Ever since I was young, I’ve despised hearing “it’s just the way things are.” If that’s true, what are we working towards? To live just to live is the merest survival.
Why are we, like Sisyphus, endlessly rolling the rock up the hill? And so we spawn and fulfill a biological purpose, and now we can say, “I live for the children!” but that is not a foregone conclusion. If we didn’t take care of them (if we didn’t want to, luckily many do), we would be demonized. So then we get to the point where there is no inherent form — a rock can be sat on as much as a chair. There’s no inherent meaning to life but that which we give it. And so there is a multitude of reasons for being, given by each person on this planet. The Journey is about finding YOUR meaning. Why are YOU here? What do you want to DO with your life? The more you learn, the deeper you explore, the better informed your decisions. In the end, to posterity, are we just the choices we made? Do you want to accomplish anything? BE something?
