Why do you do what you do?

[anagogy]

Pretty straight forward question.  Why do you do what you do, at all?

What is your Purpose for Being, or Reason for Continuing?

I can't say I have an answer, I am nihilistic, I have no real point of or for being as far as I know.  But I think it'd be a good question to ask.

Anyone want to share, why you do what you do?

To experience joy.  And satisfaction.  Sharing joy tends to increase our own joy and satisfaction.

I don't always feel joy, but the times that I don't give me a greater appreciation for when I do, so you can even be grateful for those out of alignment times.  Sort of like: you gotta be a little hungry to really enjoy a meal, or a little cold to really appreciate the warmth, or a little sick to truly appreciate vibrant health. They also highlight preference and allow you to focus more eloquently on what you really want to experience.

So basically I just follow my bliss, to the best of my clumsy human precision at doing that.  Usually that involves following wherever my fickle interests take me.  My life is very unstructured, and I've come to terms with that is how I'm supposed to be.

Everything everyone does is ultimately for emotional fulfillment.  If they aren't, then they are robots, performing monotonous routine functions, and their lives probably feel meaningless and dull.  And everybody goes through emotional cycles of not feeling fulfillment, because we are constantly expanding, and our emotions register whether we are keeping up with our own expansion or not.
