Jonny Sims explains the meaning of life

Why is life worth living? Material possessions? Petty desires and hopes and dreams? Achievement? Love? By these ideologies, we wouldn't have advanced from cavemen to civilized humans because cavemen wouldn't have wanted to live. Miranda, saying things like “I wonder if I'll ever have to decide what's worse, life we we’re living, or no life at all.”, proves to be an avid believer that she was born to buy things. 


These ideas that life is derived from the manifestations of mankind are reversed and over-simplified. As life develops, it gains a certain consciousness about origin. This consciousness, manifested more commonly as “Why am I here?”, is a rationalization of the fact that one is alive and one would like to stay alive for as long as possible. The real question stems from that initial yearning for living. Why did cavemen want to keep living? Because it is selfish.

Egotism is the essence of life. You are only alive as you are self-centered. To answer the question “Why should I be here”, one must break themselves down to their innermost desires. Life is the most precious present possible, proven over and over again by high-pressure situations everyday. And the very asking of this question acknowledges a certain desire to protect one's interests, as it is in regards to their most precious possession. Thus, if one asks for meaning of something because of egotistic selfishness, and the very asking is the something, couldn't it be said that the meaning is selfishness:

1. Life has meaning
2. One asks for the meaning of life
3. Asking for the meaning of life is microcosmically life
4. One asks is one being egotistic
5. Being egotistic is microcosmically life
6. Egotism is self-evident
7. Meaning of life is Egotism



If you believe #3 is controversial, then you haven't ever lived, or you're lying to yourself. What gets you up in the morning, or lingers on your mind before you sleep? This degree of questioning is prevalent to such an extent that I can safely say that a snapshot, a single day of my life, summing up what I do on a day-to-day basis would include at least a thought on why I am anything at all.

Heres an artical on some hollywood capitalist pig profiting on the inability or indecisiveness of the masses to answer their own questions on origin: http://www.bostonherald.com/entertainment/movies/general/view/20221123lee_ponders_meaning_of_life/srvc=home&position=also
