Why do we exist? whats the purpose of life? I feel lost.?

2016-10-14 5:46 am
So I love science. Its one of my favorite subjects. My dream was to become an astro-physicist but lately iv'e changed my mind. I've been questioning whats the point? We wake up every morning, go to sleep, eat. Then we repeat the process the next day. I dont get how doing what we are doing is changing the universe in any way. If i sleep and order pizza and shit myself whats that going to change in the universe? (I dont btw, lol) just as an example. And what is life? Why are we even here? Why do we have millions of planets to live on and millions of type of animals in the first place? How do i know what im doing is real... How do i know that im really typing on a computer asking this question right now. It might just all be brain work like the matrix How do i know that other people are real and that your replies are real? I feel like life doesn't add up. And this is all a hallucination... Does anyone else feel like there's something about life, that's missing? or doesn't belong...

So I'll answer your question, but I'm going to lead with saying that I'm a mormon, so if that's a turn off for you, feel free to stop reading now. By default, my answer will have to be based on things the church teaches and the things that I've come to believe about our purpose of being here, though I will try to not to be "preachy" as I explain myself.

I'm like you in that I love science. I'm currently studying neuroscience in college and am planning to medical school once I graduate. Many people think that religion and science are two completely opposite realms of thinking, but taking things I've learned in church about God and things I've learned in school about science, I believe the two go hand in hand. In my mind, science isn't something that disproves the existence of God, but rather is our slow understanding of how God works. I tend to think that God "designed" the universe rather than "created" it, because "creation" to me seems to imply some kind of sudden appearance out of nothing. I think that everything in the universe, all the planets, all the animals, you and me, we were all designed by God with incredible detail.

Now how does that relate to why we are here? Well just like with you or me, when we put effort into making something, we tend to care about it, and usually the more effort we put in, the more we care about it. I believe that same logic would apply to God, and anyone who has studied biology can tell you humans are incredibly complex, so to "create" something like a human being would take an immense amount of effort and work. (For the record, I don't believe God is "magic", so yes, creating things would have to take work and effort. I think He is more similar to you and I than we probably realize, though I also think His level of understanding of how the universe works is so far beyond yours or mine that he may as well be considered "magic" compared to us) Anyways, putting that much effort into something would cause you to care a great deal about it, and I think He really does care about and love each of us. In the long run, I think His goal for each of us is to become like Him eventually, but I think we are here to grow, to learn how to love and how to deal with hardships and any number of other things that we experience here in life because in some way it prepares us to become more like Him.

This is getting long, so if you or anyone else has actually read to this point, kudos to you :) haha but I guess I'll wrap up by saying I certainly do not have all the answers. I think not knowing for certain is part of that growing and learning process. Again, most of this is just my take on all of it (hopefully it all made sense... haha), just a combination of things I've learned going to church and going to school. If this really is a major concern for you, I'd highly recommend checking out the things the mormon church teaches about all of it as they have a pretty unique take on all of it compared to many other churches (and definitely do so by talking to the missionaries or looking at lds.org, there's alot of people who hate mormons for some reason, so there's alot of garbage that you'll find if you try to use general search engines on the internet.) Anyways, hope this was helpful, sorry it was long... haha :)

It is a pity. Each one should teach one. It is for mutual help that we have been created by God. Come back to the mainstream. I think you have gone to a forest to lead a lonely life because of some anger issues.

Those are actually common questions. Too many to answer but if your basing your view of the universe off just the atheist science model then you exist because you can and you give meaning/purpose to life yourself as a sentient being. You choose what matters etc.

This is exactly what happens to me. You start thinking about how we even exist and if anything is real and then you go down a spiral contemplating the human life and consciousness etc etc... This is all normal to think about! HOWEVER, if you feel as if everything is sort of a hallucination and you're living your life in a "fog" you may be suffering from disassociation. Personally, i find that taking each day at a time helps, writing down goals for the day and just generally trying my best to live life in the moment as cheesy as that sounds. And it's ok that you don't know what you want to do yet it's part of life. You just have to take each day at a time and doing what you love will come to you. Best of luck.
