For
millennia we’ve been asking the wrong question.
“Why are we here?” is as interesting and relevant
as “what’s your star sign?”.
There is no “why”, there is only IS.
We were not sent here on a mission,
or with a purpose or a function.
There is no celestial Headmaster
handing down life lessons to be studied.
There is no final exam to be passed or failed.
There is no spiritual scorecard to be reviewed when we die.
And there is no eternal reward or punishment awaiting.
We simply live,
in this world,
alongside all the other
people and animals and plants.
The question is not “why?”, but “how?”.
How best to live a life,
how best to carry on,
How best to simply BE in the world?
