Why Do We Exist?
-
I know that many of us wonder the purpose for our existence. Well, I do that a lot. Was just wondering what reasons people on the site can generally come up with. Or what do they think as the reason for thier existence. Thought it would be interesting to know other people's thoughts on this.🤔
-
@NothingnessR05 For the same reason why anything exists. It is our destiny and we have been caused to exist.
-
@Quazi u mean or whole lives are tied to the strings of fate(or tachyons)? And whatever events that occur in our life have already been decided? Thus we never had a free will? So the freedom to think and do things is just an illusion? And all we do is follow the trajectory which has already been dictated for us??? 🤔.. well.. I sometimes think that too... But I purposely forget it every time, so as to not lose the will to do anything 😂... though,Good thinking pal.

Yes

Free will, freedom to think and do things probably exist but choices are predestined
And all we do is follow the trajectory which has already been dictated for us???
Yes
-
Well everyone has their point of view on this subject there is one who thinks that our existence is only a coincidence but I consider it a gift from God.
-
@NothingnessR05 According to me there are three reason's for
our existence-
Because of earth's ecosystem which is suitable for our
existence -
To satisfy our pleasures which is the basic purpose of any living beings existence and which can be of any type of pleasure
-
We are afraid of death or to cease our existence as what
happens after death is totally unknown so we try to prolong
our period of existence by any means

@Kayss-30 yeah, I know. Many people share ur point of view my friend. It is true that if some being which we assume to be GOD exists.. then he may be the one who has created us. But my question in that case would be... Why did he create us? Just for his amusement? Or some task that he wants us to fulfill? Everything must have a reason.. is my opinion.
-
@Rajeev2021 u took my question in the wrong way pal is what I think. I wanted to basically ask that what could be the possible reasons for our existence ( ur second point somewhat went close to that.. ie, experience the pleasures and sorrows of life.. that's what I interpreted from it) but ur 1st and 3rd point would be answer to the questions, "How do we, humans, survive on earth?" And "How do we posses a will to live and fear to death?" Respectively... Well.. just my opinion... I am not saying that u r wrong or I am right 😅
-
@NothingnessR05 At the beginning I had the same question as yours but I can give you an example: it's like you give a gift or a donation to a person without waiting for him to give you a favor.
-
@Kayss-30 then how can u say that life is a boon. Why do a lot of people suffer so much that living becomes a curse to them. Then the life granted to them couldn't be called a gift, it might even be a punishment.
-
@NothingnessR05 well, from a religious point of view life is only a test, the pain, the sadness, the poverty ... are evaluations, if we have been patient and we have done good we will go to paradise if not god Who will decide.
-
@Kayss-30 well, what will we do once we enter Paradise? Live a peaceful happy life like some people can do in this life itself? 🤔.. the whole paradise thing seems like a BS for brainwashing or bait to make it more convenient for some manipulative people to have it more convenient to control other people with mentally weak defences 🤔🤷
-
@NothingnessR05 well, I told you at the beginning that I am speaking from a religious point of view so we can not agree at this point, me I consider the paradise as the gift of the people who succeeded in their test "life" , and only people who have resisted and who do good will get to heaven, and god told us that it out of human imagination.
-
@NothingnessR05 Then your question should not be on 'reasons for existence', it should be on the 'purpose of existence' there some difference between a reason and purpose as reason implies the cause of something whereas purpose concerns with the work or destiny .Here in my first point i have defined the reason for existence which means why life exists and in the second and third point i have defined the purpose of our life's existence
-
@Rajeev2021 okay.. my bad ig
-
@AllAboutGay seriously 😏 lol
-
@AllAboutGay oh.. I am not gay (neither the happy one, nor the homosexual one).. guess I don't really exist...my existence itself is an illusion from ur pov 🥺... I think the name Nothingness just tells others how I don't exist.. and I am only a thought created by some gay person's Brain 🥺😢🤔
-
@NothingnessR05 since you think then you exist😜
-
@Kayss-30 or I might just be a program in the simulation that u r living through... And the name of this highly advanced simulation is 'life'😂🤔🥺
-
@NothingnessR05 Everything is possible bro the universe is mysterious and full of secrets, but just by revealing its origin , we will find the reason, because everything is connected and there is no coincidence in this life, Even this discussion,Who will influence the meaning of our life or of the others who will read it🤷
