We all have a plan, template, bubble of belief. Reason to get up in the morning etc?

What is yours and is it working?

Mine would include:

  • Becoming wiser before the event
  • Understanding and breaking patterns that don’t work
  • Joining the smarter, cooler, non-lemmings

    It’s late here where I am, and I’m almost inclined to try to think up a silly answer, but I won’t.

    "An age old question is ‘What’s the meaning of life?’

    But the better question should be ‘What’s the motivation of life?’"

      If the question lingers so much, it never hurts to ask those who created us what the meaning of it all is. Either our parents (or grandparents like in my case, or our ancestors), as our most rightful authorities, are going to explain to us what our purpose is, or we ourselves are going to do that ourselves.
