The point of life

Name: Anonymous 2018-09-20 12:52

The point of life is to attain a level of self-awareness and experience so that you can begin to relive your past and undo all the damage the material world has cast upon you. Interestingly, you are born perfect but quickly get poisoned by the world. Thus all you can hope is that you get the opportunity to disentangle yourself from the material desires and emotions and rationalities and return to the perfect state of your birth which you could now call death and a life well lived.

Certain it is that work, worry, labor and trouble, form the lot of almost all men their whole life long. But if all wishes were fulfilled as soon as they arose, how would men occupy their lives? what would they do with their time? If the world were a paradise of luxury and ease, a land flowing with milk and honey, where every Jack obtained his Jill at once and without any difficulty, men would either die of boredom or hang themselves; or there would be wars, massacres, and murders; so that in the end mankind would inflict more suffering on itself than it has now to accept at the hands of Nature.
