How well do you understand existence?

I thought I would start off the day with something besides common shitposts and bait threads. #OffTopic has really changed over the years, so here is a chance to talk about something different. You were born, you live, breathe, think, and act upon however you were brought up. Why? For what reason do you think how you do? I'll change the direction of the conversation. Every night, before I sleep, I think. [i]Here I am, about to sleep again. I slept yesterday, and the day before, and days before that. To me, it feels like I'm always laying here, and no time has passed. I don't remember much of today, or anything of the week, month, or year. All I know, is I'm here.[/i] With these thoughts, each day seems to merge. [i]You will find yourself, living in an eternal now, where there is no past, and there is no future. It all becomes one happen.[/i] You barely know your hometown. You barely know your state. You only understand so little of what all knowledge humans have written. This is only one planet, of the millions in our galaxy, and billions of trillions of galaxies. We sit here, and joke around, having fun. Why? Our brain asks questions because it doesn't understand. Our brain doesn't even understand how it understands... What if we knew it all? We couldn't learn anymore, and we wouldn't think anymore. [b][i][u]----------------------------------------------------[/u][/i][/b] [b]tl;dr[/b] What is life? Baby don't hurt me, don't hurt me, no more. Tell me about your many thoughts about life, all your theories, your questions, anything. Inb4 asking if I'm high (No, it's just 3am, and I think at night.)

    [quote]We sit here, and joke around, having fun. Why?[/quote] Because it causes us happiness, with happiness being a release of dopamine into our brains. If you're looking for purpose in life then there is no purpose beyond what we make for ourselves. Want to push the boundaries of human knowledge. That's your purpose. Want to care for those who can't care for themselves. That's your purpose. Want to give into carnal desires and simply pursue what makes you happy at the moment? That's your purpose.
