of things that bother me part I: what the fuck are we all here for

[la_destinazione]

I still clearly remember doing guard duty one hot afternoon when I was still a cadet. My buddy and I were all worn-out from an exercise that week, and it was just foul luck to have to prowl on a weekend instead of sleeping through the weekend (and then wondering why the weekend just flew by hella fast). My buddy and I were prowling around the camp

I don't think we have any real 'purpose' per se as I don't believe in teleology. We have motivations, drives and needs by virtue of our biology and genes, but ultimately those are influences and not purposes. To paraphrase a sentence in the Tao Te Chingm the universe does not live for itself, and so it endures.

yeah that's probably what i subscribe to too; there's no rhyme or reason to suspect we are all here for a greater purpose 'cept our egos, but I guess sometimes it's almost romantic to believe in a greater purpose...
