Many people believe we pick our parents and potential life path before we're born. We select the parameters, choose an avatar, and get lost in the game as we advance through various levels pursuing whatever the payoff may be. It's just a game, and when it's over we have the option to go for another ride with a whole new set of parameters.
If this is the way things are, and there's reason to believe it is, it means your life is more than birth, death, and a bunch of random stuff that happens in the middle, like a century long drunkards walk. It means you chose your life and designed the conditions to create the personality required for this life-ride. You also chose to not remember any of this in order to totally immerse yourself into this reality of senses, emotions, experiences, and unexpected adventure that makes this game the hit of the universe and all dimensions.
Our memories aren't completely blank. We might get the feeling there's something more to all this and look for answers by employing some of our boredom killing inventions like religion, literature, drugs, amusement parks, TV, midget wrestling, and thousands of other methods used to ferret out the specific information we need at the specific time to advance to the next level.
Looking for meaning but getting lost in the method.
Like the excitement an amnesiac might feel who finds himself in a situation that triggers a fragment of a distant memory, we get high from our man-made metaphors that allow us to recognize fragments of our initial programming. Every trip to the amusement park expands our consciousness by showing us the nature of the game and how we all buy the ticket and take the ride. It's an experience shared by everyone in the park, indicating we're not alone and it's all fun. Computer games are a metaphoric abstract of your initial programming that requires an avatar of your choosing to learn the importance of gaining knowledge by acquiring the proper tools and information to complete the game. Our man-made culture seems to be brimming with coded information in the form of books, movies, TV shows, gum wrappers, billboards, and to a lesser extent, popular music, containing potential clues to your very own personal big picture.
If we designed this life by choosing our parents as our primary programmers, knowing our choice would determine the quality of this life, why would you choose parents that would condition you to become serial killers, mass murderers, or bottom feeders the world would be better off without?
Why do you think Grand Theft Auto sold over 100 million copies world wide?
It's your game, man. Too late to bitch about it now. Relax and enjoy the ride.

Some good and some confusing points.
I believe everything is laid out for us from the moment we are born.Who our parents are, date we are going to die, who our life partner will be, what we are going to die from, what are life is going to be like.We are just robots from the beginning.No control over it....Nothing we can do.Life is all set for us.
Life is what a person makes of it. There is nothing set in stone to say this is what one has to do, in order to life their life. If you believe you are a robot, then what are you doing posting on here?
You're only a robot if you chose to be a robot. If you believe you have no control over you life & what happens to you in it then your belief system will manifest in the reality you're experiencing. I believe we do have a life path set out for us but i also believe we have a greater control of how it plays out in the scheme of things based on our perception of them. You really do create the reality you experience.
