Contemplating the purpose of life.

Contemplating the purpose of life has been the meal ticket for many philosophers, scientists, archaeologists, doctors, evolutionists and creationists over the centuries including the varying religious contradictory explanations; religion being the most obvious in today's thinking when contemplating this issue.

Contemplating the purpose of life is something we all do in one shape form or another. It can be via a daydream, or a topic that requires continuous attention and study such as Is God Real?' Does Darwinism really Exist and what effect is it on me?' What really happened around the period of the Pyramids?' The list is endless incorporating nearly every subject posed in our daily lives. It is the subject of many papers throughout the centuries.

The purpose of life has been and is an age-old question of a beginning that cannot be explained and a future answer that is as eternal as thought it self. We can contemplate the stars, the big bang theory, the birth of a child and rationalize anything we like, only to find that there are a myriad of other alternatives and explanations as well as new questions inspired.

From this we can bend it the other way and turn that same energy into the future as we ponder or think deeply about a problem and its effects on the outcome. We can rationalize the future with purpose from these events. We can see a horizon at times making the purpose of life more meaningful.

Whichever way it is observed or contemplated, it is a personal enigma with a different result for all, each has his/her own burden to bare, produce, to have as a purpose; and consider objectively and deliberately.

Contemplating the purpose of life is to find a reason for which something exists, how it is done, made and used with an intended or desired result be it an aim or a goal but set within the parameters of existence.

Whatever the purpose of life, it will always be a contemplation or a discovery as to Why?
