QUOTE(communist892003 @ Aug 15 2010, 11:32 PM) The purpose of animal or plant is so obvious....What a ridiciously question that is why?The purpose of my dog is to eat, sleep, bark, f***, run and die..that's all Human can be like animal too. Eat, sleep, work, f***, steal, study, and much more. to ask for a purpose is to know the 'why'. This post has been edited by teongpeng: Aug 16 2010, 10:31 PM |

QUOTE(teongpeng @ Aug 20 2010, 12:42 AM) My answer: no arising thought. No arising, no falling.I don't see a purpose, and I don't see not a purpose. Purpose is meant for those who want to find it. Everybody have different purpose. "his" might not be same with "her" purpose. So, why care? |

QUOTE(adrian1984 @ Aug 20 2010, 12:52 AM) My answer: no arising thought. No arising, no falling. and thus u proceed to miss the point. there is no 'his' purpose 'her' purpose. That would still be rooted in the ego. and if we want to talk philosophically, the ego is a very shallow basis to have a conversation about. I don't see a purpose, and I don't see not a purpose. Purpose is meant for those who want to find it. Everybody have different purpose. "his" might not be same with "her" purpose. So, why care? |

there is no "his" or "her", there is no "you" and "me"...
so back to the question, purpose? Thus I said, I don't see "purpose" as it is... no need to "create" purpose and start to think about "purpose"... |

(try stop yourself from breathing and see you react!) now that's purpose of life =)so basically what their **** doing is perfectly sensible. without that you might not even exist!

You need to bring awareness above your association with the ego in order to understand the implication of such topic. Yes, unless one can bring a definative argument to make humans special, to even discuss about purposes of humans is a question rooted in the ego. Hence my question....what is the purpose of plants and animals. there in lies the answer. so back to the question, purpose?
