now I am in the mood for another late-night-chimmer-than-usual entry. not because I cannot sleep, but because tomorrow Youth Day and it is a waste to waste my youth sleeping so early.
this is another thing I keep thinking about but still havent made sense of. why do lifeforms exist on earth?
for example, mangroves. they begin their life as a seed buoyant or anchored onto the ground, live, drop seeds of offspring and then die.
a very boring life. you cannot do anything else.
temperate deciduous are worse. they shed their leaves in autmun only to get them back in spring, all for the sake of surviving.
now that is pointless yet boring.
whats more as a tree, you cannot end your life if you want to and suffer in silence as couples get hot under you or some drunkard piss on you.
animals are not much better too.
most animals in the wild are born then eat, shit and sleep, sometimes mate and produce offspring and die eventually.
humans are a bit better. they got facilities and services to waste their time on, like go shopping centres, SMS/talk/MSN with friend, play computer games and recently World Cup (most effective sleep reducing agent)
but you still eat, shit and sleep on a daily basis (shit part not so sure) and sometimes mate (or for fun with protection) and produce offspring and die in the end.
now all of these seem pretty lame. so generation after generation, we lifeforms repeat this basic cycle just to continue our own kind who do the same and so do their offspring.
many times I wonder how this cycle really started, being mainly a free thinker (or a not very staunch believer of Budtaoism), is there really a higher being that started this?
and when will this end? will there be a day when the world will self destruct and all lifeforms perishes together?
it is something I keep thinking off but only gets more confused. questions on life are not easy to answer.
hope for the day when the question can be answered, by science or otherwise (a logical one at least).
