About Me

Our souls are hungry for meaning, for the sense that we have figured out how to live so that our lives matter, so that the world will be at least a little bit different for our having passed through it. . . . What frustrates us and robs our lives of joy is this absence of meaning. . . . Does our being alive matter? Harold S. Kushner in "When All You Ever Wanted Isn't Enough

Purpose in Existence -Written By Mike


There is one thing that the human mind will never understand,at least it eludes me, that is purpose in existence. No matter how you look at existing, from a human perspective, there i no purpose what so ever.


Humans see purpose in items such as a car to go to work, a job to make money, money to buy food etc. All of the purposeful items do have some function but in the big picture it is just a never ending provision of purpose to something else. Take a step back though. Purpose in human perspective is that purpose is something that does some function, car to drive to work, dishes to eat etc. What about existence though? Our existence is completely purposeless from that stand point. We will fulfill no function by existing. Even if there was a purpose we would want to know what the purpose of that purpose was or at least I would. So purpose is actually a man made concept just like time. Time does not exist, it is simply a measurement to make life more convenient. Life would be chaotic with out it and impossible to plan things.
