Today, not good, not bad. I find myself thinking about the value of my presence in the world. Why are people even in the world? Why are any of us even living? What purpose do we really have on the earth anyway? Sure, we cultivate the land and build lots of pretty buildings and parks, but that is all there to keep us living and sane. We really have no right to be in the universe. If nothing existed, what would there be? A blank nothing? That blank nothing would still be something. What is my purpose in the world? Or anyone's purpose for that matter. Maybe we are all here to find our other half. Our soulmate, so to speak.
First, we go through our childhood. Which is basically just when we chill out and worry about nothing. We don't really care about nothing. We are just there, soon to become something more. Next, we have adolescence. We rebel and go through new experiences. We experiment with different things and start to think about one person. Then, we have our teenage phase. We become independent and free. We become more anxious and impatient of finding "the one". We obsess over and *itch about it to our friends. Our friends do the same. Next stop, college-adulthood. We desperately seek that person. We meet and greet and dump. Most lucky people, find that one person in their college years or adulthood.
Now what? They have found "the one". They start a family together. They love each other for the rest of their lives. That's it? They get jobs. What are the jobs for? Entertainers, chefs, accountants, designers, architects, doctors, the list goes on. They earn a good living to live happy and give their children a good future. Just like themselves. Makes sense, but that still doesn't answer why we are here.
I once heard on Ally McBeal that the whole reason we are in the world is to buy things. I completely agree. We go through sixteen or more years of schooling. To do what? Get and education. With an education, we can get a job. A job to do what? To earn money. Everything in the world is a reflectance of money. Our world is based on money. With money, you buy things. You may think, what about love? That's not out purpose. Its just a little constellation prize. With money, we buy things for the ones we love. With money, anything can happen. You can live, die, be happy, be miserable, all depending upon how much money you have. It shouldn't be this way, but face the facts, it's so true. When I fall in love. It'll all change though I hope. I won't have to care anymore. I will have somebody who loves me as much as I love them. Right now I am sounding extremely pessimistic, but that'll all change.
