Someone recently mused, "the purpose of it all is...," and I don't know what he was going through at the time, but he got me to thinking about life. The way I see it, in their perfect state, humans were created with more than the basic equipment. They had the capacity for far more than we do in our imperfection; but still we inherit the basics, for starters. For example, we have senses designed to take in the life experience--eyes to see (colors, flowers, oh he's fine!), ears to hear (sweet music, a baby's first word), a mouth to taste (mercy--food is my friend), nerve endings to help us feel (infant kisses, warm massage, great sex--hello!), a nose to smell (your favorite fragrance, baking, breakfast). But we were given so much more too--vision to see what is and what's not in front of us; instinct, intuition, imagination, and so on. Feel where I'm going with this?
We are so wonderfully made, that even in our imperfect state, the majority of us are able to enjoy so much, on so many levels, for whatever time we are allowed to be here. Then we also have free will that allows us to make choices. Life is about the experience. We are allowed to take part in a smorgasbord of beauty, sounds, wonder, amazement, love, laughter, pain, triumph, ... it goes on and on. Practically everybody here can enjoy something. Consider yourself fortunate, and thank God whenever you think about it, that you have had the pleasure of, and can find enjoyment in, anything--ever in your life. The purpose of it all is the most wonderful thrill ride--twists, turns, jerks, drops and all. The purpose of it all is the experience. The purpose of it all is starting in one place and ending up better, stronger, and wiser. It's about remembering that you were created, given life, and provided the tools to enjoy some part of it, with others like you, and being thankful to the extent that you praise God for it all.
