Why are we here? It
appears that we have 80 to 90 years to follow our instincts and learn what we
need to learn. We need nourishment to
survive and we need to sleep about 8 hours a day. We need to drink water and eat
foods that contain the vitamins and minerals and protein we need to sustain
ourselves. We learn this from our parents and our own experiences. We live in
families for support.
Many of us believe
that there is a chance that we may continue to exist after our death. There is
some evidence that there is a Creator, who promises our immortality. Many of us
have been taught that we have a mission from God to perform during our lives.
The behaviors taught to be aligned with this God are usually worthy and logical
given our circumstances if we are following Judeo-Christian principles.
Our instincts tell us
that despite the lack of proof that we are here to do God’s Will, we are
willing to channel our actions to comply with whatever we conclude God’s Will
for us might be.
We are a highly
complex mammal we can track back to 1,500,000 BC to 200,000 BC.
The earliest fossils of anatomically modern
humans are from the Middle Paleolithic, about
200,000 years ago such as the Omo remains of Ethiopia and the
fossils of Herto sometimes classified as Homo sapiens idaltu.
Neanderthals lived from 200,000 BC until 30,000
BC.
"Fire was first controlled by humans
anywhere from about 230,000 years ago to 1.4 or 1.5 million years ago, depending on which evidence you accept as
definitive". Evidence for the use of fire by Homo erectus beginning some
400,000 years ago has wide scholarly support.
Our best guess on the age of the universe is
13.8 billion years. Earth is thought to
be 4.5 billion years old. Dinosaur bones have been dated at 231 million BC.
It’s thought that Dinosaurs became extinct in 66 million BC.
We have always been
required to work to provide for ourselves. We are born with physical abilities
that have enabled us to find and secure food and water. The rest has been trial
and error. We learned what to consume and what to avoid the hard way. We
learned what was dangerous and what to avoid from others and from our own
experience.
We are capable of
learning and are responsible for learning what we need to know. If you are
“responsible” and want to act in your best interest, you will make sure you are
getting the nutrients you need. If you
own a single family home, you can learn how to maintain it. If you work in a job, you should enjoy it; if
you don’t, you need to find a job you do enjoy, so you can be successful at it
and become a contributing member of a team.
