I'm developing an idea on what turns me on in life, the mechanism that pulls air into my lungs, and pull my lips into a smile. What drags my sick and tired corpse out of bed every morning.

It's the purpose – whatever that means.

The purpose of life must be existent and present, lingering on some level of conciousness in your mind, in order for you to exist. For without and existing purpose – what is the purpose of existing?

My next bulletin on the blackboard of life will therefore be to locate my purpose. A fear resides beneath my skin, however. Fear clawing, screaming and cursing; I fear the search will last a lifetime.

And should my fear have validation to prevail; what is then the purpose of existing?

Sounds like one of those beginning inserts to a book. And it's really nice; the dark edge is captivating.

Wow. I won't lie and say I completely understood this, some of it went over my head. But I think that proves you've written well :XD:

It certainly raised some questions about the whole existence shebang in my head. Mind you, I think they've always been there, but this piece really makes me unsure about everything... even a little uneasy...

Or you can take the nihilistic aproach which claims that there is no purpose to life, and we should merely focus on being happy. Of course, I disagree with the second part, and believe that we should create a purpose because, like you said humans cannot seem to advance (the neccesity of survival) without a purpose for it.

I agree, my main goal in life is to be happy, but it's extremely unfulfilling, because lfie goes up and down and there is no such thing as perfection. So you'll never fully accomplish it. I'm looking for another purpose to keep me going.

Thanx for the comment ^^

Very philosophical, very real.

Purpose is indeed a very funny word, especially if you combine it with "the purpose in life". There are so many, and no two purposes are the same, even if their lives look the same.

I think you managed to nail that philosophical question down to a T, here. Very nicely done. *nods*
