Angel, what’s your opinion then?

Not sure we have a purpose..

Not even sure we should be here,I mean what good have we done to the world..

We are not needed here ,the world would be a much better place without us..

We pollute,and it’s not only killing us but everything around us too

We ruin the rainforest and make a lot of species “homeless”

We kill each other ,a lot of time for no reason other that the colour or the skin,our sexual believes,our religion,jealousy,drugs ect..

Maybe our purpose in life is to ruin a planet,move on to the next one and start all over again

Do you think that learning to give and receive LOVE could be a part, if not all, of our purpose?

To Jonny and Julesdogg, I know you’ve got some differences guys but this arguing is ruining the general buzz of the place!!

Why don’t you PM each other and try and get to know each other a little better rather than flaming one and other on the threads? You might not want to but this shit belongs on SJ not on here!

You never know you might have alot in common and if that don’t work don’t respond to one anothers posts!?

Just my two cents worth:love:

Obviously life is real. No one can deny that the world exists and people exist. You live, eat, sleep, breathe, and move. But do you understand why you exist?

Not necessarily. Life, “as we know it,” may or may not be real. Sure WE live, eat, sleep, and move, but so do the characters of the popular game The Sims, and they are not “real.” Who is to say what truely is real and what is dream/illusion?:wtf:

Hmmm, not so sure about the Sims analogy J. I know what you’re alluding to though and I tend to agree that whilst the common view is that reality is the product of our senses, the truth is that our senses actually obscure reality. All said, I do realise that this is a question that has no satisfactory answers, but it can be interesting to knock ideas about.

Allow me to explain the analogy then. The Sims, a mock reality game where it’s user controls every aspect of their character’s life. You tell them when to eat, sleep, bathe, go for walks, shop, and control where they go. My thought was, “what if our world is like this? what if our ‘free will’ is just our user not playing us at that time? that we do what we’re ‘commanded’ to do. that a being (not a god/goddess), along with the rest of it’s kind control this entire world.”:crazy:

But ya, you got the main point.

J, ok, first time round the ‘sims’ anaology seemed to be posing ‘Reality vs Illusion’. Now you’ve explained it’s more like ‘Free Will vs Determinism’

Both are interesting and on-going philosophical debates. I guess there are no real answers to these but for the record; on the question ‘reality v illusion’ I think it’s both and on ‘free will v determinism’ it’s both again. Or, more accurately, it’s both, neither, one, and the other simultaneously. :crazy:

J, damn they are tough enough questions one at a time!

Keep it simple eh 😉

BTW, you got the answers? I’d love to know what the fug is going on.

even if there are answers, i wouldn’t know them because i too am stuck in “reality.” but your answer . . .

. . . is pretty much the only concievable answer possible.

i realized something . . .the more you think about it the harder it becomes. in truth it seems to be both of each. limited general determinism but granted periods of free will. the illusion of reality is our reality.

if clarification is needed just ask. i can’t controll what rants out of my random open mind but i can explain it.:you_crazy

i remember a time when i was younger and this ‘higher purpose’ question had never occured to me. its not even a question that can be answered, so when i thought about it i would get really sad.
