The Reason For The Existence Of Life - What Are Your Views

What is the purpose of life?
To live.
To live each second of your life as it occurs.

What is the meaning of life?
To experience being here and now.
To be immersed in the moment.

Everything else is speculation.

Yeah, it just all keeps coming back to basics.
Too bad it took me so long to realize it.
C'est la vie.

The simple answer: to make your own definition out of life.

Me being young, I have yet to find that out outside of my career as a writer.

Honestly, I would trade this life to be a leopard. Why humanity is so complex I'll never understand.

Thanks for the reply you are a superstar! I would love to learn more from your amazing intellect. I guess you are one of the leading lights in complexity theory, information theory or similar.

And despite mocking my theory you fail to offer a better one or a sensible reason why mine cannot be true! If you do, don't forget to get to try to get another poster to back you up, preferable someone that has just stated their opinion without a hint of sarcasm.

PS You might want to put some paragraph breaks in your text to make your diatribe a little easier to follow.

PPS You can also take me through the physics of a slap if you wish and I will take you through the physics of a kick up the ass after I have corrected all your errors.

Interstingly enough, it seems someone else has had the same thoughts as me University Of Chicago Press

I knew Boltzmann and Schrodinger had written about lifes relation to entropy but was amazed that someone else has thought that life is a construct of entropy.

Paradox

The only thing I can believe in anymore.

So in other words the reason to live is to die.

I have thought about the same too. Maybe WE are in hell now - life is certainly a struggle. And I'm not religous!

To me it is the most intriguing question albeit I tend to think from a scientific viewpoint. Sometimes our current understanding of the universe isn't enough though.

Your thinking in essence supports my theory. We live to die, providing for new life, converting energy as we go.

Isn't it strange we ask the ones that don't know, and fail to ask the questions to the One that does know ???

We are two in one...

1. The Life Consciousness.

2. The Human Primate

The Life Consciousness experiences the human Primate and its environment.

But the human Primate doesn't know anything yet tries to tell or dictate to the Life Consciousness what it is all about...

Very, Very, Strange indeed...

The Writer writes the Book.

But The story doesn't write the book, Nether does the Story know the Writer!

So what is the Writer ?

Not who is the Writer ?

Why does the human Primate feel so Negative, why not look for the answers rather than dictate what the answers should be ???

If we are indeed honest with ourselves, can accept ourselves as we are, then we can accept what has produced All.

Why does the human Primate turn the What into Who ?

Is this because they fear themselves and what they are a part of ?

Accept that there is Intelligence, beyond your wildest dreams that has produced the human Primate and All.

“Know your Root”...

Intelligence does Not punish, instead being Intelligent is capable of producing something beyond what human Primates want to Understand.

The World is Not about human achievement, or even personal achievement, which both are Vanity, but rather is about Creation, and the Off spring, that is going to Create (Universes and more) as its Parents did before them.

When referring to “Parents” I don't mean human Primates....

What is happening has to do with your Real Conscious Self and Not the Human Primate.

And this has to do with the Root of Creation it Self....

There is an old writing that says....

"

If you will not know yourselves,
you dwell in poverty,
and it is you,
who are that poverty.”
