"Us"

The good thing about the illusion of "self" is it leaves you free to choose your own purpose.

Of course, that's perfectly fine. All I'm going with is the opposition that we are born or "destined" to have this inherent purpose inside of us, which gives our "creation" meaning.


I fully adhere to the philosophy that we give our lives meaning, not some higher power or theory of creation. But, saying that your purpose in life derives from the fact that two billion years ago some random ass deity decided to create a gigantic rock, then two hundred thousand years from then he decided to make a garden and spawn some dude from a pile of fucking dirt is the reason your life has meaning is absolutely and utterly ludicrous.
