@hombre "was your answer to reproduce?"no, my answer is "to learn my legacy as man, to learn what it is to be human". to know the full breadth of the human experience by studying history, psychology, sociology. to live. to know who i am by looking to the inward mysteries, recognizing and identifying subconscious projections and bringing my shadow self to light. to learn to use the ego as a tool instead of being governed by it. to love and be loved as a means to actualize myself to the fullest extent possible within my limited timeframe.
reproduction probably is the right answer. more than likely i think we just happened, and that species persistence is primary. i feel that there may be more to that though; our brains have developed well past the point that is necessary to achieve this, and it's sometimes maddening trying to know what we should be doing with it.
sometimes trying to find a point in it all is overwhelming, but the question is one i can never ignore. picking out a "god" arbitrarily just to silence the question will never be enough.
- sounds good man! totally agree about picking a god. its just our brains need an explanation, and religion works for most ppl.Hombre_Lobo
