Do you ever ponder our purpose?

What Mysteries Does Your Life Hold?

Do you ever ponder the timeless question...why do we exist? What are we doing on this planet? This website is dedicated to the philosophical ramblings that we have on occasion when we take a break from the rigorous, sometimes monotonous, fast moving, non-stop pace of life that keeps us plugging away and moving forward. We occupy ourselves with our daily tasks, pick a religion to believe in, and settle down in contentment, ignoring the questions that can't be answered. Unfortunately, for some of us, that's not enough. We want to know what the heck we're doing here, where we came from, and what the future holds for us. In other words, if there's any reason at all, and I like to believe there is - why do we exist?

It's in the details

There's been many a night, following a party, where a group of us has gathered and spent hours philosophizing. It's fun, and we often uncover new theories and explanations as to our purpose on this planet. But the next day it's back to the grind, and we postpone our questioning and wondering until the next time we take a break from our daily tasks. Problem is, our ponderings would often be forgotten, as we wouldn't be writing them down. That's why we started this website - we want to build it into a community where users can post their thoughts on existentialism, and other related subjects.

A wide range of topics

Topics can range from the macro level involving the creation of the universe, black holes, etc. to a more micro level and how are daily lives are impacting our purpose. Who should be our next President, for example? How will his or her leadership affect the choices we make, and thereby affect our actions and the degree to which we live out our purpose? Just about every issue can have an impact on our reason for existing, as can every action we take in our lifetimes. Therefore there are no topics that are off topic. We do, however, ask that you always keep the fundamental question in mind - what is our purpose? And try and relate your discussion to this fundamental question.
