God does not play Dice
So said Einstein. But apparently its a game that he plays with humans. Why are we here and whats our purpose?
'Created and annhilated, Created and annhilated-Such a waste of time!' -These were Richard Feynman's views on the creation and subsequent swift destruction of electrons and positrons or any other form of energy and momentum in the vast spaces of empty space which is explained by Heisenburgs Uncertainty Principle. But this can easily be applied to human beings. Generations of humans are born and die acheiving nothing other than consuming some oxygen and devouring a lot more. Are we, as Douglas Adams humorously put, part of an organic computer to compute the Ulimate question to life, Universe and well everything?(The answer is 42 for the uninitiated).
A very bleak view of life can be seen in the lyrics of Pink Floyd-
A man in black on a snow white horse,
a pointless life has run it's course,
the red rimmed eyes, the tears still run
as he fades into the setting sun
'Virus: a harmful or corrupting agency.' Could we be the most potent virus formed yet bent on replicating our kind at the cost of wreaking havoc on the other living organisms found on this planet? Hmmm unlikely but could be Gods start to the battle of Armageddon.

You are one stop closer to becoming a philosopher. People have pulled their hair out, mocked at others, committed suicide and listened to Pink Floyd thinking about such things. Occasionally, this breeze blows my way too, but at some point I understood that there is no end and no beginning.
Douglas Adams got it all wrong there. The answer aint 42, its 69! Alright bad joke, but more seriously, the answer is probably 0 or 1. The universe operates in binary after all hehe.
