What is it that us humans desire most, of and from our lives, our mortal and, when confronted with the enormity of the Cosmos, or, on a lesser scale, our universe and galaxy, our insignificant lives?
What is that we harken for, if not to achieve significance and purpose to our lives?
We be mortal and destined to die, as are all other living species. So it is only natural that we should aspire towards achieving immortality.
Have you ever, during your life to date, find yourself thinking? 'What is the purpose of life, and, if we are born only to die, then, when why?
I mean, what has the intervention, the evolution of us humans upon the earth, benefited it?
Or, indeed, what has our existence benefited any other living creatures, animal or plant, which exist or has existed on the good planet Earth?
What value have we blessed them or it with? What would have been their loss.
Had our species, not existed and made the actual and imagined advancements we have made, since we ceased to walk on all 4 limbs?
We be insignificant, in comparison to other aspects of the universe, so we endeavour to achieve significance.
We see to be lacking in any enduring and overarching purpose to our existence. So we search for and latched onto a purpose which we hope and wish will someday replace our impermanence with permanence.
And how do we humans, or, it seems most of us humans, go about endeavouring to fill this apparent - because there is no certainty that it actually exists - and historically imposed hole, 'a black hole', in our lives?
To be continued!
