We find ourselves in this world not knowing what we are, who we are, or
why we are here. Are we mere meat robots with no free will living out

our ultimate destiny might be, whether it will be oblivion or whether it
will be to ascend into some mysterious new reality.
In our day to day lives let's just be happy for the day and have a few
