SPIRITUALITY
Being Spiritual doesn't necessarily mean being religious. This area of the game is reserved for the unknown, uncharted, and the unquantifiable. Achieving balance in this area of the game is tricky. Some follow what others preach, others try to find their own answers to each of these questions. Achievement, I suppose, simply means being content and at peace with whatever you feel/know to be true for you.
WHO/WHAT AM I
The most basic and profound question of all. WE can of course take the biological approach and try to quantify ourselves by counting the cells and the elements from which we are made, but does that really answer our question? Feels like we are more than just a clever composition of carbon.
​
A famous quote from René Descartes comes to mind - "I think, therefore, I am".
WHERE ARE WE?
Earth, our Milky Way galaxy, the universe... and where is that exactly? Or is this a construct of some Matrix type of scheme and the reality we perceive is not actually real at all?
HOW DID WE GET HERE?
Did we really just evolve from a single cell organism? How did that organism come to be? Or were we designed and seeded as part of some larger intelligent masterplan? Maybe it's all a fluke, a mistake, a part of unfortunate, random mutations?
ARE WE ALONE?
While we can sleep at night not knowing the answers to the first few question, this one seems to bother us quite a bit more than the others. We seek connection, significance, and purpose. Discovering the answer to this question might hint at the previous three.
WHY ARE WE HERE?
Mans search for meaning and purpose echoes through the many generations with no clear answer. Are we here for the experience? Maybe procreation is our only mission? To build our own successors? You decide.
THE END GAME
Had a hunch this was coming didn't ya? Wise earthlings say that you should keep death in mind when you're coming up with your big life goals. Sounds a bit morbid at first, but if done right, will help you avoid wasting your life on meaningless, trivial bullsh*t.

This was fun! Let's do this again some time? Oh... wait...
WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?
Heaven? Hell? Darkness? Reincarnation? Nothing?
Roll the credits ya'll!
