I have taken a lot of time to think of this.. and it's the latest subject I've been wondering on..
Why are we here? What is our purpose?
Well.. it's easy to see what one's purpose is just by looking at which of its actions are supported.. I like to make an analogy between men and chicken..
Did you know that the chicken population in about 24 billion individuals?
They are many.. it might seem a prosperous civilization.. if I were a chicken to say. But of course as a chicken I would not see my purpose. I would get fed. I'd lay eggs. I'd be happy.
What are we as humans doing? If our purpose is not implied by ourselves.. of course I would not have an answer to that.. It's impossible for me to grasp it.
Anyway.. I can grasp this concept at least.
Purpose may only be a human concept.. we may not even have a purpose.. but we are still here.. by chance? maybe..
Chaos is an order we can not understand - that is the basics of chaos theory
As we can not defeat death.. we are all some sort of tries of something.. and.. as we fail.. we leave our descendants to make another try..
Evolving is a purpose some may say.. but.. as we have limits.. we will get to a level where there will be so much knowledge that even by consuming all of you time on getting it.. you will not be able to finish.. even nowadays we get scraps of information.. and none of us can cover all fields.. we need each other.
Unfortunately not all of us are to be trusted.. we may never reach that level.
..without purpose, we would not exist..
Another important aspect about purpose is the very meaning of it.. we live because we have a purpose.. it's what makes you wake up in the morning..
But be careful.. purpose can be wrapped around everything you want.. it might be a dream.. a person.. we should be very careful with what we wish for.. and more important.. what do we do when we get it.. is there another purpose we can find?
If you don't find your own.. you might look for it elsewhere.. and.. out there are many that would like you to be their slave.. they might just give you one.. for free. Don't look for idols or models..
and.. believe me.. I didn't write this for you.. not even for my descendants.

don't
By giving help.. you are not helping at all.. Don't try to help anyone you wish to grow stronger.. you wish to be free.
"you and I meet here.. we have always met here"
actually a less ambiguous form of that would be: you and I meet here.. it was always meant for us to meet here. Don't worry that things won't happen when there is no other way for it to happen..

when does it end?
Have you ever wondered?
Do we have any limits? should we?
As much as we'd like to think we do not have limits.. we do.. it's our nature.
How about greed? how can anyone be so greedy that he can not stop asking for more? To answer that.. let's look into what we gain by having things..
It's opportunities.. I get a new car.. I can take long trips.. I can go anywhere I want whenever I want.. no matter the time of day or year..
I get a new house.. I already had one.. but.. I didn't have a pool.. now.. I have a pool.. I can get my "friends" (not commenting on the quotes right now) over whenever I want.. whenever I feel lonely.. I'm important..
But if I have all this.. why isn't it all enough? What else could I ask for?
It's because we do not treat this kind of opportunity with responsibility..
We actually do not become free.. all these come with sacrifices.. and obligations..
What I didn't see when I bought my new car.. is the insurance that I have to pay for it and the gas to run it..
My home can no longer be taken care of all by myself.. so.. I have to pay the housekeeper, the gardener.. and again.. the insurance.. It's not my house anymore..
So.. if I stumble in some situation that does not allow me to sustain my current level in society.. I am no longer there.. that's why it is impossible for me to give up whatever I'm doing to sustain this way of life..
The simplest example is a star: "oh.. look.. I am glamorous.. great.. famous.. rich.. I can have everything I want.." everybody wants that (wonder why?.. watching TV?)
But these are clowns.. they don't even have the rights to live a normal life.. they don't have privacy.. they get stuff for free.. but their every move is being watched and criticized. These guys are not free.. they are puppets. They have to come on the red carpet every year for you to see and praise. 'cause if they don't.. mass-media has a simple way of ruining you.. and then.. who will pay for that great house with pool.. It would be a real shame to have lost it.. what kind of example is that.. success is only up.. .. really?
When you are offered an opportunity of making money.. or whatever.. becoming important.. don't just throw it away on obligations.. because by making these dependencies on the system.. you will not be able to escape them in bad times..
Ever wondered why do you hear rich people commit suicide in times of crisis?
Hmm.. one would be that they got some level of importance.. but got fooled in making connections.. making promises to some other parties.. that are ruthless when it comes to getting what it is expected.. and.. in some situations.. there are things a lot more horrible than death.
I have a say.. you can't get in trouble if you are invisible.. but you can't make anything great either.
