You're confusing "purpose" with "point."

The purpose is to end, it's inevitable, but that's not the point.

That could be argued. Purpose is a subjective outcome*; what one aims for when performing an action. Since living is objective, as is death, then the death of life is not a purpose - because it is not anticipated in a general sense. Before I dig a hole - I realize everyone anticipates death and can predict it will eventually happen, but not in an objective sense. Of course there are exceptions (suicide), but most people can't predict their death and aim to reach that prediction.


Therefore, in my perspective, an end is not a purpose, it is not the objective (goal), you don't purposely die... but it is how life operates. BAAHH, am I going anywhere with this?? I can't quite word this how I mean to... life is the cause of death. Therefore can death be the purpose of life?


don't hurt me.
