Blogosphere: Episode 8- Robert Long

   Why are we here? What is our purpose?
Welcome back to the Blogosphere with Robert! Today, we dive down into the deep questions of our existence and try our best to answer them the best way we can using logic rather than religion.
   I know, I know, this might be a controversial topic, but I don't have to many better ideas left in my feeble mind. Let's get started, I suppose.
   I want to start off with the big question of the universe: why are we here? Many believe that we, as humans, are here to serve some great purpose and leave the world better for our future generations until they repeat the same cycle. Others like to "see the world as it is." They don't believe that we have a purpose. They think we're here for nothing except the sole purpose to rot and feed the plants that clearly do more than we do. I don't necessarily agree with the second group, but I do see where they are coming from. From a physical perspective, it does seem our only purpose is to live and breathe on this earth until we die and leave behind our carbon footprint. Where I feel they are wrong is the mental perspective. From the mental perspective, many believe that once we do reach the end of our rope, we are lifted up to be reborn and recreated so we shall return one day as a new being with new flesh and a pure soul. This is the utopia most tend to believe, but I have seen myself more times than not standing in the middle of these two sides: on the line of "what happens when we die." Are we lifted up or laid down? There is no way to truly know which side is right and which is wrong due to the lack of knowledge of life after death. For all we know, it could be a perception created by the world to ease the mind of the what happens after the day your heart beats it's last. The one thing I do know is that whatever happens after death, only we can prevent wildfires @SmokeyTheBear😉
