I was faced, yesterday, with a typical teenager question, one most will have heard at some stage, maybe even uttered themselves. What’s the point. What is the point of all that we do, all that we learn, every second of every day? Do we have a purpose, or a destiny written in, or by, the stars, by fate, by some Almighty

@uc no

@denebeim

No to what, the extract or the whole argument?

@uc do we have a purpose or destiny

@denebeim

It's a full discussion, possibly with an answer. Mastodon is merely an extract.....

@uc tbh I was just trying to be amusing. Now that I think of it with one word the only person who would find it amusing is me. Since I have the context.

Of course most people have the advantage of not living in my brain. 🙂

@uc do the birds in the trees have a purpose or destiny? Do the lions or zebras on the savannah? No, it’s all just a matter of surviving.

@ginger_tosser

You didn't read the article either, did you.

@uc nope 😔. Assumed the text was a summary rather than the intro paragraph to a longer piece. I’ve read it now. Still going to stick with my original comment and twist it to include that doing things that you find interesting is a form of survival. 🤥
