Why Am I here?




Let's review one simple yet profound concept. The only thing that a human being can accept as being true is their own entity. One may speculate on what another's existence may be like, and they even may be correct in determining another person's intentions, but no one is capable of experiencing anything in the same manner another person does.

For that reason, the idea of a specific purpose in life is fundamentally flawed. If there is a God, (God in a very basic sense. For instance, a supreme being that is a creator of the universe. not necessarily Jesus Christ, Buddha, etc.) then this God has purposely created human's with our known capabilities for a reason. It is absolutely ridiculous to claim anything like, "All humans are rational beings" because people are confronted with perceived irrationality all around them, but the statement "All humans have 2 legs intended for walking" is correct because it is an intrinsic human value.

What one should realise is the basic fundamentals, not why things on Earth are a certain way, but who/what invented basic motion? What invented space and matter in its atomic form? What invented the concept of gravity and why is it necessary for lifeless planets to have it too?

This is where theists would claim that I simply don't understand religious values. The scientific world itself was founded within a society who's moral code is based upon a religious doctrine, be that Ancient Greek and Roman Deities or Aramic religions, etc. Science does not intend to disprove God, it intends to explain our world in a reasonable sense. Religion is a logical deduction of what used to be consider true... and only considered true because science was not developed enough to counter religion's reasonable logic. Even now the big argument between science and religion centres around the premise of whether one is willing to accept that there is a God, or that there is not. Because God cannot be proven or disproven, every theory regarding Him and existence must start with "Assume God exists...." or "Assume God does not exist..." both arguments are logically correct, however the difference lies in what one is willing to believe in a very basic sense.

Does life have a purpose? If so, why can't the average human find it?

Let's think about this carefully. The same logic applies to thethe example of a 10 year old asking his mother one morning, "Mom, why do I have to go to school today?" She answers, "Because it is important you are educated and it is the law." If the child simply counters with, "Can I not provide myself with information in another fashion?" The logical answer is, "of course you can.... but but but, I grew that way, everyone grew up that way and you will not be different."

What is my point? Very simple; what you are willing to accept as being true IS true in your existence until it is blatantly proven false by concrete proof. For instance, let's assume when you were 5, you thought that magic fairies cleaned your dishes when the dishwasher door closed. As a child, you are both unaware that magic cannot exist and that the water in the dishwasher is distributed through a complex irrigation-esque system of pipes and water pumps. When you find out about this system (at least in a basic sense), you realise how silly it was to have ever thought magic existed..... but it felt real in your heart that whole time until you knew the real truth, right? haha

All that one should accept is that life is what we are capable of knowing. We are given eyes; observe everything you can and don't miss a thing. We are given ears; listen carefully and realise that each word is important. We are given muscles, fat deposits and bones; respect them and realise that the only thing that is true in life is your own body.

If you're not true to yourself, than you aren't true at all. If every thought you have is you're own thought, then you cannot lie to yourself because you knew the answer even before the semantical rationale of the statement can be realised.

Be true, be real and one will learn that life is not a pursuit of anything; it's an experience. There is a lot we do feel and a lot we can feel.... if this life is the only thing we are guaranteed; why would one be willing to live in a state of balance and modesty?
