Why are we here?

Do you believe in destiny? Do you believe that everything you do was "pre-destined" and that you're just playing out you're part in the universe? Maybe you do, maybe you don't. Either way i will tell you what i think. I don't believe in God. I don't believe in destiny. But I believe there is something about the whole universe that we can't understand; not like there is another species is waiting in the corners of our universe watching our every move, but that there is some reason, some external factor, some reason to as to why the universes is the way it is. But, we'll get there slowly.

The only explanation we have right now, is that everything just happened by chance.

Imagine, if it were all random, it would mean that if there was even one small change in the whole freaking sequence of things and the result could be entirely different. In fact we are just the resultant branch of some ancestral action which could have gone either way. That is scary.

Lets break it down. It all started with the Big Bang and before it, there was nothing. Puff! The first matter came into existence. It spread, cooled, mixed, interacted and created some basic elements, laws, and matter. All these laws manifested, grew and created other more complex stuff. The process carried on forever. The end result: now, the present, everything and anything. It all branched out from one change, one action, one cause. So all the science and nature we see around us was a product of a string of actions that took place over billions and billions years of time. If we were to go back in time and change one tiny detail in the whole sequence, and well, even your wildest imaginations might not be enough to fathom how the present would've turned out.

So, here we are, a product of some action which could have gone either way. But why are we here? Is there a purpose to our exist? We have answered this question for ourselves time and time over through "the teachings of God", "nature's ways" and through science. But there is fundamental flaw which is common to all of them: they are all perceptions of human beings. That doesn't mean that everything we have seen, touched, heard, and experienced isn't true. It doesn't mean that Einstein's work was useless, or that all science is bogus. It just isn't the whole truth. It is merely one perception of the truth. But, then again isn't "truth" something we created?

So, I ask the most fundamental question. A question that is the source of our intelligence, our knowledge, our power - the question "Why?".

Why are we here? Why did human evolve so much and other species didn't? Why earth? Why not another planet? The questions are endless, so are the answers. In fact, the more specific the question is the better the answer. Try it. The questions "Why earth and not another planet?" has a better answer than the earlier ones. The truth is, there is no answer to this question. There is no true answer. Why is there no true answer? Because there is no truth. Why is there no truth? Because, truth is a human perception. A human creation. It never existed before us. Like God, truth was born was with the human mind. But why is "truth" so important to us? It is simple. It gives our existence meaning, significance and a reason. Something that is very important to our minds. Reason and meaning are the only two things that keep us from sinking into insanity, chaos and limbo.

If you are still asking "Why are we here?", well, haven't you learnt anything yet? Can you not see that that question can never be answered? You can travel to the deepest part of the earth, the farthest corner of the universe. You can go deeper into science, unraveling one mystery after another. You can peel the numerous layers of the onion, you may think that you reached the last layer, but even after the last layer, there is another layer, only it is more complex and alien than the earlier one. Mankind can try as hard as it wants, but there will always be something that cannot be explained "yet". We can go on for millennia, only to realize that all this time we were looking for something that was never there. The truth. It doesn't exist. It is all in our heads. It is all in our language. It is only our perception.

So why ARE we here? I don't know. We just are. The world is the way it is, because that's the way it is. We are the way we are, because "we are the way we are". Ice cream is the way it is, because Ice cream is the way it is. Justin Beiber is the way he is, because he is gay, and that is the way he is.

So the next time you find yourself wondering "why are we here" and you think about my blog, stop yourself right there, distract your mind and get on with your life. :)

Sorry for wasting your time. (Oh, by the way, time is a human perception too. I won't get much into that, because i can see you are already fucking you're mind with that.)
