What would happen if nobody lived? If everybody died tomorrow, would it matter? I think it wouldn’t. Sure, everything that everyone is working for has a purpose, but it seems like there is no more purpose to the world and everything in it than we as humans put there.

Why am I in school? To get an education.
Why do I want an education? So I can increase my chances of getting a good job.
Why do I want a good job? So that I can have money.
Why do I want money? So I can enjoy life, and not have to worry about needing to rob banks to pay for all of my disgustingly expensive habits and hobbies.
Why do I have hobbies? Because otherwise my life would be either work or nothingness, and we don’t want that.

It looks like everything that I have done in life serves one ultimate purpose: keep me happy before I die. Even if I do something with my life that serves others, and helps them in their purpose, what is their purpose? Can you think of a single person alive or that has lived whose purpose for living did not somehow serve only the human race (or at least ultimately the human race)?

Many have, do, and will claim that we are here with one purpose: to do His work. Which, as I have come to understand it, is to spread His word. What will that do? Ultimately, what will that accomplish?

Of course, a great deal of this uncertainty comes from the fact that I do not believe that I will exist past the point when electrical currents stop circulating in my brain. For me, that is the end. The ultimate end. Once I think no more, I percieve no more, and I will be no more (personal belief–you, of course, are entitled to your own, same or otherwise).

This is why I say: if we all die tomorrow, what will happen? There will be an Earth (which if you think about it, won’t be Earth, because there will be nobody around to call it Earth) filled with dead people, but who will care? Not I. I will not be able to care. I will be nothing.

In the meantime, I will give my life all the meaning I think it should have, all the meaning that my poor mind can comprehend: to have fun, to love, and to be loved.
Hey, 0 out of 3 aint bad.
