The purpose of human existence is to wait for, and purchase, the eventual next Jethro Tull album. Once that's purchased, well, rinse and repeat.
After Ian "the man" Anderson dies, the purpose of life will shift to waiting for, and purchasing, the new compilation that comes out every five years or so. ------------- "There seem to be quite a large percentage of young American boys out there tonight.

Jared, me old mate, it goes something like this.. Because of the brain nature has blessed us with, we 'assume' there is more to just 'being' here than meets the eye. We assume also, that because we are capable of so much; engineering, electronics, IT, war bombs, death etc, that somehow our role in this world is more important than that of, say the otter, or the chimp. Incorrect, our contribution is only important to us, as a species and is probably something of an inconvenience to many other species on the planet. I'm sure in otter land there are levels of communication between the animals on the most important issues within their sphere of being; mating, feeding, defending themselves and their young etc. However simple or complex our world, or that of any other species may appear to us, it all comes down to one thing: Shagging. ------------- Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy! |

Exactly. Take away the threat of death.... ..and our existence becomes truly pointless, even if we could shag forever - because we would choose not to. Infact we would become bored with it and would cease to breed. We have a limited window of time in which to breed. Nature has organised it that way, allowing the female only a finite supply of eggs, but the male an endless amount of sperm. That way the female is selective about how she uses those eggs, but the male has enough sperm to splash around and impregnate as many females as possible. Child birth requires strength and good health in a female to survive the ordeal. Thats why the eggs run out once a female has passed her optimum birthing age. Generalisation, but you get the drift.. Take my word for it. It's all about shagging! ------------- Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy! |

Nonesense, I got laid on Monday night. Bit of a waste of time, as no offspring will come about as a result, but fun nonetheless. That raises an interesting point. Are we the only animal who has sex purely for pleasure? The Marquis De Sade is right. I often kick myself at all the opportunities I missed for a good roll in the hay when I was young.

The irrationalist point of view, especially that of Nietzche, claims that life has no ultimate goal or higher purpose. Life is an abyss of chaos that you must look into in order to find the meaning of one's own existence. It is a very personal experience.
I agree with this somewhat. I believe that everyone has a different point in life, its up to us to find out what that is. Sort of like the poker analogy... everyone is dealt a specific hand of cards in life. Its how you play the game with what you have that determines how successful or happy you will be. Or even how you are judged in the next realm.... ------------- THIS IS ELP

Hi Linda. Good to hear from you again
Nietzche's desription of life as an 'abyss of chaos' rings true. It's felt like that at times. However, despite having stared into my own black hole for many years, I'm yet to find that purpose on a personal level. While I maintain that the purpose of the species as a whole is purely to breed, I know that on a personal level no amount of joyful random breeding would ever make me truly happy. You bring in a religous element to the discussion here; saying that how one plays ones hand of cards may determine not only how happy they are, but how they are judged beyond their mortal years. I cant relate to this being Athiest, but it seems if you have a faith then you have apurpose in life automatically; to live by the moral codes of that faith, the best you can, so you are judged favourably when you die. ------------- Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy! |

No it's the other way round. All animals have sex for pleasure. Humans are the only ones who do it with the specific aim of procreation.

Ahh.. but the question of this thread is "what is the point of Life"... which is totally different than having a purpose in life. Having a purpose in life is an individual issue where the Point of life.... is more universal and sort of asks... so why do we live?
Most of us live, because its a better alternative and less frightening than dying....regardless of whether we're religious and believe we go on to a higher plane... or not religious.. and thats just it, folks!
And if you don't think its a better alternative.. then perhaps you need to come up with a few of those purposes in life... ------------- THIS IS ELP

and the fact that some cannot bring mankind to this simple almmost accidental level (as life on this planet is accidental also) causes some to think of a higher form of life and a creator.

