What is the natural purpose of life?(The natural purpose of one's life is to just live.)

The question  what is the purpose in life is one of the most sought after question with diversified answers. There are of course many theories to the answer of this question meaning there are a lot of answers that are proposed by many to it.

If one looks at things just the way they are, it would be very clear that we humans tend to complicate simple and obvious things.

The purpose of one's eyes is to see, the purpose of one's hand is to manipulate things,, the purpose of one's respiratory system is to oxidize one's blood cells, the purpose of one's tongue is to taste. It is as clear as that. The natural purpose of one's life is to just live.

What is the use of being formal?

Being formal is acting in accordance with a known and accepted way by the majority especially by those who have a say. 

But what is the use of acting formal? Does it have a backside to it? Is it a must to be formal all the time? When is the right time to be formal?

Being formal actually helps one in many ways. It can even be a life savior in certain situations. Being formal reduces the risk of being out of place, confusion that might arise of not knowing what to do in certain situations when among people and gives one a certain direction in what to do in certain situations especially when among people. No matter what one may think, being formal is the way to go if one doesn't want to risk embarrassment and humiliation of making a mistake because formalities usually are tested results that have gone through generations and have shown to be acceptable by the general population in that area.

Formalities being acceptable by the general population, it is hard to falter in situations where one is observed and judged by the general public if one follows the formalities. Even though in civilized areas it may not matter much, in areas where the outlook of the people is not free and civilized it can be a life savior if one strictly follows it. Even in civilized areas it can save one from embarrassment and bad outlook that may come from the population of that area. For example it might be ok for someone to kiss a neighbors little kid in some countries but it might be looked on as sexual harassment in others. 

There are though times when following formalities may cause harm to one that is following them. For example if one doesn't know when to be formal and when to be casual and is formal all the time, one may loose out in the excitements that life has to offer. It can also take over the personality of one and change it into its like and in cases where formalities are based on religion and culture it can engulf and silence the real personality of a person. If one always follows formalities and ignores one's true feelings, one may be dis-attached with oneself. 

What is our purpose in life?

The question "what is my purpose in life?" comes through one's mind quite a few times during one's lifetime.

Many believe that there is a destiny set by a higher power to all of us and they are also many that believe that there is no such a thing as destiny.

Being a human being, it is unavoidable to feel a want for some kind of meaning and purpose. The notion that there is no meaning or purpose would definitely make any human being devoid of something and would leave an empty space in our hearts.

I guess unless we as humans are all knowing, there can't be a definite and sure answer to the question "what is my purpose in life?" One can not say one's ideas about this puzzle is for sure right and the others is for sure wrong because we have yet to know a lot.

We can however go about trying to see this puzzle in a logical way and according to evidences we have and know till date.

According to all the evidences that we human beings have and gathered until now and seeing this puzzle from a point of view of an individual, we may not have been created or made to have or fulfill individualistic purposes. Meaning to say that we as individuals were not created for individualistic purpose and meaning that were preset for us by something else. This is actually according to the insights we have now and may change according to new logical evidences. Even though that may be the case we still are free to have and be devoted to any purpose we choose to have and follow. Also we are free to make any meaning of it all.

When looking at it in a different perspective and not in a perspective of an individual, we were created to fulfill life's/nature's purpose. Meaning to say that life wants to exist and ensure the extension of its existence in this realm now. Not only that, but life also wants to figure all out about this reality through us and for us according to our nature of existence. This is because life is actually us. We are the representatives.

The above notion is a direct result of the scientific evidences till date on the way life exists, reproduces, evolves and on the way how life or evolution reacts to individuals in need and species as a whole. It is also based on logic made by observing the evidences like on what we are as life and what life is itself.

What are feelings?

Feelings are senses that a conscience life form senses. It is a mechanism devised by nature/life/ that enables life forms to feel their surrounding, strive for pleasure in it and run away from dangers in it.

Feelings are actually crucial in making life life. Without feelings, life would be senseless and illogical. So, are feelings real? Of course they are real but they are only real when there is an experiencer or a sensor.

But why do we experience things the way we do? Is that the only way that they can be experienced? Meaning to say, is the sense of burning the only way that fire can be felt? Is sweetness the only way sugar can be fealt?

That most probably is not it. We feel to the tune of the way that is suitable and unsuitable, desirable and undesirable for life to exist in this realm. The extent at which we feel is also the extent at which the action done while feeling is good for our body's survival or bad for it. So it all depends on the sensitivity of the mechanism that nature gave us to be alive which is our body. 

The mechanism that make life exist or mechanisms like us can't exist in cases like extreme heat or cold and hence the feeling of burning and chill and thus discomfort. The differences and distinctions between feelings is for us/life forms to know exactly what is going on when we feel them. The comfort and discomfort which is generally the main objective of feeling is for our conscience or sub conscience to know whether what we are doing is suitable or unsuitable for life to continue its existence at its present form.

What is reality?

It is human nature to ask , wonder and seek the truth. While wondering, one of the topics that raises the highest curiosity on us all would be 'what is reality'?....... So what is it?

