Our purpose in existence (#1528)

No one knows for sure. We have many who don't even question what we are doing here, let alone question the purpose for it. It seems to me that given the fact that we are a sense based organism, that we would be about gathering understanding. It is the "Occam's Razor" approach, being that the simplest answer is usually the correct one. We are sensory beings, that which is defined most understandably as seeing, hearing, touching, smelling and tasting. We are on a planet that allows us to survive on it since it has the necessary elements for us to do so. So although we are not limitless in our time here we can record and pass along our findings in such a way that a history of our time here is being recorded. These are facts and cannot be disputed. From this base I can assume and even more than assume that we have a purpose that is defined by our information gathering. On this blog site, one of the two complex and one simple natures I prescribe to we humans is our curiosity. It is natural to admit this as true since all the facts of our essence shows that we are gatherers of information. What goes against our natures to gather information is the idea that our limits are defined by unknown forces that cannot be shown to exist. We are in a mattered material world. Not an illusionary one. We are made of matter that is real and tangible as well as our existence is made of matter that is real and tangible. Our task here in this existence is stretch our boundaries of knowledge to new limits without ever stopping. We are a relentless entity, survival is another natural instinct within us that craves it's allowance. Although we are emotional and funnel that into our nurture, we are primarily the curious beings we are meant to be.
