We all exist. The question isn’t “How?”. It’s “Why?”

Why do we exist at all? At best the origin of our being doesn’t need us.

At worst, the origin of our being doesn’t want us, which is obviously not true as we exist and the origin of our being could have prevented it.

So we are either mere objects of observation and pleasure or we are meant for something else, something greater than ourselves.

Why are you allowed to even breath today?

No specific purpose, but yes...we are here to move the median. Its all about procreating and raising better humans who are self sufficient.

Life is absurd, all of it…from the bacteria to the whale…it’s simply an absurdity.

One could argue nature and life is a beautiful symphony. Full of ups and downs, tragedies and triumphs.

We exist. That's all. Why does there have to be a reason?

The why is to elevate the vibrational frequency of our souls(our TRUE selves)to a higher level via our experiences and consequent actions in an imperfect world full of suffering.

We CHOOSE to come to this plane of existence, knowing beforehand what will generally occur, but are wiped of this knowing at birth.

That’s a retarded response from someone who expects a reason why TD would be down, their taxes and insurance to be up, the economy sideways, Politic being backwards, a performance of a sports team being subpar…

In practice, we demand the “why” for the stupidest of things in the grand scheme of the universe…everything existing the greatest thing of all…our own existence.

Why? What are we so afraid of?

Those who believe in God ask - Why?

Those who don't ask - How?

How do you know we actually exist? You sure this isn't a simulation made by our .ai overlords?

What if only you exist, and the rest of us are all figments of your imagination?

The answer to both how and why we exist is simple but the understanding of those answers is ultimately complex which is why you need faith in the universal truth:

Genesis 2:7-24
Then the Lord God formed a man[c] from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.

8 Now the Lord God had planted a garden in the east, in Eden; and there he put the man he had formed. 9 The Lord God made all kinds of trees grow out of the ground—trees that were pleasing to the eye and good for food. In the middle of the garden were the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

10 A river watering the garden flowed from Eden; from there it was separated into four headwaters. 11 The name of the first is the Pishon; it winds through the entire land of Havilah, where there is gold. 12 (The gold of that land is good; aromatic resin[d] and onyx are also there.) 13 The name of the second river is the Gihon; it winds through the entire land of Cush.[e] 14 The name of the third river is the Tigris; it runs along the east side of Ashur. And the fourth river is the Euphrates.

15 The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it. 16 And the Lord God commanded the man, “You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; 17 but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat from it you will certainly die.”

18 The Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.”

19 Now the Lord God had formed out of the ground all the wild animals and all the birds in the sky. He brought them to the man to see what he would name them; and whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name. 20 So the man gave names to all the livestock, the birds in the sky and all the wild animals.

But for Adam[f] no suitable helper was found. 21 So the Lord God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man’s ribs[g] and then closed up the place with flesh. 22 Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib[h] he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man.

23 The man said,

“This is now bone of my bones
and flesh of my flesh;
she shall be called ‘woman,’
for she was taken out of man.”
24 That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh.

Luke 4:8
Jesus answered, "It is written: 'Worship the Lord your God and serve him only.'"

John 4:23-24
a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.

Revelation 4
You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they were created and have their being

You exist for one reason only - To pay restocking fees.
