* * *“Achievement of your happiness is the only moral purpose of your life, and that happiness, not pain or mindless self-indulgence, is the proof of your moral integrity, since it is the proof and the result of your loyalty to the achievement of your values.”
* * *“People create their own questions because they are afraid to look straight. All you have to do is look straight and see the road, and when you see it, don't sit looking at it- walk.”
The purpose of morality is to teach you, not to suffer and die, but to enjoy yourself and live.
Quotes from Ayn Rand.
It's what you do while you are here, that will answer the question why am I here. Which can only be figured out in the end. - ether circa just now.

We try our best to assemble a comfortable life that makes the most sense to us based off of what we know, while utilizing the resources that we have available.
Its tough to imagine living in a world without the internet, or intercontinental travel within a day, or horizontal miniature rockets that comes out the barrel of metal objects.
or knowing about atomic particles and the human Genome project. All these discoveries by MAN.
Either you rolling or you get rolled over.

What's the purpose of a man with 3 kids, a wife, and a big house that is also a serial killer behind closed doors? to prove the devil's a liar
The answer lies within each of these men......and each of you. We create our own purpose to being alive......I'm sure the birds covered with oil and dying a slow, horrific death wonder what it all means......and the answer is harsh......
the answer isn't harsh, the reality is, knowing the dangers that come along with drilling for oil hell even the war over oil still prolly hasn't prompted you nor me or anyone else to boycott the use of oil (guess its safe to say sh!t HAPPENS)
There is no meaning. We live to live.....we live in a nihilist world. I believe in a life after death personally, but I doubt even our after life will have a purpose or meaning behind it.
