We were bred into our shared co-evolutionary biom to be exactly who we are, doing exacatly what we are doing.
Don't worry. Just know that we evolved within a shared co-evolutionary biom as a necessary part of that biom. Live is the purpose of life.
Very NICE post...Here is a thought. It has been suggested that life in our planet will go bye bye in 3797. Should not we do something about it? By the way, the Plant Kingdom has been here for a long time (hence the need for Oxygen consuming groups) and they have been waiting for the humans to do more than what has been happening...again something to think about.
Life is 'the purpose' indeed, and it need not be human life, though we think so highly of ourselves. If we muck up the habitat to our own detriment or even demise, it makes not a whit of difference to the universe or the greater amount of biomass which is microscopic in nature and which actually enables our existence at all.
If homo sapiens dies out, it won't be the first failed primate and likely not the last. Someone, somewhere at some time will unearth our petrified remains and wonder at how primitive our lives must have been.
Another NICE post. I believe (proof may come later) that we (in this planet) are four dimensional creation. Three part Matter and One part Energy. We have not heard what is going on in the Energy part yet...so, may be things will change...
Assuming the fact that only humans can think about God, would it be to think about God and in the process have self-realisation of the self?
Wrong Assumption. The Plant Kingdom has been here long before you are...much much longer...For an Indian, you should know better...
The purpose of life is to exist because it is as part of the Universe as the galaxies are
There is otherwise no purpose to life , life just can be , because it can
It is up to Humanity to give life its purpose
It is the UNIVERSE to give purpose to LIFE not Humanity....Thanks.
Our purpose has been to overcome, or put pretty brashly, to conquer nature. This has been it whether we admit it or not, since we became sentient, and especially, self-aware. As Scheherazade touched upon, we do it best by cooperating, which, and with deference to Arne, requires kindness at all times in order to succeed. Note, I implore readers not to take lessons from Islamic State in the Levant or Syria.
Bad idea...you may feel sentient...that is overly optimistic...very raely self-aware as to understand the whole situation awareness...
Not REALLY...Ask the Universe about Life...There is no purpose of life, any more than there is a purpose for quartz or the moon titan. That being said, since people happen to be sentient we get to assign any 'purpose' to life that we choose. A pretty enviable ability I would say.
