Life Part II

Ok, so I have defined life from in part I, now I have a real question; “What is our purpose in life?” Life is a mystery, life is precious, and life is expendable. When one looks at the purpose of life, one should look at it in a broad sense and then slowly narrow it down to a more personal perspective. On a broader sense the purpose of general life is to maintain the universe as we know it, the cosmic energy forces that are around us. The purpose of life from a scientific perspective is: The balance of an eco system, a cycle that goes through stages, a cycle and a phenomenon that most coin as nature.

Nature is the system that binds life, especially here on earth. When narrowing it down life can be branched into smaller segments:

1) Micro Life

2) Plant Life

3) Animal Life

4) Human Life

Micro Life must exist; these are elements as tiny as a single atom. They bind together to form molecules and in turn serve a specific function. They are needed for the consummation of larger life forms such as Plant Life. As weird as it may seem without Micro Life, Plant Life would not exist, and without Plant Life, Other Life would not exist.

Plant Life is essential to the nurturing of mother earth; it is via plant life that oxygen (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxygen) is produced. Plant Life co-exists with Animal and Human life and serves as the raw material for all consummation. Plant life is essential for filtering the air by providing Water to the land masses, and absorbing it for growth and development.

Animal Life is highly important to Nature. Animals are considered “A multicellular organism that is usually mobile, whose cells are not encased in a rigid cell wall (distinguishing it from plants and fungi) and which derives energy solely from the consumption of other organisms (distinguishing it from plants).

A cat is an animal, not a plant.”

Animals sole purpose of survival is the consummation of other animals or plants, once again this is apart of nature’s system. Therefore without Plants animals would not exist. Therefore the purpose of plants is to be consumed by animals and cleanse the earth. Note plants were here first, and then came Animals.

Human Life is very complex. I am human therefore I know exactly what I mean. We begin with History: Humans were created to worship God (a religious perspective); their purpose was to worship God in the Flesh and Spirit. They were designed to cultivate and populate the earth. From a scientific perspective Humans evolved from Animals, which actually came from Micro Life. These are philosophies of the late Charles Darwin (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_darwin), with his controversial theory called Evolution. Note Evolution deals with how we got here not necessarily why we got here. The religious perspective is the opposite I guess.

Seeing our existence as Humans and it is humans that will be reading this article (I should think so, unless there is an intergalactic high frequency scanner that channels into the internet for observation of human intelligence by higher life forms for the purpose of cultural infiltration, ha ha), it is essential that we break this topic into categories.

1) Our Spiritual Purpose

2) Our Physical Purpose

3) Our Cultural and Social Purpose

Humans have the instinct to worship a higher being, it is the need to be comforted and guided and most of all connect spiritually with other humans. Our spiritual purpose is really to acknowledge the existence of a higher being and follow that being’s philosophies or teachings; it is by these teachings that govern how humans should live until they die.

It is because of our spiritual sense, that humans have coined Religion, which really is a set of protocols that reflects the philosophies of that higher being. There are many religions and many religious organizations, mostly culturally connected.

Our physical purpose is to build, develop and create a society. It is within this Society that humans must survive, there is a role for every human within a particular society, some considered normal, others considered deviant. It is via the building of a Society we are given a Cultural and a Social Purpose.

Culture is a set of norms that Humans of a particular sex, race or geographic location do what is considered normal within a society. Culture binds humans into groups, groups of people that have their own means of self expression. It is via Culture that we socialize with other Humans either of similar culture or of other cultures. Humans also form Cultures within a culture known as sub-cultures.

It is within these cultures that we connect socially to other human beings via means of communication; words, sounds, dance, music, visual expression etc.

In every culture and society there exist positive and negative factions, one opposes the other, yet both must co-exist e.g. good and Bad, Negative and Positive.

The purpose of my life is to be observant of my surroundings, and to analyze Human expression, to be in tune with technology for the purpose of being more efficient, for the ability to express myself artistically, for the purpose of helping others to develop their lives, for the economic advancement of my society, I guess you get the picture.

I am imperfect and I thrive for perfection, I live and I learn, I also share what I learn and in turn I learn even more. Thank you for reading.
