THE reason we exist. , page 2

So because the universe is complex and coincidences happen there must be a reason for everything that happens? And because we have obstacles and triumphs there must be a reason for it all?

Its life - it just happens. Deal with it.

What a disappointing opening post. 'We exist because life is great'....Seriously, one would expect more from the philosophy section

You can test this theory.

Do nothing but observe.

You'll last maybe a few days before you start to die of thirst.

You are here, as we all are, to procreate and pass on your genetic material. Like a colony of ants or bacteria.

Once you die, that spark that you feel inside you that you define are you, ceases to be. It is no more. Your energy transfers into radiating heat and you disperse into your surroundings. Like the sun heating the sand on a beach, at night it radiates back out. Not the same. But still energy.

Think of this.

If you were to suffer traumatic brain damage, and your personality were to become affected so much that it became unrecognisable to anyone, what has changed?

your spirit? or the mechanical and chemical structure that defines the way you think.

We observe because we're now free to do so. We've built everything we need and now we rely on it. Absolute reliance on the technology we've made to ease the burden of existing.

Go back 100,000 years and tell nomadic tribes who subsist on game and hunting, they can sit down and write a book about the nature of the self. See how much they can observe before they're eaten.

Survival of the fittest, no time to write that book, that sabre tooth looks hungry. I have to fight it with my stick that I've sharpened. I teach my child how to sharpen sticks too. He makes them better than me...

and so he guarantees his genetic material is continued.

The book writer dies of cirrhosis of the liver, ultimately.

That's your opinion and you are entitled to it, but that does not give you the authority to claim definitively that life has no reason or purpose. Learn some humility.

Deal. With. That.

Deal. With. That.

Yet a thread entitled "THE reason we exist." discussing why we disagree...

Fancy. That!

There is a difference between discussing a theory and simply being dismissive. The member I was addressing was being dismissive - disregarding the OP's theory without giving reasons to back up or elaborate on his claims.

Life is meaningless each and everyone of you is giving meaning to it.

Let me propose my meaning than, What is your purpose in this reality???

Peace

Yup, I can agree with that. I would put it in terms of Leela.

Lila (Sanskrit: लीला, IAST līlā), or Leela is a concept within Hinduism literally meaning "pastime", "sport" or "play". It is common to both non-dualistic and dualistic philosophical schools, but has a markedly different significance in each. Within non-dualism, Lila is a way of describing all reality, including the cosmos, as the outcome of creative play by the divine absolute (Brahman).

Atman = Brahman

'Thou art that'

All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women

...merely...

...players...

They have their exits and their entrances;
And one man in his time plays many parts

Because it gives us a direction. We desire a direction.

That is our purpose. We exist because there is something, of value, to observe.

And that something is his truth, life and way. God is not an it.
