my first morning back to work. too deep for me right now. i will try to read again later :)
I always thought it was to procreate.
I exist because my dad thought my mom was hot, and she thought he was cute.Then there's some stuff about sperm & an egg & all that, but it was my mom and dad, so that part is gross.
I dare everyone right now to think of their parents having sex.
Ha! No, it was not, Barb...blame Phil:)

We are here to think, meditate, dream, get angry, love, hate, set goals, work, laugh, cry, see, experience, enjoy, suffer.... in other words - to live.
To be is to do---KantTo do is to be--Socrates
Do be do be do be do--Sinatra.
That sums it all up as far as I'm concerned.

Yes, the answer is 42. But what is the question?

Larry wrote: "That's the process, not the reason."So you want the metaphysical stuff. I'll stay out, then, since I believe we're all just pieces of meat, like any other animal. We have certain advantages, is all.
I think we get to decide our own reasons for our existence. Which is an exciting thought, and just a little bit scary! :)
Some of us have excuses rather than reasons.
But why do you find it fascinating that we assume there is a why?
