So by now, I’m sure many (if not all) of you must have been wondering: with all these shits and fuck-ups happening in my life, what is then really the Purpose of my Life?? And I mean, fuck, what is Life really all about??
(it’s funny, strange, and yet still an unexplored *mystery* in itself of why we humans can at one point always seem to ask about this ‘big’ question, especially when we’re in our lowest point in Life. It makes you think & ponder deeply, despite that “Life goes on”).
How about this: Life on this Planet (& Universe, for that matter) is only for one purpose only: Survival. and continuation of our species and civilization.
‘dry’ , ‘cold’ , ‘too-hard’ ugly truth?
Well…not really, it doesn’t have to be an ugly one, in fact, it can be one damn very liberating one with no pretentiousness!
I will explain:
People commit suicide everyday.
Hitler and wars kills millions of our species (humans)
Hungers kill also millions of our species
Yet,..Life still goes on, and Humanity just kept evolving and evolving,..until who knows when.
Considering also that we humans only still live for like 0.001% of the Earth’s history (not to mention Universe!!), it does make us pretty damn miniscule and insignificant, and “WHO ARE WE†to *complain and whine* about this Life, right? (remember: the purpose of Life is only for survival and the continuation of species & civilization, in whatever form that is)
But on the other hand, considering how despite all the genocides and wars and shits and fuck-ups humans kept doing along its history, we have progressed so MUCH (of course obviously from OUR perspective, not the Universe’s) with all its technology, modern sciences, cures in medicines, education, and even new values in spirituality are being combined and invented.
I think this alone is some kind of a *beauty* and *Hope* in itself, that Humanity will kept progressing and progressing, NO MATTER WHAT,….that is unless until a comet strikes the planet, or the Sun swallows our planet (even by then, humanity probably could have already invented ways to counter, escape, or even prevent it…hey, who knows ’bout the future???).
So I don’t know, I think with this ‘enlightenment’ that is ironically sort of pragmatist in tone, I DO get much much more comfort and peace that is unpretentious and forced like when I was still in religion (no offense, though, just my experiences personally).
So, in the end, to paraphrase and adding from the handicapped winner of China Got Talent this year, Liu Wei, I would conclude that for each single one of us, it’s
“to live meaningful life, or to die in Gloryâ€.
Just that whatever you choose/opt to do, I would really really urge and recommend each of you to leave the *MESSAGE* to this world, so it will amplify your life (or death), and it will leave a MARK and not easily forgotten in vain!

I don’t think what you’ve written is helpful at all, actually. Consider that the ‘progression’ you talk about is actually representative of a decadent civilisation and your entire arguement falls apart.
Also, that you wrote ‘Hitler and wars kills millions of our species (humans)’ makes me howl with laughter because I hadn’t realised I was a human and also wasn’t aware that the only two things that have ever killed anyone are wars… and Hitler. So thanks for clearing that up.
Some people might think I’m being a bit harsh, but
BUGGER. Accidental submission of an unfinished post. Ahem.
… Some people might think I’m being a bit harsh, but I’m not currently in the mood for listening to something so uninspiring. There is literally no purpose to life; that we have tried for so long to uncover one should be evidence enough of this. The only eventuality is death; it is the only thing that is inevitable- why prolong the tragedy of life when death is all we can look forward to anyway?
I don’t really have a conclusion. I don’t come on here much anymore, but just read your post and all I could think was LOL… hence, my (broken and probably meaningless) reply.
P.S You wrote, ‘And even new values in spirituality are being combined and invented.’
EXACTLY. These things are ‘invented’. Everything is a human construction; a creation; unnatural; fiction. We can’t live with these things well and happily, as you seem to be suggesting because they have been invented just to make us thus. Happiness does not equal Truth, because these human constructions are not Truth- as you have said yourself- they are mere inventions.
Suffering equals Truth, my friend, Happiness has no role in it.
I’m speaking for myself when I say this, I’m not pushing this onto any of you. Merely throwing my 2 cents into the fray.
I say life has no intended purpose. Some say survival. But from what I can gather, life started out with no purpose. Life then made a purpose for itself.
Like Life, we need to make/or find our own purpose. A purpose that has yet to be filled. A purpose that we have yet to fill. Some find their purpose. Some don’t.
That’s all from me on this here topic.
Keep it user friendly people. I can’t dislike you for respectfully disagreeing. =)
well in short you suck. not litteraly cuz i dont know you but you do but not to worry people suck. its not that the artical is shit cuz its good but it seems like we should consider more about the real life before survival and respecies. it could be a curse regeneate as the beating continues and call it hell when you get new toys
im sorry i suck your right i should be beaten for judging your self expression. im a ****** build on stilts
