Have you ever imagined a view and then tried to draw it on a paper / canvas?
There are times in the process when you inspect the half drawn picture for it's closeness to your imagined view......then you make a correction or two and proceed..........this goes on..........If you think what you have drawn is beyond correction then what you do?.......Tear off the page and start afresh?
This is what life is all about.
Imagine if you had no senses and wanted to know what you are like....you could only think and visualize what you could be, and if it turns out to be not acceptable you will simply stop and start on some new thought with corrections in the earlier one.
We are the Soul's idea's about itself, turned in to physical reality and are constantly giving it the feedback to decide if we are moving true to his ideas. When we weaver away....well that's the end of the episode!
Hope this helps !!!!

There is simply no special reason for our being here. We have been created by completely natural processes(Reproduction), the underlying cause of which is the propagation of the Human Race
Somehow, the human mind through millions of years of evolution has developed the power to think & question about the things around us. Deep within, we overestimate ourselves and thus always try to find a specific reason behind our creations.
Now that we have been born, each of us needs something to motivate him\herself - which he\she has to think up him\herself.
For example, a person might live with the object of helping his fellow humans or he might set his mind on becoming filthy rich.
Hate me if you like but there is nothing divine or mystic about our being on the Earth. Religion is like a piece of wood to which a person holds on to when he\she floats in the wide, open sea which is life.

Yes, We exist in the world as humans bestowed with intellect and will. We are intellectual as well as spiritual beings. And our existence is oriented towards an end; happiness. The final happiness achieved only through immaterial and spiritual. And our ultimate happiness in knowing, loving and attaining the ultimate good who is God. Any other aim of life which do not lead to this end is not the aim of human person. those who seek only sensual pleasure remain only at the level of animal existence. Those who seek only the worldly happiness remain at material existence which has no other existence than being in the world. Though we live in the material world our focus should be on that, which is beyond the world. Though we live temporarily in the world we should aim at attaining eternity. That's why we are here on earth with intellect and will; intellect to know the eternity and will to attain it by one's own freedom and every day's life situations and decisions.

We are here to develop our human soul. Here on earth we all have an earthly body. The reason but why we are here is that we learn to understand what God wants from us.
If you do not believe in God you can also say we have to learn to fulfil our purpose as humans, to do good and in doing good we also help ourselves to develop.

To ask and answer!
We are here because it is the best place to read the screen, you can go the other side but won't see anything!

you dont get answers wen you are worried about them. You get answers wen you are relaxed. Learn to soothe your mind and meditate. Your conscious mind can't answer all you questions. Relax and try to communicate with the subconscious. You will get the answer when you are worth it.

So that we can die. The longer we live, the better, but the purpose is that we give birth to others to take our place and keep the cycle going for as long as possible.

Because we feel like it. And because God got bored one day and decided to pull a planet out of all the matter in the universe. And then there's Satan who tries to control us like we're a bunch of marionettes, and God tries to save us by cutting the strings off so we can be free again.
Or we just feel like it.

Every body alive on this earth has a special mission given by the Lord and we live to find, chase and accomplish it.
