thank you so much!
i think living a purposeful life is important because animals and plants are already programmed and conditioned by their former kin's actions to survive. but humans are very different in this sense because we are all born into all sorts of different social and economic circumstances.
you're right. we take the simple out of the equation and try to make living so complicated, when really it should be a straightforward things. simple is peaceful, complexity is stressful.

Congrats on finishing the book. After reading this post it makes me think of how we as humans have been blessed with this ability to change our destiny and actions in the world.
Most animals and plants have innate instincts on how they should live in order to survive but humans we are adapting to situations and not reliant on the instincts of our previous ancestors.
I think that sometimes this causes us to try and see where we fit in this world and what are purpose is because we are so complex and have made the worlds we live in even more complicated.
Although we have issues because of this uncertainty, I really think that it helps us as a species to be the true guardians or destroyer of the earth.
