What is the purpose of human life? What are we supposed to do? How are we supposed to act? Profound questions that we really don't think about but carry a huge impact. Although we have developed into an organized, controlled society, there is a lot of aimless behavior being engaged in. There is no clear indication as to why us humans exist and to an extent it can get frustrating. The only thing certain in life, unfortunately, is death. Does that mean there is no meaning in life and our existence is really absolutely nothing significant?
I do not agree with that. I believe in the saying that life is what you make it. There is no point in declaring your life is of no value and has no meaning if you are not definitively sure. Albert Camus said "You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life". You just have to live life. No one will know the truth about everything until they die, and even then, death is still a mystery itself. Take it exactly for what it is, an opportunity to experience pleasure, build on to the development and evolution of humans, and when dead, give way to another to do the same. Simply put, develop your own purpose for living, disregarding judgment or inquiry.
I thoroughly enjoyed your blog Josh. I believe life is what we make it. Though we might never find if there is a higher meaning or not, we should develop our own purpose.
