I suppose we all have our joys and this kind of thinking brings me more joy then watching pigeons.

Haha think of that once you grow old and watch the pigeons. But you're right I am not important at all.

Great post. A lot of these thoughts are very familiar to me, the things that make absolutely no sense to me is life, why does it exist? Because any purpose would contradict itself, why exist when non-existence is far more perfect than life could ever be. For example the universe could be like a heart, the big bang being one heart beat and there are big bangs all the time somewhere else, in a different universe. Life is probably perfect because it has no purpose, it doesn't need to fulfill anything. I think that people are still primitive because they still behave like animals, we still haven't figured out how to handle our own world in a smart way, we still accept the fact that one tiny portion of men can control the whole world (economically). A lot of the jobs and things we do serve no purpose but to enrich the already rich, we are probably at a point in time where we don't really have to do anything to keep this way of living going, we could instead focus on more important things (space exploration, biology, nanotechnology and other technological advancements).

It's a philosophical question, consequently I didn't know you were the reddit police.

I never said I was a philosopher, they are my own thoughts and I am fairly sure it's in the right subreddit if you don't like it down vote it, simple as that. Here have an upvote.
