Question

Why am I here?

Because if you were not there, you would be somewhere else asking this question.

Scientific answer: A bunch of atoms decided to join forces
Religious answer: some sort of God created you for whatever reason
other philosofical answers: You are not here, this is an illusion | coincidence | who are you, and why must you know?

This:



is why.

On a more serious note, there is no reason. Find one for yourself.

And on a more rational note, why are you asking this of a bunch of people you don't know and probably never will meet?

Thanks, I think I may just be a soul.

That is a good question. I just thought someone out there in this vast world might have an answer, even on a Zelda website.

Well you obviously have a body... that's a good thing. Is there a deep philosophical view you'd like to share, go on ahead.

I do not really have a view, that why I am asking you. I think my purpose or a humans task is to help people. Maybe thats why I am here.

No one has an absolute answer. Just make a purpose. That's all I've done. Actually, I technically haven't even done that as I have made my purpose... to find purpose. Life is just one big experience. Take it for what it's worth, don't regret anything, die in 60 years and then, fertilize a tree or something.

Although probably the first place you should start with asking yourself why you're here is, do you believe in a god. Maybe if you told all of us that, we could actually help you, as gods have funny ways of giving people purpose. If you don't believe in a god, then see my above paragraph about fertilizing trees, because that's all the advice I can give you at that point.

I think there is a God. Thank you for the advice.

Trying not to be cheesy. Here. Well, it will definitely answer your question.

And the Atheism thing was... I'm sorry, but SOOOOO hilarious!

As to why you are here: it's for you to decide what reasoning to follow. If you are turly curious, I'd say consult a person you feel has life figured out. If that doesn't work for you, try seeking other places for purpose.

^For the record, and to go along with what he's saying: I have life figured out.

Okay, next question. What do you believe the nature of this god is? Are we talking about the deist god that just created the universe, sat back in the universal lazy boy chair and watched the show? Or are we talking about a more personal, caring god? Or perhaps even a god that's purposely malicious. There are religions out there that believe in this sort of thing. So, what kind of god do you believe in?

Isn't it though? I'm an atheist and even I think that that's funny.
