I'm offering my answer here. The answer is purely mine, and it satisfies me.

'You are only a vehicle for the survival of your genes', but such an answer satisfies no one, not even the scientist. There has to be some meaning in all this, otherwise why not stop this absurd journey here and now?<br />-Shajanshajanmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16190197506411646151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2102451431033041663.post-45042179636290235172014-02-09T07:37:06.155+05:302014-02-09T07:37:06.155+05:30By the time we learn to play the game really well,...By the time we learn to play the game really well, our time is almost over :) Perhaps, life is all about that precisely: learning... the journey itself is the game.Tomichan Matheikalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05037872309096060126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2102451431033041663.post-74175113361034626872014-02-09T07:35:18.043+05:302014-02-09T07:35:18.043+05:30Thanks, Renard.Thanks, Renard.Tomichan Matheikalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05037872309096060126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2102451431033041663.post-50068669923581125232014-02-08T23:36:04.141+05:302014-02-08T23:36:04.141+05:30Nicely put...most of us are happy to go about livi...Nicely put...most of us are happy to go about living our lives until something really hits us bad... and we are like...why? And that is when we wish to search for answers to our existence. Understanding the game of life takes a little time to dawn on us! Just like the "big bang theory" our life is full of uncertainty and there is hardly any pattern, it is all random. Might as well enjoy the game while it lasts.Ranjana Jhahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12628639592860871304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2102451431033041663.post-27447370722571765832014-02-08T23:24:10.293+05:302014-02-08T23:24:10.293+05:30[ Smiles ] Most profound![ Smiles ] Most profound!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09335177347704304529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2102451431033041663.post-71223818176975517262014-02-08T19:58:35.900+05:302014-02-08T19:58:35.900+05:30I too wish that enjoyment of the journey to everyb...I too wish that enjoyment of the journey to everybody, Anita.

It decided to make use of free will. When it turned left, free will told him, "You have the freedom to choose what's on the right." So it turned right. And you know what the free will told him. And it went on. Until the donkey died. :)Tomichan Matheikalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05037872309096060126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2102451431033041663.post-43148935833360103142014-02-08T18:48:22.806+05:302014-02-08T18:48:22.806+05:30There are so many creatures which are one day wond...There are so many creatures which are one day wonders, Namrota. A fact that can make us wonder about the purpose of life. But the May fly is curious because even food is not a basic need in its case.
