The never ending question, why are we here? We humans that is.  We have all asked it, we have all wondered about it, and we may have even listen to some try to answer it, this question that seems to be un-answerable.  Well, not long ago, I began a thought process that did not start with this question, but rather ended with it.  As it seems my thinking started with an answer, somehow, and an aha!..that must be why.

I can’t say exactly how it all started, my thought process that is, but i am pretty sure it had something to do with what is to me, an unbelievable progress of humans into treating what is to us life (very directly) as though it were something to be conquered and destroyed.  What I am talking about is everything of nature around us.  The trees, air, water, soil, animals, insects, and well I think you can see where I am going here, all of these directly or indirectly provide life.  We as Humans rely on these things for our own life.  There are certain scientific facts about what we need to live as humans.  Food, water and air are without question a vital necessecity.  If you question this, then go do some research and then come back….

My thought really starts here:  No matter where you are from, what your ancestry, religion, beliefs, etc…whether you believe in a creator or in evolution…it matters not….One constant in all is that somehow we came from the earth, whether it be through the process of evolution, or by the hand or a creator, or via the legends of the Native Americans of coming from the center of the Earth or some variation thereof.

We are a part of the Earth as a life like all others of this Earth.  So it makes sense that the Earth would be our life giver, doesn’t it?  It seems simple enough, but we have grown into a mentality that has taken us away from that basic concept of life.  We call her Mother Earth, for good reason….she is from whence we came, she is our beginning of human life and our contueing life giver.  Yet we do not treat her like our Mother.  We take her resources for granted, and use them as though we had contempt for her, or maybe as though it were owed us.  Yes, I have heard all the arguments; We are growing in population and we need (demand) more resources.  Hmmm….no doubt about that.  My question is why?  First is why do we need to continue to OVER-populate our Earth.  She does not grow, so should we continue to without regard?  Second is are we so limited in our thinking that we need to continue to deplete the same resources to fill the demands of a growing population?  Even in the face of destruction.  Or is it just that only the voices of the large and greedy are the ones heard and/or believed.  Experience and facts show the latter to be the case, I just find it amazing how many of us humans fall for it.  There are so many alternatives, viable and ready to used…and have been for a long time.  Scientifically we are well suited to do much better, just unwilling i think.

This does not answer the question however, as to why we are here…but I am getting to that.  You see I believe I have the answer to that question for a large majority of people, or at least a great beginning of thought to it.  It is my hope that you too will at least entertain the thought.  My thinking is this at start; In all the life on Earth, everything minus one, has a role to the actual cycle of life on earth.  That one is the Human.  Does this mean we have no role?  We are here for a reason…everything is…but what is it?
