Late night, tired, incoherent ramblings on

The Purpose (Meaning) of life
Let us try to break life down to its’ simplest form. Not biologically but to determine its’ source and reason. Life to some is a matter of chance. Numerically effectively impossible but chance nonetheless. To others, life was created and given by God. (Be he the Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist, or any other god.)
If life is a matter of chance, then there is no purpose to life other than what we determine the purpose should be. If life is given by God then surely there must be a reason behind it. It would not be enough to say that god placed us here and let things happen as they will, and when we die, he will arbitrarily decide what he is going to do. In other words, he really could not be bothered until the time he has to be. Again, with this view we end up with no purpose for life whatsoever. If however we believe that life is from God and that God wants to be and in some instances is involved in our lives then we must conclude that there is a purpose to life.
If you happen to believe in reincarnation, what then is the purpose to life? Is it really a purpose when for eternity you will repeat life with differing purposes forever? We know that life is generally a troublesome thing with more sorrow, pain, and unhappiness than the opposite. Why would anyone care to repeat such for eternity? Why not accept that life will end physically but continue for eternity in a spiritual non-corporeal, perfect state?
I find it impossible to accept life without meaning and purpose. It is nigh impossible for me to believe in such reasons as mentioned above and the many other reasons unmentioned. Chance (evolution) offers my mind no concrete, scientific, empirical reason(s) to believe there is even a hint to its validity. How does one place ‘truth’ on the back of chance and call it a fact? This very suggestion harbors no logic at all.
If I find it impossible to accept life without meaning and purpose, am I not in error to create something that will give me purpose? Am I not in error choosing between theories and determining to accept one that I find palatable? That would not truly be purpose but merely a perception of purpose. Perceiving something on which to base belief is not the same as knowing something to be true. Can we know anything to be true? I am not sure that anything can be known definitively. I am not sure that we can know anything without having some doubt.
I think part of our psyche is reserved to be exercised by ‘faith’ only. That part can never be operated by reason and logic for reason and logic will never apply in that part of our psyches. The illustration is that of humankind knowing that the body works as it should but we cannot explain what gives the body life. There is nothing we can photograph or put our collective finger on and say that this is what gives life. We do not know and may never know. So it is with the ‘faith psyche’. It is an intangible that can never be proven.
