Last night I realized the reason for the existence of the world...
All in a dream.
Why are people addicted to some video games?
Because of the challenge of attaining a higher score/level of achievement.
We are never happy with mediocrity in our lives.
Always dissatisfied with the present state of things.
Forever striving for something better.
If we knew how everything in our world works, including the why's and when's to go with it, imagine how our day to day lives would be. There would be no motivation to do anything.
So, the reason for the presence of the world is for us to learn.
To learn about all the possible intricacies in nature.
It is a seemingly never-ending process of discovery, which will keep human beings ever-hungry for more. The challenge never ends! The more we know, the more we want to know.
Some things we may never know - because of the limitations of our life spans as well as the missing body of concrete knowledge accounting for the past - and these will remain at the pinnacle of achievements.
What if at the pinnacle of knowledge is virtually an unknown - which is also unprovable?
This challenge of finding the truth may actually be overcome. The solution that many have found, I realized is in Faith. Not necessarily religion. Maybe the world exists as a way to distract us from the real challenge, which lies in realizing the purpose of our existence, rather than that of the circumstances of our existence.
Gaining an end to this pursuit is essential...
and we can see glimpses of success...
in everyone who has lived and dies.
But this is another thought for another time...
