love is the reason

Since they can't be proven objectively to exist (at least not at this time), this thread is going to be a lot of dogma and speculation. I hope that's what you were wanting.

The universe has to have every possibility happen and to experience itself is part of the job. The universe began and will end but not before it does this
>>17767519
No, it wasn't

what if it's something that can't be proven objectively but only subjectively?

If energy cannot be created nor destroyed only repurposed, then what becomes of consciousness? From that people have deduced a "soul"
>>17767517
what if instead all those things exist as a byproduct of love?

Consciousness is just a set of processes in the brain, no?

How am I supposed to 'fight'?

Everything exists from the source which is the Absolute. Whether or not we burn out is up to us.

"fight" in the sense of your perception and view towads reality and your existence.
