Purpose of Human Existence

Cogito ergo sum

This is the basis, of the philosophy of human existence. It is greek and means I think therefore I am. Some philosophers follow this pretense as the basis of understanding human existence.

Pinch yourself

This is a simpler idea to prove human existence. The sensation of pain.

These two theories actually work together. To formulate, My mind is present and my body is present. Once we have proven that humans existence, in forms of thought and pain. We can now safely try and discuss the purpose of said existence.

Many think that having a purpose associated with human existence is putting to much weight on the ideal that humans serve a nobel purpose, or are going to have a nobel value. I however, do not think this is the case. I do not think there is a wonderful human purpose. I think that our purpose on this earth is to feel and to think.
