worldview

Any worldview, whether it be secular or religious, needs to answer humanity's age-old questions: Where did I come from? Why am I here? Where am I going? Does life has any meaning and purpose? ("Now How Shall We Then Live", Charles Colson, P.xi)
And once these questions are answered, we need to ask the question: Can I live consistently with my answers?
Answer these questions for yourself. Go on take the time and make the effort and then ask yourself whether or not you can live according to your answers.
Many have answered by saying all life is the result of random chaos, well try and live your life that way and see how long you last. Some answer by saying all that we experience is only in our imagination, and yet if they want to live long they still look both ways before crossing a street.
Some say there are no rights and wrongs, and yet if you smack them in the head they'll get upset as if you've done something wrong to them.
Some say there are no absolutes and are absolutely sure about it.
