A reason to exist. Do you have one? Ive been thinking about this a lot lately. Why do I exist? Whats my purpose in life?

The idea that if I was gone, next to nothing in this world would change. The sun will continue to rise and set. Some might find that scary, but I find it comforting knowing that Im really nothing in the grand scheme of the world.

Yet, we have to find a personal purpose ourselves. A reason to continue fighting through life. Whats the point? Is it love? We didnt have a choice to be brought into this world, so how do we make the most of our time on Earth?

Fuck. I feel lost as hell right now.

My sister. Her health is declining and I want to take care of her the best I'm able. Otherwise, not really. I'm scared to think what would become of me without her in my life.

To try and discover the reason for existence. If this is impossible, then at least to be able to understand why the underlying truth is hidden from us.

You're right, that is a possibility to keep in mind. If that is the case nihilism will prevail. My present belief is that there must be some explanation for existence, otherwise nothing would exist at all. However of course "Nature has her own logic" so human conclusions like this may always be overturned.

I often wonder what our purpose is as a species. Like we can look inside our body and find living things that serve a purpose to us, but what is our purpose? I also think about how insignificant we all really are. Have you seen that picture the Pale Blue Dot? I look at that, and everything that is and ever was of our species can be seen in a tiny little speck. I try to talk to other people about this, but they think I'm high or something. I don't get high, I just think this shit. Probably something to do with my lifelong problem with depression.

Anyways my reason to live is my family. That's really it, I love them too much to put them through any pain and I know that they need me to take care of them. I've been on the brink of suicide several times in my life, and my love for them is what kept me from going through with it. Now my Dad died back in January and my older brother lives like 20 states away and is even considering a move to Australia, I'm all that my mom and younger brother have. They have significant health issues and I basically do as much as I can for them. My life revolves around them, though as time goes on I am finding ways to be my own person and find my place in this world.

Knowledge, Strength, Wisdom, Truth, Love
these are my five core values

My understanding of the truth, or rather not the truth but a truth (my truth). To see things as they are and treat them as they deserve.

Love...many ask what it is? Acceptance, respect, caring, trust, and kindness. Loving others is wanting them to be happy, successful, and doing what you can to help them be a better person. If anyone wishes to be the first, the same shall be last of all, and servant of all (Mark 9:35). The desire to help others also comes with a desire to improve on yourself.

Knowledge... to see and understand those many possibilities that lie before us, and what can be gained or lost from each of them, but how to choose? That is Wisdom. Every decision to do one thing is the decision not to do a thousand other things. What path leads us forward, and do we have the Strength to walk it? The power and courage to do what must be done. The weak cannot help themselves let alone be able to help others.

What is it all for? Paying it forward. To help others become better people so that they in turn can help the people in their life, and those they help can do the same, and so on and so forth until who is to say what result one instance of kindness or charity can have on the future destinies of humanity?
