What really is our purpose on earth? What on earth are we here for? A lot of you will immediately respond, "Happiness". Now, let me ask you. Are you really happy? Is your life care-free, free of pressure, full of time to be spent and used enjoyed? Unless you're a spoiled brat, the answer is no. For those of you fortunate enough to go to school, we have degrees and SAT and CAT and HSPA and CAPT to pass. We have our teachers and group projects. But somewhere else your age in the world, someone else is running from bombs, taking care of of seven younger siblings, starving to death. So the answer isn't happiness. So you say, "To help others." Okay. The National Aid and Relief Foundation describes a true person who helps others in need requirements: -over 1000 hours of work -travelled and stayed in a poor country for at least 100 days -donated at least 500 USD or monetary equivalent -started a charity/fund-raiser/foundation dedicated to making people's lives better How many of you have done these? The possibility is about 0.008791:109800, according to the website. So the question remains: What on earth are we here for? Why are we here? What is our purpose? What are we supposed to accomplish in life? Are we supposed to accomplish anything at all? Are we all selfish? Are we even on earth? Is the world just a virtual reality reflected into our own eyes? What if this is all a test to see how you will perform? Is something disastrous coming our way? #ThinkAboutIt #DebateTopics USER ANSWERS: Life is a test- @-Silversong- Our presence is a coincidence, everything is a coincidence @-Arcanity
