Absurdism

 

Is life “absurd”? In other words, does life make sense? YES. We were put on this earth to help it evolve. We are what make the earth keep going. We keep the cycle of reproduction and evolution ongoing. Humans build construct buildings, keep businesses running and reproduce, Plants and animals maintain the wild life.

Does life have a meaning or purpose? If so, what is it? How do you know this is the purpose of life? YES. Everyone is different yet we all seem to connect. We all have to do our part to keep earth alive as well as everything in it. Our main purpose in life would be to live reproduce to keep the species living. People shape the future. Just like the government. Whatever they decide to do now will effect the present and future. We make all the changes.

Was there a purpose (or essence) to life before you got here? Or did you exist before you purpose existed? YES. Before I existed I was a baby inside my mom’s womb and before that, I was my mother’s purpose of existence. My mom wanted to have a baby and planned to have me to start a family with my father. Or I could’ve been a unicorn in my past life who know???

Without a purpose or meaning to life, could there still be a reason to live? YES. We don’t need a purpose to live. What if we were created just to fill up the earth. To make it look busy and excited. Maybe we were created to search for our own purpose in life. Everyone follows their own dreams. There is no manual that we follow on how we should live our lives. You are the one to decide what path you take in life and what you make of it.

Does it matter whether or not there is a god or some higher, all powerful, all-knowing force that created and controls the universe? NO. I don’t think it matters because its not like we can see it/ them. We will never be for sure who/ what created us. So, might as well just appreciate that we are here and move on.

What happens to you when you die? Is there life after death? How do you know? I believe that once your dead, your dead. Does it really matter if you keep “living” after death? What do you live for, if you can live forever? Why would you want to? I don’t know. Resurrection. Nobody knows if you are going to be resurrected after you die. So why bother with the impossible.

Does it matter what happens after we die? Would you live your life differently if you knew you were never going to die? It doesn’t. You probably went even know you die when you are reborn. You’ll think that it’s the first time you were being born.

Is it possible to create your own meaning for life? YES. That’s what everybody does. Everybody is different. Someone can decide to be a criminal or a lawyer, A designer or a football player. Who knows? You know?

If you could create your own meaning or purpose for life. What would it be? YES. It would be to full fill complete happiness. To have no memory of any tragic event that occurred in my lifetime and go on in life being happy as can be successfully and emotionally. Off with the bad and on with the good, go to college, get married, start a family, have my dream house and car, save money, take vacations, have a room full of shoes, help the needy. That to me is the life.
