Gotta wait awhile to get that answer. But I bet it will be ....
because... AbE: Let me add this. Answering the Why question is a matter of history. It is a summation made at the end, a finally tally. Until then it is still being written, only after the fact does it graner any worth or meaning. Edited by jar, : No reason given. Aslan is not a Tame Lion

Thank you, I didn't want a non-answer, I guess I wanted to know that you needed to contemplate the answer to such a question as much as I also do, and have many times over. No, don't have to contemplate it. Aslan is not a Tame Lion

Your criticism is pushing an enslaved ideology that I personally hold distain for. Disdain?
You were born free. Start acting like it, damnit. I wasn't. But I was on sale. Aslan is not a Tame Lion

Well, I didn't need someone to point out for me how my existance has been without true purpose, and I would never deny it or ignore it, if it was pointed out. And I am "learning". An environment where ideas are discussed. I haven't been brought into meaningless work, and jobs designed for profit. I'm not sure I understand what you are talking about. What is "true Purpose?" Over the years I have had quite a few jobs. Many have been exciting and challenging, loads of fun and a chance to really stretch out and do new things, others were less pleasant, some down right horrid, but still I learned something in every one and made friends as well along the way. Is purpose something you strive towards, or is it the summation as you look backwards? For awhile I was an optician. I made and fitted eyeglasses for folk. At the time it was a messy, nasty job where you burned your fingers daily, cut yourself several times a day, required exacting methodology and also art. I thought the "True Purpose" was those moments when you fitted a pair of glasses and had the person turn around and look out the window and you got a response like "Leaves! The tree has leaves!" Then one day, there was a loud crash back in the lab. One of the owners had a heart attack. I rushed to the back and he was on the floor, not breathing, no sign of pulse. I immediately started giving mouth to mouth and trying to get the heart started. I yelled to the others that were standing about to call an ambulance, showed one how to do the compression while I continued doing the mouth to mouth. As a team, we had him breathing on his own and heart pumping by the time the ambulance arrived. He was conscious, eyes open and knew who he was. So maybe that was the "True Purpose?" One other thing to consider though. On the way to the hospital he had another massive heart attack and was DOA. So, now, can we look back and see what the "True Purpose" was? Aslan is not a Tame Lion

You helped someone heroically. Nothing heroic about it. He drank a lot and had thrown up and it was about as unheroic a situation as is imaginable.
You gave purpose to this absurdity. Really? What purpose. He died less than 15 miutes later. Hint: There is a purpose in there but so far it seems unlikely you will find it. You did what Jesus would have done. Yeah right. Jesus was well known for halfassed miracles and giving folk hope then snatching it away. LOL
And in an environment of mediocrity, where the taken-advantage of, the satisfied, the vast majority, the decieved, the lied to, the slaves to the system reside. YadaYada.
I wanted to tell you all to leave that place, but it is safe, and simple. You cannot be a guide when you have never been anywhere. Aslan is not a Tame Lion
