Who's reading the_infernal_optimist (208):
(I have a ringing sense of deja vu, but whatever. I'm asking anyway.)

Not here as in SoulCast. Here as in, why do you exist? What's your ultimate purpose?

I'd expect most replies to consist of "To/for [x]." Let's make things interesting - you're limited to a maximum of two words for your answer (though additional thoughts are welcome). You may assume, if you wish, that "to" or "for" is understood, and if it helps, you can say "I am here to ____ ___" or whatever wording makes sense to you.

I firmly believe that if you ponder the question long enough, an answer (even if perhaps it is not "the" answer) will come to you.

So, why are you here?

    Interesting answers thus far!

    I suppose I might answer my own question, though tbh, I'm finding it difficult to say what I mean.

    At this moment, I've three basic choices that, in my mind, all touch upon the same thing without encompassing it to my liking:

    to help, to offer hope, to give light (not in a spiritual sense necessarily).

    For now, just to watch.

    I exist because my parents erroneously thought a baby would save their relationship.  As for my ultimate purpose, I have no idea.

    I'm here to learn and to teach.

    E_Eyes: Welcome to my blog! You intrigue me.

    Eilan: That makes me sad for you - what a horrible thing to know. We're glad you're here, at any rate, and perhaps one day you'll have your answer as to purpose. :)

    destiny: Let me know what you eventually come up with! I'm still thinking as well, and it doesn't much surprise me that you're having similar thoughts.

    blast: That doesn't surprise me in the slightest - I guess you do a good job of presenting yourself accordingly. :)

    To see what everyone is up to. As E Eyes said, to watch for now.

    To quote Rowdy Roddy Piper from the 1988 Cult Classic film They Live, (directed by John Carpenter), "I'm here to chew bubblegum, and kick ass!"
  • mobil said on Jul 16, 2007....
    For me it's about fucking around, I like to fuck around writing and reading. I'm
    already way to smart and there's nothing left to learn. So I fuck around here enjoying watching others learn. Oh, and to learn to be a better spellor.

    As an agnostic, long ago I came to terms with the fact that my life may have absolutely no propose and that after my life I will be oblivion, impossible for a human to reckon. But that also strongly implies the hope that my life has a meaning in terms of some grand creator. The short answer is that I do not know yet, but it is going to be one of the two. It also seems that I am driven to find happiness, and ALL other actions are to find happiness.

Okay friends, folks and a few felonious philosophers: Does anyone besides my think-buddie, beyondtheveil think that we should re-open the Cosmic Cafe'?
