Our common purpose in this existence (#1496)

It has taken me most of my lifetime to realize this but in essence our common purpose is to advance our human species. Through society and shared knowledge we are most able to do that. Sure we are to enjoy the occasional excitements of fun and thrill, however, our goal and singular purpose has to be on our creating innovative and just ways as our heritage. We cannot just be the takers here, reaping the benefits of those who fought and strove to attain for us, we must also be the givers and add to the benefits for the future generations of our species. There is an equilibrium in sharing in prosperity as long as we are adding it back in for the next person down the line. There has to be an intellectual capture we must all recognize and being a part of the unbroken chain of humans that forwards our advancing continuum into the great unknown with as much information and understanding as possible is our only path to maintaining human life. Throw out whatever we conceive as the future and only focus on what we can do today to make today and tomorrow better. The irony here is that many will say they see a future of this and that and I say if you can conceive of such a complex imagining, how is it you cannot take the same process and apply it to what is happening right now? If we are so sure of our beliefs and recognition's that we order our lives with such precision, why is it not the case that doubt is impossible? Because all things are clouded in doubt, so no one way of seeing the future is absolute, however one thing is certain to all degrees, we must continue to advance our society of humans if we wish them in the future to have a future.
