I must confess

I must confess that I don't have the faintest idea what my purpose is or what's going on, and I never have. I became comfortable with that mystery a long time ago - that I would never know how any of these things fit together in any explicit way.

-Gary Snyder

I must confess. I have often tried to figure out my purpose. Silly me. Not that I don't think there is a purpose to life just silly to try and figure out what it is. But, hell. Why not? What are your best guesses?

Re: I must confess

Hopefully to get on with and help other people to the best of our abilities, so that we can all live together and enjoy life, before passing on (and, no, I don`t mean to sound sanctimonious)

Re: I must confess

My purpose is to figure out why people listen to Steely Dan.


In all seriousness, I think it'll just make your head spin to try and figure something like that out. I don't think humans have reached that level of conception yet. If you think about it, the world expects nothing for us individually, and the universe expects nothing from our world. So that doesn't put humans at any high level of importance in the grand scheme of things. So enjoy, even if you're not enjoying.

Re: I must confess

All I know is that it could not be the purpose of life to think about the purpose of life all the time.

So perhaps to live life is the purpose...
