The Basics--I may have already posted this...

 After years of studying different religions, the human body and how it works, observing the social patterns of humans and animals, the cosmsos, and just about anything else that interests me at that particular moment, my theory is pretty simple.  We need to get back to the basics.  We're too focused on the complexities of life that are beyond our control, and are beyond our abilities that too many of us are trying to be the equivalent of singular Gods by boosting ourselves up to a higher and higher level non-stop, and evolution is supposed to be a slower progression than that and, even when it's at its maximum, we're still looking past our greatest gift, which is actually one of the oldest that mankind has.  (I'll get to that in a minute)  Although we were designed for curiosity and have the capacity for greater understanding of how things work and for artificial creations, in what way is that going to benefit our individual futures once each of us are pushing up daisies?  In my opinion, there's a design to the universe overall, and whether that truly happened by chance or by some all-knowing, sentient force that we may or may not have ever been truly aware of, we can never hope to achieve such universal or galaxial or even planetary creation.  So, what do we really have, in us, that can not only be our way of creating life, but also a way to pass down our memories, our genetics, and basically the only remnants of "us" that we have to give?  Reproduction.  Families.  Love, compassion, being one with the Earth and doing things more naturally as opposed to artificially.  We are given everything we need to live...air to breathe, families to care for and love, water to drink, land to grow things on for food, etc., but we twist things for the purpose of personal power that a lot of us can't even successfully raise families, which is our true creationary (My new word for the day, even though it's really not a word) right, due to how mankind has tried to become individual artificial Gods.  Land, as an example, shouldn't have a price.  If you see a field and a tree is growing some apples, that tree is provided by the Earth and shouldn't have a penalty to walk on that land in order to feed yourself.  I mean, if we did things properly, as an example, and didn't always stay in one place, no one would ever have to worry about territories, and as we walked we'd be spitting out seeds and such and would ensure that no matter where we went, eventually there'd be something growing on that piece of land which could provide food for whoever passed by it.  But, instead, we build shopping malls, bow to the powers that be and recognize that even when we think we "own" land we never really own it due to taxes, and the list goes on and on and on.  And that, of course, is just a drop in the bucket of the unnatural things we do which forces us to live unnatural lives.  Okay, so I got off track a little bit.  Don't get me started on that whole concept of land ownership.  Anyway, to me, the purpose of life is that, in our own little way, the only way we can truly be like Gods is to produce life, and that means reproduction, which is the most basic but most long-lasting form of creation that we have, but most people seem to have lost sight of that.
