Meaning of life - II

(Previous post)

To proceed further, NOW after having decided that some assumption is necessary, the next question is what assumption. Answer to this, I do not know.
A better question would be, what sort of assumption. This can be answered in following way.
From the assumption(s), we can derive certain conclusions and directives.
These conclusions and directives should agree with each other as well as empirical observations.
Seen from that point of view life itself is the biggest controlling condition.
A assumption is valid only as long as life exists.
If life cease to exist or decline as a consequence of the assumption, then that assumption is erroneous.
Hence the position can be summed up as.

Assumption (or Faith) must sustain, nourish and reinvigorate life.

Another way of stating this may be,

Assumption (or Faith) must sustain, nourish and reinvigorate civilization.

Or

Assumption (or Faith) must sustain, nourish and reinvigorate consciousness.

This in all modesty is Gaurav's second wager *