Reality is hard to explain but to try, reality is something that can be witnessed or experienced by the beholders. It is also truth and existence. If it exists it is reality.

Reality is arguably debatable and also not certain except for the reality of experience itself. It is arguable that there are many realities outside of ours. Meaning to say that there are things that may exist but we can not experience them because of the page of reality that we are in. Anything that lives in that other page of reality can experience it. Also those on another page of reality cant experience ours.

Reality again is debatable. What some may consider unreal and imaginary may be argued by others as real and that most can't experience them.

So reality is actually uncertain and debatable and the only way that we can be certain of it is by experiencing it. Even then it is debatable whether or not what we experience is actually what we think we experience. The only reality that is not debatable is the reality of experience meaning to say us as life. There is no denying that I exist.

What is moral?

Moral is a set of conviction that a person acquired about life and the way to live. Morals of one steer a person in a way that a person is convicted. Its not only morals that play a role in the way a person lives but also strengths, weaknesses, feelings etc. One sticking to the moral values that one believes in through thick and thin, high and low maybe said to have good moral strength. One choosing moral values that would most benefit one, one's state of happiness and also others may be said to have intelligent and good moral value.

So moral is just a set of rules that one believes is right to follow in life and in situations that arise in life. 

What is moral strength?

What is moral strength? It is nothing but stubbornness. Having a strong moral strength means having a stubborn mind. Having a stubborn mind makes one resistant to other ideas than the morals that one is already indoctrinated with thus giving one the title of having a strong mind or moral.

The laws of physics also work on ideas and thoughts. How can we identify a strong metal and a weak one? It is simply by testing their stubbornness thus their resistance. The same applies to our mind and way of thinking.

So strength means resistance and resistance comes from stubbornness. But having a good moral or an intelligent mind is a whole different issue than having a moral strength and strong mind. Anyways this teaches us that the indoctrinations that our children learn should be watched of with vigil and care. Because a strong mind wont let other ideas come between him and his convictions. But one should not be fooled, that doesn't mean that that is an intelligent mind.

What is life? What are the theories of creation of life?

Life is an entity in a realm that stands as a witness to all things that exist in reality. Life arguably is the only witness there is to existence. It also is a witness to the actuality of existing. It is a witness of existence first and then a witness to existence. One shouldn't get it mixed up.

Life being a witness, is also an expression. It also expresses and has expressions. it is an expression that can also express.

Creation of life 

There are many theories on how life first started. Here are the most acceptable ones by many.

1) The scientific view:- The scientific view of creation is that life began by accident as chemicals and acids and the condition of the environment of the earth at the time mixed up and brewed up the first life forms which are simple cells.

2) The creationism view:- Almost all ancient religions believe that life was created by a higher power even if they differ in the name of the God and also in the specific details of how God or a higher power created it. Here are some major religion's view on how life a higher power created life.

 i) Christianity and Judaism  - According to the holy Bible and the Torah, in the beginning the universe, the world and all that dwell in it was created by God within 6 days.

ii) Muslim:- According to the holy Qur'an, Allah(God) created all living things from water. Islamic view of creation somehow connects with the scientific view but in Islamic point of view Allah(God) deliberately created life and then humans separately from others.

III) Buddhism :- According to Buddhism there is no beginning and and to anything and everything constantly gets recycled.

IV) Hinduism:- Hinduism also shares the ideas of Buddhism. Although different in describing it Hinduism also believes in constant cycle of everything. Although god Brahma is said to have created all in Hinduism, Hinduism believes in constant creation and destruction of everything.

V) Sikhism:- According to Sikhism God created the universe the earth being part of it and life as well. Sikhism believes that life and the universe have been evolving since then.

What is Truth?

Truth is something that is hard to define or underline. Everything in nature being open to argument conceptually, it makes it hard to underline on truth or even conceptualize it. If truth is to be an answer to questions, truth is the correct actuality on all the possible conceptual or experiential questions. If not, generally, truth is an actuality of what is. Yes, truth is just actuality. 

The truth is more understood with certainty by experience rather than conceptually. In fact some argue that anything not experienced may not be true at all. The only way to be sure of the truth is to experience it and there is no other way around it. Even science supports this.

Life is a witness of the truth. Or maybe truth experiencing the truth. How can we know that for sure? Well life is truth since we experience it and can be sure to be actual. Whatever we experience is also the truth since we experience it and can be sure of it. Then logically both are truth.

So what is actually true and what's not? Well the best answer I can give is that there is an old saying "live and learn".

What is the ego?

The ego is a state of awareness that exists mainly in humans and very mildly in animals. It is an existence outside of the physical reality but connected to it because it exists in the process of the existence of the physical existence. It arises mainly of a concern, a concern of what others think of one or even of what one thinks of self and thus a feeling of great shame or great glory when the outcome of what others think about one is felt. Even though the ego is no material, it is a solid existence beyond the control of our conscience.

The ego is very powerful. It can have a major effect on the state of our moods and desires.

As an existence itself, it wants to survive. It wants to survive to the extent that it may even require the death of a person in order to survive. It also somehow gives an illusion that it will survive after the death of the person and as the everliving reminder of that person.
