Why does existence has to be so imperfect. Could it have been better, or is
it already the best it could be? Why did it have to be in the first place?
Why do we have to struggle everyday for something we didn't create?
Should we struggle at all? Is the lingering feeling of incompleteness
avoidable or is it programmed in the reality? Everything we ever do is
ultimately aimed for achieving happiness, but noone in the recorded history
achieved the state of perfect bliss, or did somebody...even if someone did,
what did it mean? Should we accept the way it is? Are you the center of the
creation?

On a lighter note, 42 is the answer to Life, Universe and Everything as told
by 'The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy', and this happens to be the number
of this item too.
On a more serious note, the reason I broached this subject is the disturbance
created within me some days back when I was going through the Linux fortunes
database, where I found this fortune,
"I just forgot the whole philosophy of my life."
This exactly sums up what i felt at that time.

My feeling is that the "Why....?", "Should....?", "...ultimately aimed...?",
etc. approach of #1 is a side-effect of and/or set-up for andropomorphic
theism. You can get into a lot of interesting discussions that way, but
if you're looking for deeper insight and aren't strongly disposed to an
andropomorphic-god philosophy, i don't think that it's a fruitful approach.
