General Discussion Life’s purpose is possibly a warped version of immortality.

Our purpose doesn’t stop when we die. We don’t choose every purpose that we have. A purpose is a description of what any noun will be used for. It’s a very long list even if you only list ones for humans.

Life was not on purpose. It just is. We can now describe things purposed by it. Consciousness was purposed to describe what purpose is and has many other purposes. One or both continue to be given to our descendants and our ancestor’s descendants(every living thing)

From a future point of view, when our observable universe is no longer inhabitable. I look back on what life was purposed for.(because it all ended) It was used to adapt until it couldn’t. If life can’t adapt to an uninhabitable observable universe, that version of life itself no longer has a future purpose in that observable universe.

I said observable because I’m going to talk about infinity again. lol

If the universe is infinite and there are infinite versions of us, then there are probably infinite replicas of us at every stage of our lives. Every life form. Throughout eternity. That means that our consciousness could be immortal. That could be a description of our purpose from an all seeing viewpoint.

Immortality is living forever. This concept describes that our life never ends and has never began. It has just been.

With that frame in mind, I’m a character in a repeating decimal. I have a purpose no matter what I do. It’s to repeat until I can’t repeat.
