What is the true nature of life, define it?
The true nature of life is to live loving God and my fellow man. This question and any answer to it, however, has meaning only for a person who speaks and understands words within a given system, in my case, within Christianity. In the postmodernist world we live in, we cannot reach a consensus on what words mean without the context of the system we refer to. I cannot convince you that you can arrive at this meaning by reason alone, or by biblically demonstrable actions. Each of us is left alone to come up with answers to such questions, usually by deciding to live and understand reality based upon the system’s values. Since I accept an all-loving and all-powerful God, I gave you my answer, based Math 22: 37-39 of the NT in the Bible. Nothing obligates you to accept that as true, but I don’t believe that anyone else can give you an answer that will convince you of its truth, if you are not understanding reality within that system’s meanings.
