Meaning of Life

[genep]

the metaphorical meaning of life is all about Entertainment.
the Hindus of old called this Entertainment Maya, or  "the play of the gods, Lila."
Maya is like the entertainment we give and get when we play a role in a play or movie.
only more entertaining.
..in a play or movie we entertain while we know the role we are playing.

But not-knowing that we are playing a role in a movie
would make it more entertaining, even funny.(Like "Candid Camera")

not knowing that we are playing a role in life is entertaining
what makes life super-entertaining: "we" not only don't know that we are playing our role
... but we don't even know that I-am/we-are playing ALL  the roles. 
-- O'no

I agree to the extent that life's comparable to a screenplay in the respect that if we knew we were eternal beings it'd belittle life experiences. Our growth would be hindered if this was the case. Mortality is something to be taken very seriously.

But no, I don't believe we're here to BE entertained. That would be pointless now wouldn't it?

We're incarnated here to grow, and to help others grow.
