This delicate life

Very few of us, I believe, think about or are even aware of how delicately balanced our life is physiologically. There are enumerable dangerous events that could happen at any time, even without a warning and/or our ability to control, ending our life individually, or as a species or in totality--all life on Earth.

Why would this be of any interest? It is of interest to me, the fact of vulnerability of life, as I think about life's purpose. Most of those whom I know and/or whose thoughts I learn about, propose some sort of ongoing concern, as in "we live today so that there may be life tomorrow." I have always had a problem with that position for the simple reason that the life can be ended as mentioned above. Moreover, I assert that life in general, that of which we are a part, will end some day.

Given that conclusion, purpose of life can not be some future life. The purpose must be contained within the current life. What could it be?

Adding to what I wrote in an earlier blog entry, my purpose is to fully experience life itself.
