the meaning of life??

[melancholyaggie]

so i was thinking about life while departing from the Firestone swim meet this evening (which we lost miserably), and i concluded that there is no real purpose why we are living. in the beginning of time, there were no schools or toilets or traffic lights or televisions. there was just earth, complete with untamed land and dangerous water. hell, people didn't start-off wearing clothes either. we traveled around naked with out caring what we looked like. fat was the old skinny. if you were fat, you were sucessful and well fed and were the best candidate for reproduction. survival of the fittest. we did what we had to inorder to survive. we lived in groups and ate and slept and had babies. that was our life. that was all we did. no school or t.v. or concerts or work. we learned from seeing and doing and repeating. instinct. trial and error. whatever made us turn into the people we are today? who thought that trading sheep and goats weren't enough, and that we should use currency? or that we should go to school for eight hours a day and sit threw lectures about frog anatomy? maybe school was created to open our minds and let us decide which career field would be right for us. do you want to be a neuclear physicist or a seamstress? a german teacher or an athletic trainer? if you believe in a Creator, great. then maybe there is a purpose. i mean, would Adam and Eve really have been happy living in Eden? having everything they would ever need would be boring and almost meaningless. maybe the Creator was bored one day and was like "whoa i have an idea! why don't i make living, breathing creatures in the likeness of myself and rule their lives!" (oh, and isn't it a little self-centered that we were in His own likeness? counden't he have made us with some creativity?) well, what ever happened, we are the outcome. the product. only not so finished. where something starts, it also ends. what goes up must come down. someday, we will not be here anymore. maybe my generation will be dead by then, i don't know.
but it will be interesting no matter what happens..