Yes, there is a clear difference between purpose and point. If we'rebringing it back round to the 'point' of life, then I stand by my original assertion. It's all about shagging. Sean Trane: Yes, mans (and womens) inability to accept that they are actually not that important in the grand scheme of things, and are basically just a shagging machines - some obviously some more than others - leads to the belief in a God, or intelligent design. Religion is therefore a product of arrogance and/or insecurity. Discuss... ------------- Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy! |

yes, when David Hume (18th Cent Philosopher who had written tracts on the non-exixtence of God, and a moral argument for committing suicide) was on his death bed, a small crowd gathered around him to see whether the fear of imminant death would force him to change his mind. He didn't of course, but this didn't stop much of his work being censored and burnt by the establishment.
aside from his beliefs being considered blasphemous, the great fear was that if the farmer was convinced that there was no heavenly reward for the backbreaking work of tilling the ground every day of your life until you dropped dead at 45, and consequently no eternal damnation for stepping out of line, then everyone would want to become aristocracy in this life, and the whole social structure would collapse around the establishment's ears, just like it did in France, 20 years later!
so, as Andy quite rightly points out, the true reason for our existance come down to having a good shag..

Why is everyone so concerned about being happy? For me, happiness is never going to permanent, whatever you do. You could be the King/Queen or the ruler of the world, but you won't be always happy, if at all. I stopped trying to be happy years ago. Yes I am happy, but I don't seek to be happy. I take ever day as it comes, if something bad happens, it happens. There's no point planning things at all really. -------------

Thanks guys. Well I've never read anything about Zen (although I did once start to read Robert M. Pirsig's "The Art of Motorcycle Maintenance", but didn't get too far). I do believe I make sense though. I've suffered from depression myself and have gotten through it... without drugs too. I just thought one day "why am I worrying about such trivial things, when others are having much bigger problems in their life?" and I snapped out of it. I'm not happy with with my life, not at all, but I don't dwell on it too much. I have the occasional bad day, but I can soon filter it all out and be positive again. I still lack motivation to do things though, which is a still a big problem. -------------

Happiness is the feeling you get when things are going better than usual.
If we didn't have an inbuilt need to be happy, we'd probably still be living in caves or maybe we wouldn't even have got that far. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/BobGreece/?chartstyle=basicrt10">

To balance the physical with the metaphysical -" Going for the One"
Solving the mystery of "Pi"
Avoiding financial teasers like credit card companies!
Have as much sex as possible
Listening to as much Prog as possible
Love and enjoy your kids before the inlaws arrive.

the point of life is to listen/play music. to me, people who dont listen to music are either up-tight, boring, snobby, or unenlightened people. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/MysticBoogy" rel="nofollow - My Last.fm

Evidently they do... someone gave you a title!!
And I believe the smutty sex talk was started long before by Blacksword regarding "shagging". However, if you think that stating a statistic about women's anatomy is smutty, then let the smut begin.... oh yea!
Sexual statistics: from the Journal for Sex Research
Average Time to Orgasm (female)
For those females in Kinsey's studies that could achieve orgasm through intercourse, averaged a little less than 4 minutes to reach orgasm during masturbation, though for intercourse it took anywhere from 10 to 20 minutes. Average Time to Orgasm (male) Way to state the obvious, doc. ------------- THIS IS ELP

Still, your photograph (if that is a picture of you, off course) shows a smile. Don't overlook your own feelings. True, people die in cruel ways, like hunger or blasted out because of differences between credos, that sort of horrible things, and it's certainly a bless not to be involved in such tragedies, but we all suffer in our own different ways and measures. Regarding motivation, know this: you won't find an answer to that, unless you search for it (I'm going to get the Nobel and the Oscar for that one). And may I add, motivation is a self inflicted behaviour. Most people act for pleasure; plain pleasure. I have a friend who finds happiness in Actionscript, PHP, ASP, JASP and every web based programming language. His motivation is to beat those languages, master them, and feel like a "man" because of it. Try not to follow him, but explore yourself, your interests, set a goal, one suitable for you (I haven't looked into those velvet rooms enough to be able to tell something more specific about you), also, search for something that allows you not to be you as you know yourself (I think I want my Nobel right now). A change in the conditions helps to discover things deeply hidden on us. Good luck and cheer up, and take care of that depression, it is wise to keep an eye on those, better check with the doc once in a while, if only for the ride and the conversation. My beloved Mercedes knows very much about this, so do I. ------------- ¡Beware of the Bee! |

That's exactly how I try to be Cuncuna. I'm not depressed anymore either, so that's not really an issue. I wholeheartedly agree with you and I do try to be myself and follow my own ideas, I've always been like that. Oh and yes, I do always smile, I'm never sad, because I always find something to smile about, even in tough times, that's the way I am. I think you deserve that Nobel Peace Price! -------------
