Hi, and welcome, Rebky.

I've replied to your query via PM...

[Rebky]

If I am a product of intelligent design, I would expect my tenure to be terminated at the will of such, if I am not fulfilling my purpose.

If I am a product of nature or evolution, then I may exercise some small part in the process of my life, which natural cycle shall conclude at the end of it's biology, or prematurely in the event of bad decision making.

Either possibility still begs the question of what purpose is served by the experience of searching for purpose or meaning in our existence.

Is that a serious question? What purpose is served by the experience of searching for purpose or meaning in our existence? If it is, I'll bite. I think the purpose served is the skill we develop in purposefully aligning ourselves with a current of energy ~ personal growth and Happiness will ensue ... We need to CHOOSE that current and we do so by being introspective and purposeful. We must become Mindfully aware or conscious of it, because it is NOT the one we naturally fall into. So the purpose is for personal growth, understanding, higher Consciousness and Happiness... getting caught up in a current that will not do the opposite and drown us.

Always avoid a void like the plague, as well as a vacuum, emptiness, nothingness, nullity, blankness, vacuity; empty space, blank space, gaps, cavities, chasm’s abysses, gulfs, pits, and black holes or else you will be voided, invalidated, annuled, nullified; negated, quashed, canceled, countermanded, repealed, revoked, rescinded, retracted, withdrawn, reversed, undone, and abolished; then you will feel empty, vacant, blank, bare, clear, free, unfilled, unoccupied, and uninhabited, and very much bereft of; lacking, wanting, without, with nary a snowball’s chance in Hell, not to mention invalid, null, ineffective, nonviable, useless, worthless, and nugatory.

Gee I gazed into a void (Introspection) and I became in time self-conscious....conscious of my behavior, conduct and actions and how they affect other people...
Far from feeling worthless...I did have to feel some remorse over my own unintended ignorance and from that came a higher moral regard for my own life and the lives of others...

Fredrick N. could have been right when he said "the abyss gazes also into you...."

Glad you reformed, Mikal, upon gazing into the naval battle of your belly button. Our rights end where others begin.

[Mikal]

I'll let my statement stand Austin. It somehow reflects that a mystery resides at the center...
Your rendition seems to somehow cheapen a quite serious transformation process important to life...

Happy that you transformed when down in the abyss.
