Why are we here?

Episode 11: Purpose.
My friend Dave the Philosophy major is at it again. His discussion about our purpose being to find the "one truth" and have it revealed to you at death has got me thinking. I think slightly otherwise; I feel that everyone has a specific purpose in the material world, and depending on if you fulfill your purpose or not determines what type of the "one truth" you find in the afterlife. I also think we all have a purpose that affects someone’s life in such a way so that when the end of the world comes we will have all discovered the "one truth".

As farfetched as it seemed, I think even Hitler had a purpose. I think mine is to make others happy. I always feel an unknown sense of duty inside of to make sure my friends feel appreciated or be the one the shows up and let people know the party has begun. I don't mind the material world, but I think once I fulfill my purpose and discover the one truth, I will find out the hell that this - the material world - really is. Because the body is a prison for your soul, it always needs things such as food, and desire. The world outside of this one, where our body is just free flowing thoughts and discovers the "one truth", will provide more happiness then I can ever comprehend - so David says.

I like to believe that is true. I should try hard to make the best of the Material world, but should not give in to my prison. If I have the capacity to make everyone around me happy, but not to be good at math or get with a girl, then so be it. I will just use what I have, and that makes me happy. So if you criticize me for not getting desire or my body tries to do so, to hell with it. I will fulfill my purpose and find my one truth and be happier then anything can be here in the material world. If you decide to not fulfill your purpose or criticize me and prevent me from doing mine, then you can go to hell, where your "one truth" will be pain and despair.

Everyone's connected in some form of an elaborate network. We all effect one another's eventual outcome, while simultaneously finding our own.

You're my 40th cousin.

At least, that's what Silvia Brown would say. :P
In the end, all of us originated from Africa. If all of us weren't connected somehow, we wouldn't look like humans otherwise.
