What is the Purpose of Life?


The "purpose" very word itself mean nothing if the subject do not have the thinking ability. For example, can a stone ask another stone what is the purpose of being a stone? No! Then to have a purpose it has to be a person or a life. Otherwise, there will never be a word purpose. ( I hope you understand what I mean) Because the purpose will be validated only with the association with the pursuer.

Therefore, a purpose can be there when a thinker is there. then there will be a forward flowing path but there never can be a final goal. If there be a final goal, then we will be back in the square one! what is the purpose of the purpose of achieving the goal?
Therefore, the "purpose" only can be, a never ending flow of events to validate the purpose. Otherwise the purpose of the purpose is no purpose.

Then, when you apply the above concept to the life, there is no finite purpose in life. There only can be reoccurring or never ending flow of events.

So, what is this never ending flow or reoccurring events? That is nothing but fulfilling the desire of our sensory organs! As the desire could never be fulfilled permenantly, the purpose will be there forever.
That means, we are living because we need to fulfil our desire of our sensory system and that urge has become the very purpose of life.
One can also present this as to be happy. But the fundamental source for the desire to be happy is our sensory organs.

The sensory system included, five senses plus the Brain.

Just imagine that if we do not have any of the above six senses, do we care if we are in heaven or hell? and there is no purpose of anything at all. it is just like being a stone. Nothing else!

Brain Switches


Brain and its functions are equally mysterious and it is unimaginably complex. 

However, we all know that every person is an individual and their talents and capabilities are completely unique in each and every way you look at it.
It is these features finally decide the personality of the person and mostly decide the outcome of the person's life and future.
If you take few individuals to do a same task or same type of studies,  you will notice that not only that they do it in their own unique way but also some have special talent or interest on any particular subject or skills than the others. 

Now, if you take any human brain out of many you will see they all are same almost same weight and same anatomy.
If that is the case how this could happen?
well.. my answer for this is that each individual brain is preconfigured when a person is born, to give certain characteristics to each person. This makes us who we are as each individual person.


Therefore, some may be talented in philosophy, music and other could be talented to be great mathematicians so on.

 

Also I believe that every brain is capable of every talent but there some particular talents or capabilities are turned on or off by default.

Also I believe that in rare cases, some of these brains have “malfuncions” due to some reasons. You can find these examples as autistic people. These malfunctions could sometimes represented by missing some important social skills, learning difficulties etc. And also we can find them as extraordinary people such as autistic savants who are extremely talented in special skills like music, mathematics etc.

 

These malfunctions means they are missing important social and other compulsory switches switched off but instead some of the capabilities are not only switched on but also their process power settings are turned to an optimized level.

 

N.B. Please be aware that these ideas are not made through any scientific discoveries or observations nor copied from any one else’s ideas. These are results of some of my thought experiments and analysis.

How does astrology work?


Well..! I have had a thought about the same question. but I think that we are in a constantly moving and inter connected system since the big bang. if the big bang is similar to a lottery ball container with a force to move the balls inside, then if we have reliable techniques to calculate every single ball's movements and subsequent hits and linear / non linear movement with other balls. we should be able to precisely tell what ball hit where at a given instant so that we should be able to accurately predict the outcome of the winning numbers.
in the same way this whole universe is a box of lottery balls, which each and every action and even our thought is happening due to linear and non-linear chain reactions till the end of chain reaction. eventually one day stop all everything.
we can apply chaos theory and butterfly effect to this. same way as we can calculate and predict the exact spot where a linear projectile will fall, we should be able to predict the nonlinear actions and therefore predict the future.
if we be smart we can predict the future by using just one or two attributes which related to any given incident.
for an example as we can predict an engine malfunction by listening to a engine's noise. The noise dose not control the malfunction but it is an attribute to the process.
In the same way, wouldn't the astrology's planetary positions be an indirect indication to a future outcome?

Hmm..! Whad do you think about it?
