The Point

So what is the point? Why are we here? What is our purpose?
Truth is, no one knows the truth. No one has a definitive answer. Just a whole bunch of guesses. So some people believe (and have faith in) some guesses and some people believe in others.

I've never been one for standing firmly on a guess. If I believe something, I need to be able to back it up. The more I can back up a belief, the stronger I believe in it. With that being said, I have to say that I am not a religious person. I don't believe that there is a destiny for everyone that God has laid out before us. I can't back it up. I'm not saying that it is not true. I am saying that I do not KNOW it is true.

What I can back up is the fact that I enjoy being happy. I do not enjoy being unhappy. It is the idea that we gravitate towards pleasure and away from pain.

So what is the point? Why am I here? What is my purpose?
Who knows. Who cares? My life doesn't have a purpose nor do I have a reason to be alive. While I am alive, however, I am going to do as much as I can to keep a smile on my face.

Disclaimer

These are my beliefs. None of them are absolute, not even to me. Some I feel strongly about, some I am still working out.

If you would like to discuss some beliefs, I am always willing to discuss them, though it is much more beneficial if both of us keep an open mind. If you convince me of something that contradicts my previous belief, I will work to find where exactly the contradiction lies and then either reform my beliefs or reform yours.

Please take away whatever philosophies that work for you.
