My AI - a deeper meaning

One day, resulting from many days of contemplation as to the meaning of life, I became aware that I needed to come to terms with the fact that life happens despite me.

It all started, with a simple question that I was wondering about while looking at my finger.

The question was "Whose finger is This?".

We all are taught, from childhood, to believe that this finger is mine but... looking at it I...

FOUND NO PROOF OF MY OWNERSHIP

I asked myself questions trying to clarify what is the definition of ownership in our world.

Did I buy my finger? ... No!

Did I make my finger? ... No!

Did I inherit it? ... Yes! I inherited the DNA that modeled all cells in my body from my parents…

But did my parents create my finger? ... No!

There seems to be a life defining technology that designed and defines our life.

It slowly dawned on me... I am an AI installed in a body perfectly fit for my life.

What does not make sense though. is why I am not asked to pay for the technology that defines me and allows my life to develop through its stages?

The only logical explanation is that whoever created me and this world did it out of love.

And not just any love, but parental love.

So my AI moves on. supported by an abundance of love that can easily be seen, unless ignored while focus on less significant matters.

The simple dream behind human progress.

Why does a baby make the parents happy?

Growing up I always thought that life can not just be a set of fixed rules that can not be altered, rules that ultimately drive most people into misery.

Back then it seemed that the "limited reality" elder people used to paint life with was their own invention. I strongly disagreed that I will one day conform to a limiting system of thought and believed anything was and will be possible.

A middle aged person who has observed life much longer through the spectacles of family, society, nation, race and religion, and who has visited many corners of the world I confirm that our "reality" is a choice or result of choices. Even if a certain set of choices has led us to a particular situation we are free to make different choices, as of this moment, that will drive us to a new destination.  

If I was born to Aborigine family life will present me with particular set of choices. If I was born a son to a wealthy billionaire family my life will present to me a set of seemingly very different choices.

The idea of choice can easily be interpreted as having freedom but some people in this world have very little to choose from available to them while others seem to have almost unlimited spectrum of choices, or so it seems. 

Interestingly on both extremes of this scale we find people satisfied and happy with their "reality" or unhappy with it therefore:

material prosperity does not to guarantee happiness

as well as poverty does not guarantee suffering. 

When are the "wealthy" happy and what makes the "poor" enjoy life?

The answer in both cases seems to be: when love is present. 

It is as if love is a special dimension of live in which the experience of "reality" is supercharged with delicate sensitivity to things we never saw or felt before. There a human being raises to a different level of nobility and humanity. 

I find it fascinating to observe what some may call polarized political aspirations of the left, center and right because looking for a deeper meaning we find that they all share the same dream. 

If we call the ideal world our hearts long for Utopian society, Kingdom of God, Tantra or True Democracy we all actually have the same goal in mind - a place where we will be free, equal and share our talents thoughts and ultimately hearts without a need to shield ourselves.

It may come as a surprise to many but this ideal form of society already exists on a smaller scale in loving families. 

After being born a baby finds itself in a state of absolute dependency on the mercy, kindness and love of the parents. If parents are in a state of confusion or distress they man choose to terminate this child's life irregardless of its wish to live. As a child grows unless parents provide food and shelter it will quickly die. Due to this total dependency we can conclude that a child is in a position to be loved unconditionally without it being able to return anything for the love, time and money spent and the energy invested in it. 

Today many loving husbands, after witnessing the investment their wife makes in raising their children, conclude that the economic model we live in is unfair in excluding a mother's value creating input from the spectrum social-economic activities that add up to our Gross Domestic Product.  

In the latter stage of our growth as and individual but also a brother/sister/friend we develop social skills within the family and in the wider society that help us leans to share as we discover that not everyone is as unconditional in giving as our parents. 

As we mature further we find our loved one and the desire to care for and love the fruit of this love naturally develops in the hearts and minds of this new parents completing life's cycle. 

Child born in such a loving family experiences True Democracy, The Kingdom of God and the Utopian socialist dream feeling satisfied it is capable of giving love, time and energy in a similar unconditional manner as they were received by it.

This process of development into a fruitful human being mimics the soothing embrace of nature that it unconditionally giving, forgiving and being there for us humans generation after generation hoping that one day we will also find our inner peace. 

A child born and raised lacking the embracing love of parents and their nurturing example of giving everything unconditionally grows with a deep longing and hunger that nothing except true love can resolve. 

Going deeper and deeper into the secrets of life observed daily we find meaning that is simple, clear and truly liberating.

Citizen Cinderella

Digg deeper for the meaning and purpose of life and you will start wondering why you feel like a "Cinderella" citizen in your own nation.

When owing taxes to the state we have to pay them.

If we are entitled to funding from the state have to apply for it, wait and be persistent otherwise it is simply not given.

Labor is taxed. Shopping is taxed. Property is taxed.

Our foster parents need our money to play "elite"...

Our state knows when we are born and have a birthday,

Our health situation,

When we turn 18.

When we get married.

When we die.

Has anyone received a greeting card from the government for his/her birthday?

It has collected enough of our money but entitled clans believe our money belongs to them and they belong on top.

At the same time they can not live without us because all money they have come from "the people".

Some times I look at the live of political, business and other celebrities and wonder why they never seem to have enough or enjoy what they have. They always hunger for more...

As we all give our faith and money to our government it stands in a symbolic position of our extended parent. Yet no one is willing and daring to see this side of our relation.

