Purpose


Unknown Woman of the Seine
L'Inconnue de la Seine (The Unknown Woman of the Seine)

Anthropocentric view,
Might not be all so.

If human condition
Taught us anything at all
Is that we're not here to create
Nor we're here to destroy,
We're not here to explore,
We're not here with a meaning
Rather we're just here,
Left purposeless, and all alone.

If star dust is where we come from,
And ashes is where we go to,
Then everything in between is just, life,
And we have a single raison d'être,
To die.

So perhaps, it's worth to take a look back, and do a little retrospective, see how did it all end up the way it did, perform an autopsy on another body that fell victim to the Fermi Paradox.  Our earliest traceable human-like ancestors is said to be Ardipithicines Ardipithecus, who appeared around 5 million years ago, or around 99,9% into Earth's existence. In a group of 15 difference human-like species, perhaps most notable ones were Homo Habilis, who appeared 2 Million years ago, they were the first ones to start making tools, then Homo Heidelbergensis, who appeared 700 thousands years ago, and were making various structures, like shelt...
