The answers within ourselves are the most difficult to seek. So even a simple answer might take long to be discovered. Generally the most dire situation in one's life makes them think over their purpose of existence, while some find it, and are reborn, others lose their interest to live at all. If we see around us things are evolving every moment in to something better. it looks more like a construction to something which is currently not known to anyone alive today and yet everyone is working towards its completion. The so called 'good' in the society try to make amendments to improve the condition or simply follow the instructions and the 'bad' shows the loop holes in the system and demands improvement. A system evolving within itself to reach perfection every moment. A system where we all are 'agents' and every agent has a purpose of its existence. So agent Sun gives us light and heat and serves its purpose, what would be our purpose.
The 'System' itself is not completely known to us and may be that is why we dont understand where we are heading towards. It can be as broad as the universe itself or as small as the human body. We dont know what is beyond this universe so our thoughts are confined to this universe only but it may be a very small part of the whole system. If we compare our human body to a city, every city is of different size so is our human body, every city has so called drainage, roads, communication network etc.. so has our body a completely separate water system, veins may serve as roads may be, and the whole neural network gives fast and strong communication.. Every city has different agents and representatives to carry out tasks to keep the city running and so does our body. Cities live way longer than humans who carry out the work for up keep, there is always someone who takes over the responsibility, which is not so uncommon in our body itself, for example the skin keeps dying but also keeps growing simultaneously. We can also say that new skin replaces the dead skin.. The process goes on.
If we are also just a tiny part of something large, then there is a reason for us to believe that someone at a very larger level is controlling a number of things, whom we may call God! I dont know what that System is to be built into not even what my purpose is but I am sure that there is some energy within all of us and that is what keeps everything running. How small that energy is we still dont know but the deeper we go consider this whole 'System' to be that much larger.

Basic Question of Life - I
We all live to die some day. In order to achieve something or the other we all live, evolve and fight everyday only to succumb to death one day. A number of times in our life, not quite often though for everyone, a basic question of life comes in to the mind - PURPOSE? Purpose of life? of Existence? of Everything? And quite often we forget this question to get back into the race, THE RACE OF LIFE!
So is there a purpose to our living, to our lives to everything we do? Is destiny an answer to all the question or is itself a question? we dont know and we will never, if we dont try to understand our purpose.
To start with, first we need to gather the basics of this world, at least the ones that we know.
One universe with life, one sun, nine planets, Just one planet with life.
As humans we have a nature to hold someone else responsible for everything wrong, seldom we do that for good, and when we dont have an answer we put it on GOD and blame GOD's will. While GOD's mere existence itself is a question unanswered we yet put GOD's will responsible for a lot of things. Anyways, considering GOD exists and everything happens as per GOD's will, it would only be fair to say GOD also has a purpose behind every will of his. So when GOD created the universe, at least the one in which we are now, he created a sun and nine planets. Sun with purpose of giving light and energy, being very important for living creatures to survive. Earth to support the life with its environment. What are the other planets created for? What is their purpose? Just circling around the sun cannot be a purpose. We all know about the planets yet we do not know what they are there for. Its there and its revolving around the sun, so be it! We walk away with this attitude as if we dont care, but thats not the truth, the truth is that we dont know and so we avoid it as no one has the answer. This is how we live everyday with most of the facts known yet unknown to us.
Over a period of time I have realized that most of the answers to these type of questions are very simple and easy to understand its just that we dont try to understand the answer or we know it but we do not want to accept it and end up ignoring it. To answer the " Basic Question of Life" we need more than just philosophy. We need evidence. Let us look to find it within ourselves.
