Humans- Do we have a purpose?

[Terminal Est]

call me a realist but do you all honestly BELIEVE we have something to do here?

Do not look at me!

We live to feed upon the psychology twinky, have sex, mistake it for love and teach our children the same stupid things. XD

Erm, I was going to mention this anyway, but then I saw your post, and actually, I consider better survival a side effect of evolution that allows evolution to occure more rapidly, thus increasing the effect of the increased survival rate, so on and so forth, since probably within a few generations of what may have been abiogenises. It;s a recursive loop.

Also, since evolution has, through the fittest surviving long enough to have more descendants, caused us to struggle to survive long enough to porocreate, our collective purpose in life is to stay alive, as individuals and as a species. (oindividuals, such as suicides or monks, may forgo part or all of their conditioning, but this is the exception, rather than the norm).

If we consider Darwinism, then perhaps it is the norm, after all. I know it sounds mean but, if our only purpose is to survive, then certain people will only serve as scapegoats and beacons to motivate the others through justification, self worth and fear. Influence has much to do with it, and because of our awareness, much of what makes us thrive physically is born of psychological workings.

Example-I am Goth, people will see me in the street and scare their children about me, whom will be influenced and do their homework, become educated and rich in the future, unlike me.

It has nothing to do with your example of monks or suicide, but I do believe that these concepts are related in much the same grand matter for those meant to inherit the future.

You're not wrong, it is useful in increasing the quality of survival for the rest of the species, as your goth example and my suicide example show through motivation, and my monk example shows through personal sacrifice to increase personal, and thus overall knowledge and/or wisdom. I as just looking at it differently, from a statistical point of view rather than a consistency point of view.
