Life’s Purpose
According to science, we are basically just a random occurence. Somehow the correct ingredients got together, some electricity, etc, and life got started and eventually evolved into us. We are here for no reason or purpose, we just randomly happened to become who we are. Basically we live for some period of time and then we die and that’s all there is to it.
Knowing that life is random and purposeless, what do you want to do with your life? What is important?
- First, I think you have to enjoy yourself. If you didn’t even enjoy yourself while you were here, that seems like quite a waste.
- Secondly, I want to accomplish something, contribute something to society, improve our condition as a whole.
- Third, I’m curious about everything, I want to learn and understand as much as I can about everything there is.
I think the key thing to think about if you believe life is random and purposeless is to figure out what makes you happy. For me, its hanging out with friends, experiencing new things, and learning and discovering things.
Also, never forget that famous quote: “Life is meaningless until you see that it has no meaning.” ~Todd Hester
