why are you alive?

[etilit]

its a stupid q...but think about it a sec...why?

 

[tigerpad]

I don't know the answer. I would say why not, obviously its happening anyway and all by itself. But people are always wanting to know "why?" How did it come to arise that i'm here right now?
The problem seems to come about when you take youself "you" to be what you really are, many people don't know what they are to start with, other than what they see staring back in the mirror. When you were born into human form, our beingness becomes attached, first by "I am John, I am a male", we are identifyed with our bodys, this is all reinforced from life and we begin to become more and more an individual through its conditioning, from our parents, schools, and pretty much nearly everything in life our minds are conditioned, and of cause not only are our minds conditioned but also our bodys eg. lungs conditioned to breath the air, heart conditioned to pump the blood to feed the muscles that are conditioned to move our legs that are conditioned to walk the earth.
In our minds we really become a experience of all our conceptions. Its not that you are seeing the world how it really is, you are seeing the world how you take yourself to be.
To come up with a reason why we are alive I could only guess that, for some reason our beingness, our awareness is fascinated with experiencing itself and by identifying with our bodys minds, you can see it becomes necessary this way for it to get a taste of experiencing devertity.

Enjoy the live, thats the most important thing.

 

[Tjerk12]

The main reason is that my body did not die.

 

[RefixnarcisM]

To give myself and others happiness.

Not a stupid question.. In fact the answer (or as close to an answer we can get) to that question totally depends on the person and his religious, philosophical or cultural inclination.

Many may say they are alive to serve a Deity, some may suppose that we are alive out of pure coincidence, others believe we are alive just to die in the end. While there are those who believe that we as humans need a few more centuries to achieve what we are intended to do on earth.

In essence, why we are alive or exist is and will always remain a mystery - as life, in general, is so much more significant compared to our existence, and the longer you think about it more puzzling questions would arise.

In my opinion, I am alive because despite my insignificance in life, I consider life significant enough for me to persist to the end.

I'm alive because of my parents, that's it. It wasn't something I chose, but either way I hope to experience life even though it can be cruel and filled with suffering. But don't get me wrong, I don't want to kill myself.

 

[brandonizer]

To accomplish my goals i've recently set and to prove to myself that love actually do exist for me to claim it

The Biological evolution began millions of years ago (long before the invention of the gods).

 

[kurt]

you ask the best questions.

I'm alive because I choose to be so. I dunno what's to come but I want to know. So I'm staying alive

 

[BigBenni]

Too discover the world and to actually be here

 

[turkeyman]

I am alive because of my parents who have both died. My only hope in this life is to in some small way do something good for mankind and love everyone as an equal because in my eyes we are all striving for the same thing in life. LOVE, PEACE, AND HAPPINESS..............C:C:heart:

Why aren't you dead yet?

 

[Jay0173]

Well, I'm alive because one day my mother and my father, who were completely enamoured with each other, decided to have sex. The results of which led to my conception. And since my mother, who did not believe in abortion, carried me within her womb until the day I was ready to pop out into the world, here I am.

As for my purpose, for all I know, it could be to make funny faces to cheer people up. All I can do, is be the best person I possibly can, and in some way contribute to society.

Why aren't you dead yet?

Although seemingly simple, is more difficult to give this answer. :thinking:

 

[alexfot55]

Probably because my time has not come yet.
