What is the purpose of your life?

[Bowyn Aerrow]

It's the flow of evolution for everything; from the singular to the multiple; from the simple to the increasingly complex. The purpose of life is to transform energy and the thrust of evolution is toward increasingly higher dimensions of awareness.

I understand your point, Bowyn Aerrow, but there's more to it than just the transmission of DNA. If that is all that was needed, we'd still be howling at the moon. No, there's a direction to it, you can see it. Life wishes to become increasingly sensitive, perceptive, conscious and aware.

I maintain that is our purpose (both individually and collectively). Whether we're fulfilling it or not, that's a whole other question.

I strongly suggest you open up your eyes and look at the majority of people. They are pointless, and driven by the solitary demands of the DNA to reproduce.

7.??? billions of people are currently on this god forsaken ball of mud. How many can you name that are known by a decent chunk of others? How many of those have done anything to improve the lot of humanity? Bill Gates and :confused:....

There is no other direction. you are looking at a guy who did seminary, philosophy and other educated studies to find purpose for humans - Sorry, there ain't no purpose, no plan.

Humans are just animals - sure ones that can manipulate their environment and communicate better than others, but still animals.

Looking at the history of earth as a whole, 99% of species that ever was are now extinct. humans are no better. Well better deluded than the rest, but still a victim of their drives and still animals.

It is a self deluded mind that thinks that humans are better than. The whole of human history isn't even a tick on the grand clock of the whole of life on earth.

T-rex did better than humankind will at the survival thing. Heck, crocodiles, and alligators are the world champions of survival, having out lived every species for the past 65+ million years.

And sad to say, they will out live that funny naked primate, human....

There is nothing that makes humans better than, or more than the other 7.77 billion other animal species on earth.

Humans are animals capable of reasoning, this does not and never will mean humans are reasoning animals.

Everything humans do, including altruism, is about survival of the genes. That its - and nothing more

Faith in a purpose in human activity beyond that is as foolish as a faith in an invisible man who lives up in the sky and gives a flying fuck about mortals here on this planet.

Sorry to burst bubbles or upend people's faith in humanity. Its just a hard won knowledge and full understanding of the nature of mankind. Look at the news, nothing has improved, only the delusion that humans have improved. Still the lice bitten, primitive instincts drive everything from politics to religion, from relationships to personal character.
