Hey /b/ time for a philosophical discussion. This may not be the best board for this, but idgaf. If something divine created life and gave us instincts to not die, isn't the meaning of life to not die?

The instinct of self preservation is a product of evolution. If we were given anything by God, it is the divine spark of self awareness, creativity and intellect. The purpose of existence is learning, experiencing and improving, then returning that knowledge in its pure form back to the source that your soul came from
>>724151727
we have more than one instinct
>>724151963
Fair point. However, if the universe is doomed to be utterly anhialated, shouldn't humanities goal be to somehow combat this impending doom?
>>724152119
the universe lives in terms of billions of years
the human race lives in terms of thousands of years
the universe will be around long after we are gone
Take some ritalin youll feel better
>>724151963
get a load of this faggot. the purpose of life is pussy, pure and simple.
>>724152312
Yeah but what's the point of life if nothing we do will matter in the end? It makes logical sense to me that humanity should try to do something instead of just passing the time in our meaningless existences.
>>724151727
no i think the meaning of life is to take in your surroundings, say ah that was nice, and then die
>>724152569
you would think that but we are made from the same stardust as the rest of the universe, how do you know you arent merely the taste bud inside the mouth of the universe, you coul be fulfilling your job without knowing your purpose, limited by your own worldviw. open your mind without xpectations and try to enjoy yourself
>>724152569
Aren't you part of this humanity, shouldn't you try to do something instead of just passing the time in your meaningless existence
>>724152569
perhaps the point of life is coming to terms with the knowledge that what we do will not matter in the end and instead perfect what we do in the now
