great post Res, you're a good writer

I can't help but agree with most of what you've said, but I don't think we're here for a specific reason. I've pondered this question many times, "What's the fucking point?" and unfortunately I haven't come up with a satisfactory answer. This leads me to believe, rightly or wrongly, that there really isn't any point. I don't believe in destiny, but I believe each person has a certain potential they may or may not achieve. If there were some cosmic, greater reason for our existence, then Free Will goes in trash can, and I cannot accept that.

I envy people who have a great faith in whatever they choose, because they can comfort themselves in believing that there is a point, there is an ultimate goal. I can't see that, nor am I really able to believe in most religions. Is there a god? Maybe, if there is I think he just got the ball rolling and now he's sitting back and enjoying the show.
