we mean the result is also in us. Nature also teaches us about justice; who planted the seed that we must reap. Who commit crimes must be prosecuted and jailed. But in this life is in fact a lot of bad people are not prosecuted and jailed, there are even people who do not do evil even jailed. There are those people many years ago raising cattle or chickens are stolen and the thief who use them. On these problems is the only heart convinced to us that justice is still there, if it does not happen in the world it will happen in another life in the hereafter referred to religious beliefs, they are Evil and missed in his world it was tried and imprisoned in the hereafter they will account for as fair, for those who do good but do not feel the benefits in the world then in the hereafter (akhirat) he will get. All this happened because of God's Mercy.
I hope my answers is not enough to you…and thank for your joining.

Yes, 'Te Anele! It's sooo deep.
I remember one of my online friend asked a similar question. If God is perfect and he doesn't need anything from us. Why did he create us? For what purpose is humans for Him. And we only speculate reasons from our own intuition and mind. Anyway it's not the topic so let's go to its shortcut.
I'll only attempt to get the gist of what I understand in what you said. You said human being has given a mind, senses and the heart to help him to reason out things around him including why life is created.
Then in conclusion, do you mean that the Universe is so vast that senses, reason and intuition aren't enough to know what lies beyond, or do you mean that these three are complementing each other to help us know for what is the Universe created for?
I'd like also to know,since we are discussing a very valuable questions in human life, personally what do you believe in? What is the purpose of life in this world, in this vast universe?
I'm happy to found a blog like this, in attempt to answer one of the vital question in life.
I think it is a very interesting topic to discuss for. I'm too curious about the answer. :)
