When we sim­ply live. 

Lis­te­ned while wri­ting this post, try while rea­ding it :o)

This post is the twen­ty second in a series reflec­ting on the mea­ning of life and the impor­tance of this ques­tion. These posts should be read in the order they are publi­shed as, star­ting at the 6th for example, dear rea­der, will mean the whole thing makes no sense. Hap­py reading! 

So, I’ll ask again: are we robots? Ano­ther way of loo­king at it would be from a bio­lo­gi­cal stand­point. We can’t rea­lis­ti­cal­ly have any other aim in life than the one which unites us all – to sim­ply live! The ins­tinct to sur­vive, this concept which inhi­bits us from allo­wing death to take over, is well and tru­ly the only area where our legen­da­ry lazi­ness does not domi­nate us. It reminds us too that life, as many others along with Dar­win have told us, is not won without a fight!

So, I would say that bio­lo­gi­cal­ly spea­king, and we can­not deny the exis­tence of bio­lo­gy, we are, to a cer­tain extent, bio­lo­gi­cal machines. But if this truth just defines us as a bunch of diges­tive organs bles­sed with a capa­ci­ty for rea­so­ning, then that rea­so­ning is the only thing which dis­tin­guishes us at all. And this brings us right back to where we star­ted out – the fact that we can not sim­ply be a bunch of diges­tive organs, Why? Well, let’s take a break here and leave that for the next post.
