If one disregards the concept of God, and the fact that there is no creator of the world and mankind. One must then begin to realize that there is no prupose to the world itself. If there is a purpose it is one that has been created by man itself, and thus – one would instantly believe just after realizing this - a false purpose. If there is no God, however, then all purposes would then have to be false purposes, but if there are only false purposes and no true purpose then what makes the false purposes false? Therefore, one must conclude that there are no false purposes only purposes. However, if there are only ‘purposes’ that man creates then are all purposes true purposes? I cannot agree with that statement either. I dont think there are any “true” or “false” purposes. I think there are only puposes some better then others. It is the job of mankind to search for a purpose that is worthy for the race to follow, and thus we must find the best purpose.
In order to find the purpose that is right and most beneficial to us we must first figure out what kind of world we are living in now and what kind of world we wish to live in. When one usually talks about the world we live in you would hear the words global, capialisitic, democratic, modern . . etc etc. They will tell you of the world that man has created for himself on earth thus far; however, I think we must look at things from a more general perspective; which, in a way, is a more simpler perspective. We, as humans, create our world from the natural world. We reshape natural things and give them a human purpose, and thus we create an aritificial world which is our own.
The natural world is the world as it is without human influence. It is a world that was never created but just seems to exist in complete chaos and is not maintained at all. The artificial world is human based and is created from man. We change the natural world into something that we wish to live in. Thus man does not adapt to his surroundings but makes his surroundings change ro him. Thus giving the earth a consciouse will and a purpose; which is completely lacking in the natural world.
