Well to progress and preserve our genes, yup. I agree. But that is ok, it is what it is. Richard Dawkins talks about why do we ask what the purpose is when it is inappropriate to ask. One of his examples was that it is appropriate to ask when we are asking the purpose of something designed in a factory or by a human, because it was designed with a purpose in mind. But when we ask what is the purpose when talking about other things like rocks and air, that it is inappropriate ( not a correct question ) The universe, stars.. Maybe there is no purpose, no specific goal.

I don't think making your human experience more comfortable or enjoyable is about other people. Then again I no longer take the meds either. Because I did not find they helped me, rather hindered, I am only speaking for myself here. But could the point be to better your own experience here? Being born in a human body, mind.. human consciousness is quite something, it's a random chance. I feel kind of lucky to have it. Which is where I find my point. Also what we know, is only what we think, what do we really know? I don't know that it actually matters so much tho, just like passing on our genes, does it matter to me if they are mine.. no. But I do think that while I am here might as well use this experience to the fullest that I can. Why? Cause I can, I don't think there needs to be a purpose to it. I think we have a hard time with that concept. I'm ok with it, but still ok with going on too.

I don't believe people are functioning normally in life, we are all functioning differently, even "normal". I know lots of "normal" people, they are all different than each other. They function different, operate different. I dunno, maybe it's just how I see it. Normal, I don't think exists, I think we just perceive others to be so.
