Maybe, the point is...to just do it, keep going, keep progressing(as in not going backwards-in time, in ur age, in ur thoughts), keep, doing whatever it is you do. Everything else does, and that is the point. i don't need a point that makes my little brain feel better (ie...we'll all meet our maker in a glorious day of realisation and all the worlds questions will be answered). Everything, just "is" "does" and thats it...we are just part of it doing it all.

loz, i'm pretty sure it was you, that in the past on a thread just like this said something along the lines 'you can look to hard at these things and when you do you miss the point'..

I don't think we're supposed to know the answers to some of these questions....would you carry on your life on earth if you knew what happened afterwards? although i think that finding the answers to these questions is what drives our race on..

from a favourite film of mine..

Girl: You know why the sky is blue?
Boy: Because the reflection from the sunshine causes…
Girl: Wrong! It’s to make me happy. I wanted it to be blue, so it’s blue. You know why fire is hot? It’s all for me. I wanted it to be hot, so it’s hot. You know why we have four seasons here in Korea?
Boy: For you?
Girl: Correct.

I love that way of thinking...

this is where it's at for me. we seem to presume that the earth/we are at the centre of everything...and my favourite presumption is the question 'why are we here?' as if it's about us...
