One of the things that I find interesting as a human, which I believe most people will agree on this, is the fact that we do not have a purpose to live. In theory we should all just kill ourselves and end this ridiculous hamster wheel known simply as "Life". Although that in itself is a cynical point of view, I am cynical in nature, and most of the world's populous would not approve of that previous statement. Yet, what then is our actual purpose to live and prosper and continue this vicious cycle? The only answer that I have been able to find is simply found in our own human mortality, death.
There are numerous times, whether during the day or key periods in my life, where I ask myself, "Why should I even bother continuing to live?", and death is always the deciding factor. I find that by living my life with the thought of death looming overhead with every decision it makes the outcome all that much more fulfilling. I mean, if you constantly say, "Wait, I will die eventually, possibly now", you will always make decisions that will fulfill your life to the fullest and most appreciative. At the same time though you must take this life motto, theory, concept, whatever, with a light heart and a strong mind.
If everyone in existence started thinking with this mentality, pardon the language, the world would go to shit. No one would even want to think about tomorrow when they could die today. We would have people robbing, killing, raping, etc. and the world would be in an even worse condition. That is why you must take this idea and think long term with it. What do I want to do with my life? What is my ideal career? How far do I wish to take my education? If you realize that your time on this world is, in reality, short then you will start to take action. Instead of sitting around doing nothing with your life you might instead get up and go out into the world and make something of yourself. Well, at least that is what I did. Remember though this is just my own personal mentality and I am by no means trying to push this idea on anyone. This is more of just a fluid thought played our in words that could possibly help someone else out there. Cheers mates.

You make some good points! I agree totally with you on the purpose - there is none. I think that a lot of people mistakenly tell themselves that their only purpose is reproduction - to find a mate and copulate, and I think it also explains why there are so many failing and unhappy marriages abounding the landscape. They become unhappy because they told themselves that yes, things might suck now, but eventually they will have done their part for the species - if only it were that easy!
The reason i belive we are here is for us to be happy. As you know i have always lived my life according to my own code and that is what needs to happen in this world quite careing about the stupid shit and life and just concentrate on being happy not so much happy but atleast content there is no true happieness in this world. So just relax and take note while i take take tokes of the marijuana smoke.
