It's quite likely that we are supposed to live because Mr. Darwin tells us that the world will go nowhere if we don't. Maybe that's why I want to live for my kids. It's certainly not because I have any desire to continue my life for myself.
On my own, if there were no-one else around, I can without reservation say that I would be history. My kids are most important. My one good friend is terribly important. My cat is important. Most everyone around me is important. At one time, my marriage was important, but that no longer exists.
Maybe we're supposed to want to live because all of those things make us feel good, because they're important, and we have the potential to become healthy and to honestly feel all of it. Somehow, Genesis, and God's "And behold it was good" has never really done it for me. I'm hoping too that it might someday.
Maybe what we're really here for is Babble. Perhaps Babble is the reason we're supposed to want to live.
Dee. :-)
