Through out the ages man has searched for the reason he is here. For the reason he is alive.
He has used religious, philosophical, and psychological angles to help support his reasoning, as well as how he came to his conclusions
Some believe that we are here to worship God. That the universal, heavenly host, created us for the purpose of being sub-servant to his will. We are the care takers of this third planet from the sun, and as such, all we do is in his honor.
Some believe that the meaning of life is to find happiness. Happiness with every day life, Happiness with the world around us, Happiness with just existing. That regardless of what life brings to us our ultimate goal is Happiness.
Others however, claim the meaning of life is just to live. That we are here to just be. That happiness, sorrow, pain, and pleasure etc… are just temporary manifestations of the human condition. That in the end none of it truly matters.
Then there are those who have no belief in anything outside of the nature world . They hold no claim to a heavenly host that had created the universe, therefor they hold to the belief that all life is now and will forever be random. This is no real right or wrong, but instead grey areas for them to play around with.
Now I have thought about this question so many times myself. Sometimes I was sober and other times I was just a tad more tippsy than the law recommended. But the thoughts were all the same. Why am I here? what am I doing?
To the best of my limited thought processes, I have come to the conclusion that we are here simply to help one another. We help with others needs, and in turn others will help with our needs.The concept is simple, so simple in fact that modern philosophical minds don’t even cover it.
We help others when life fights against us.
We stand by those that have been left behind,
We hold those, who, can’t swim, high up above the surface.
and we help to free the bonds of those who place themselves in an self imposed hostage state of mind.

And why is it that we are destined to be this way??? Because in reality we are, all that we have.