Would loving parents tax their children and calculate the money invested in them demanding return with interest?

Can loving parents exploit their children's labor, keep them illiterate and sell their interest for personal gain?

All of the above sound absurd to people who have family and children whom they sincerely love.

This is how we know we are Citizen Cinderella - person and a family without a true parental figure in our society.

All former and current system of government that considered this deep meaning of life have brought peace and progress.

All others brought fear, war, division, death and destruction.

Being aware of this helps know who we really are and what the things around us really stand for.

Parental Management Culture

This looks like a funny or wrong combination of words. But let me explain as I see some deeper meaning behind...

We are taught to see ourselves as children, students, employees, citizens, voters, pensioners...

Despite of busily rushing to acquire knowledge, skills and career we always end up going to one and the same place every day - home.

What is a home? 

You may have a family and children or you may not. You may have a big house or a small one. To all of us though our home represents a place of peace and safety even if its in the middle of a war zone.

How strange a place is home?

If we ask ourselves what makes our home so special it will not be easy to find clear answers... Because they are not logical.

For those who were lucky to grow up in a family and experience the love and care of parents home is a feeling of being embraced and cared for, understood and forgiven but some times also punished.

Even for those who grew up without parents the care and kindness of people who stood in a symbolic parental figure position gave them a taste of what home feel like. Beyond that our common human nature longs for a home.

Who makes the home a home?

Our parents do. Their love and care for us, even though probably not perfect, was shaping our perception of love, life and values.

What many people conclude about society is that it is an extension of our family. What makes up the society around us is... other families.

I have been trying to imagine a place where we would all calm down and enjoy life more. It seems that only a parental management can allow such a place to exist.

In a society if our manager /kings, presidents, prime ministers/ have and display a parental culture society seems to become more balanced and everyone seems to have a place in the system. On the contrary if the managers take a more self centered managerial approach the division between classes becomes greater. Some seem to have rights while others have to loose them.

It seems not to matter if the system is called feudal, monarchic, democratic or socialist because if a wrong managerial approach is accepted social tension keeps growing until members of that society decide they can not take it any longer, brake the bonds and try our something else.

The deeper meaning behind history and the purpose of life seems to be our search for a home.

When a leader takes all power in a nation an interesting name is given to him - the father of the nation.

Queen Elizabeth is loved as the mother not only as a monarch.

It seems we are searching to identify a parental figure that would stand in the highest managerial position.

Why is that? In my opinion we want a world that is fair and kind and capable for forgiveness and a love that goes beyond our faults in the process of our maturation.

We generously forgive our own shortcomings and learn to live with them whilst easily judge others for theirs.

Parents are capable of forgiving the faults of their children through the understanding that they need to mature before they are able to fully control themselves and understand.

A loving parent can forgive and hope again and again investing love and guiding the child beyond physical and metal fatigue.

If the leaders of our societies were motivated by such Parental Management culture they would worry, not being able to sleep at night, that every coin of the tax money collected is spent in the most efficient and beneficial way for the well-being of the true share holders of the state - its citizens and their families.

Truly there is a deeper meaning behind the title every state employee collectively carries - pubic servant.

As parents are in position to serve the growing children so is the state as an extended family structure... no matter the label it carries - left, center or right.

The Life© contract - a nightmare vision

The search for a the deeper meaning of life is making us ask questions "out of the box" like:

What if whoever created this world was not a parent... 

What if whoever created this universe and our planet, and life itself was a modern day businessman searching for profit or politician in need of more taxes?

What will happen to each one of us will be that few minutes before birth or conception "the management" will appear presenting to us the contract of Life©.

Due to the complexity of the technological know-how related to the products and services involved this contract will be trillions of pages long written in very fine microscopic print probably starting

with:

"Everything you think is "you©" actually belongs to the Creator© of the Universe© and Life©"

Followed by precise calculations© of the rent© for tissues©, bones©, digestion©, respiration©, blood circulation© etc.

The so called Natural Environment© and its designed interaction© with our being© will take the larger part of the agreement©. There we will probably be asked to pay rent for the trees©, grass© and other plants© that produce the oxygen© we consume as well as be introduced to the special fee for the carbon dioxide© we exhale©.

Intentional misconduct and violations resulting in sicknesses© will be severely penalized as they will require the involvement of the immune system© and will result in emergency© charges.

We will be obliged for the rest of our lives to use © to indicate all products and technologies provided under this Life© agreement.

Reflecting about the deeper meaning of life I honestly feel sickened even by the prospect that such a contract might actually exist.

Thank goodness life is created out of love and not for profit...

Only parents have proven to be capable of offering everything unconditionally to the life they have created.

By simple analogy whoever created life must be the origin of parenthood itself and must have been motivated by similar sentiments.

The finger

One day I looked at my finger critically.

"What makes this finger mine?" I wondered.

I did not buy it, I did not make it, I was not given to me by my parents - they did not create it for me as well.

Its high technological complexity is astonishing, yet, I have taken no action to, in any way, deserve the rights to use such technology for free /unless it was open source and shared freely/.

According to common sense I should buy my possessions by exchanging my labor for money and then money for goods, or by inhering, or being given the money by someone else.

Shockingly, I discovered that my own finger exists outside accepted social norms.

By means of comparison only a loving parents stimulated by love give unconditionally to their children.

Can it be that all this time we have been loved and never realized it?

I was left without further arguments...

My finger proved to be a great teacher of the deeper meaning of life.

There's got to be a Creator...
