What Are We Here For?

It is said that man has this knack for asking the reason behind anything. The word "why" wasn't invented accidentally - it only shows that as creatures men think about almost anything. and the most inquisitive ones wouldn't take the simplest answers. I always asked myself "why am i here?". do i have some purpose? am i predestined to portray some special role in this life? so many questions, questions that i never did bother to ask until i saw my face one day in the mirror - 24 years old and still i have nothing to show to prove that i have done something enough to earn at least a niche in history. Have you asked yourself the same question? What are you here for?

I dont waste my time chasing answers to questions that can never be answered such as why im here or if i have some special and unique perpose to be here. I try and forge and create the answer through my own actions and my own accomplishment rather relying on someone or something to provide the answers.

right on the money, darkness01! it really is difficult when someone else's trying to put you in a box and say who or what you should be. in reality, if we ourselves do not exert our outmost to be what we like to be - that's the time that we will never find the answer to that one bugging question. all the while, as we pursue things we really love - that's the time we find the true answers. ;)

I don't know what I am here for. Maybe, there is not a reason for me to be here. But, as my main life's objective, I try to be as good as my father. He always battled to have everything he has, and I am going to try too. I'm going to battle. And, of course, have the victory in mind. But I don't think there's a purpose.
