It's hard to tell what to do with thoughts like these...

For what purpose am I alive?

Am I alive...
...because I'm destined to do something?
What if I'm destined to do something worthless?

Am I alive...
...because I'm fulfilling a god's plan?
What can I do that a god can't?
Why wouldn't god do it her/himself?

Am I alive...
...because of a progressive series of events?
What kind of an excuse is that?

Am I alive...
...because two people decided they wanted one?
Why am I not just a servant?

Am I alive...
...because somebody, some people perhaps, wanted to see what would happen?
What's the difference between life and a complex simulation of life?

Am I alive?
