An irreverent Aussie I once met put it like this:
"Mate I'm here for a good time ,not a long time"
He spent less time navel gazing and more time living his life than most people I've met.
Sentience in a double edged sword. It means we can understand and enjoy much. However,it also allows formation of the conceit that we should and do matter, not only as a species,but as individuals.
The purpose of life is itself. If you lack sand to accept that,try religion or feel free to leave at anytime.
Once the last person who knew me dies, it will be as if I had never existed.It is so for most human beings.
A favourite quote, from a tomb in Pompeii
