Purpose of Life

Purpose of Life~
Improving our shared life through greater knowledge and understanding. It is commonly thought of as a means to an end, but knowledge is a natural process of life that leads to a more meaningful existence simply because it is an existence that can be more fully understood and benefited from. All living organisms, from animalia to protozoa, use knowledge accumulated over generations to survive and further their genetic existence. Over the course of only ten thousand years we have relegated that knowledge to specialized persons, and the average human does not need to place survival in their most pressing priorities. But our minds are still hardwired to gain and share information, practices, techniques, and theories. To lead a healthier and more fulfilled life, it is only necessary to find again that natural order of knowledge.

Meaningful Knowledge

Knowledge is the fuel of our lives. Without knowledge we would not know how to survive - what to eat, avoid,  trust, act upon, etc. Most of this knowledge has been severed over the years - we need to experts to tell us what to eat, what to avoid, who to trust, how to live. Living is a process of learning for yourself, that is what separates our conscious from that of many other animals. We can think beyond this knowledge! And that is gaining knowledge in itself. Here is proposed two distinct, overlapping, and interdependent categories of knowledge - Mental and Physical. Together they build a web of knowledge, and by increasing the size and strength of that web, as well as understanding the web as a whole, life will become ever more meaningful and thus fulfilling. Please join me in building this web of knowledge and ideas, for each person is an encyclopedia that can contribute to the greater whole. And most importantly of all, post and enjoy yourself!
