Why are you here?

by **White Spider** » Sat Jul 19, 2014 1:55 pm

Not here as in NSG, here as in existing.

What's your purpose? What gives your life meaning? Why bother with it all?

I've not figured it out myself. I occasionally think i've got it figured out but that passes.

Have you got it all worked out?

Well, when a mommy and a daddy love eachother very much, they... no, I can't do it. Can someone please take over?

Life has no meaning.
Life is nothing.

I think I like existing better than the alternative.

They pray to god so a stork can bring a baby down.

Why put up with it? Why preserve your life?

For no apparent reason except I was wanted.

It's fun, and the alternative is scary.

Why?

Not existing seems like it wouldn't really leave you any room to feel hard done by by the change in state.

But they will call animal control if a regular stork comes down instead.

But where does the cabbage fit in that?

Something oozed and then something went "gloop". Then there was some amino acids, that whole incident with giant lizards, and then monkeys getting ideas above their stations, and here I am.

Hi.

Hi.

It's a short OP. It's not a trial to read.

Not existing is not existing. As something that exists I would like to keep existing. Is the act of not existing not something you would want to avoid?

Im here because reasons.

Not existing isn't something I fear.

Did you want me to be more succinct?

I'm here because the rules of the Universe permit me to be here. Beyond that, there's no other reason.

But other people may fear it.

You're not the existentialist type?

Well, they remove articles of clothing, hormones and bloodflow increase, and... [construction sounds drown out this part]... and then a zygote is formed. Once that happens, a fetus grows.

I imagine it wouldn't feel like anything.
