Essentially, yes. As soon as one is conceived the purpose begins or life ceases.

Note, life. Humans are the "beneficiary of a system", as Shadeyinka called it, and are a product of the strife for survival that began from a single cell. One fails to see this when one isolates the parts from the whole.

the point is that, we choose to create a purpose for ourselves

imagine you were the first man with the first woman and the question "why are you here" drops in your head, what will be your answer?

will you say you are here to survive? bro surviving is not a purpose, a purpose is meant to be significant or remarkable or a land mark.

if surviving is a purpose then the purpose is never achieved because no man survives, every one dies.


take the first man and first woman for example, their purpose is to reproduce and explore and educate the children created from reproduction, that is what you call a purpose.

they can choose to stay without doing all these and stay without giving a meaning to their existence.

budaatum:
That "just a function of being a living thing" is precisely the purpose of being, Jack, and a human being without purpose will not survive and is dead!

I humbly invite Shadeyinka to come and explain to you how one could even be dead though living a purposeless life. You will need to be patient to see beyond his religionese to understand what he means though. And perhaps kkins25 could engage you with Being and Time that we both struggle with.

so You Are Saying The Purpose Of Man Is To survive.

JackBizzle:
No. What I am saying is that moral nihilism dismisses any notion of good and evil!

moral Values Are Indeed Subjective But Not Meaningless.

I Disagree With Moral Nihilism


Good And Evil are Born From Mental decisiveness, man Is Always Presented Between Two Choices.

StacyO:
True
But,then again men don't see beyond that money and the Nigerian girl's body. Who's to blame?

At least,before you get to give someone money,you get to know the use of it.

You guys prefer paying those who have nothing in return to offer all cause of the temporary gains. Later, you'll still be the same ones to come online just to spew bile.







Who is to blame?

stacy give me your whatsapp number

budaatum:
Okay, I've read it. I think you feel the need to define yourself, as in, find a neat little box you can fit yourself in so you can say you are this or you are that. And I ask, why? Why would you feel the need to define yourself by narrow meaning words? Do you like living in a box, Jackbizzle? Must you imprison yourself?

Perhaps the followings might help you get what I mean:

define Purpose

JackBizzle:
Well said. Well said.


But does this not tie into your previous discussion on whether man is evil or good by nature?

hmmm... you mean a purpose to be evil? i dont get

JackBizzle:
Not from nairaland. Majority on nairaland are the dregs of society

Lol... You Are Right

I Will Go With Cosmic Nihilism.
That Epistlmological nihilism doesnt make sense to me


every man is born empty with no purpose or meaning and you can choose to stay that way till you become dust again.


only the man himself can give his life a meaning or purpose in this reality.

And Yes The Result We Get Today Are all A Construct Of Our Own Actions

Is it senate that needs screening that wants to screen somebody?


Lol... Nigerian government are useless... All of them

Queenlovely:
Those who watch movies are using it to pass time, to avoid something they should be doing,

If you have dreams and ambition, you can hardly concentrate on a movie, because your mind is already occupied.

I would rather rewatch Merlin 300 times than watch this stupid movie with a predictable plot

must we put white people in our movies to make it interesting?

People with good movie plot idea don't have money

while the money bags are without ideas

just look at the nonsense movies AY is shooting.

you got that right. people with real movie plot and skills to direct dont have money, they are poor

The car it self didn't suffer intense damages... So what's the big deal

Ade truly yeye

How is this my business?

SilverNorGold:
Which herdsmen again? The same herdsmen that have been evicted by Sunday Igboho? I don't understand.

That aside, I don't know why some Nigerians are making things difficult for themselves! If RUGA is the solution, why not embrace it? What is common land?

Yesterday, a young man approached me, demanding I cede my 10 hectares of land to him else I won't like what would follow. I pleaded with him, but he refused, insisting he needed the land for an undisclosed business. To avoid issues, I left the land for him - for peace to reign.

So you see? It's not worth it! If RUGA is the solution, let's accept it for peace to reign. Doesn't make any sense killing yourselves cos of grass..

Nigeria go better.

make una leave this guy alone oh. he is not typin with his normal brain...
