Are humans eligible for life?

No one should have the right to decide on that. Nor any group or majority, for reasons I’m sure, at the very least hope; everyone can recognize. But, humor me as you go through my first ever rant on medium…

To decide on the eligibility of something, whether to keep or dispose of, in this case the human life. We’ll need to understand its behavior and purpose. We connect in our world with our goals, whatever they may be: Wealth, whatever form it comes in, happiness, health and everything else in life we enjoyed experiencing for a given time. Those few are the highlights of our goals with some variations and they’re good, we need to experience.

Our behavior in this world seems to have always hustled our goals, and slowly convinced us of being a friend. By our behavior, we have established all the necessary illusions that might completely bring down and crash our goals. Or at the very least tweak them against us.

Money — a highly praised invention that we can spend our time for so we can spend it back and in exchange for services we sell. It sounds like a construct. How can happiness, one of our goals, relate to money?

Sure, it can expand your garage by one more slot for that one car you always wished for. Or just a Civic. It would make you happy either way. It would make you happy when the time you spent out of your life finally saved up for a place you can own for whatever time you have left that is very short and late. Is that really happiness?

We say money doesn’t buy happiness. I think it’s true. Although, It does buy something similar; a very short lived version of happiness maybe. Like when you put your first payment on the house you wished for. And when you put your last, you’re a happy owner for a while. Is that really true happiness?

Most of us live and leave without experiencing happiness, and for most of us it may even be that we don’t know what that is. We just know it can’t be bought. Our true happiness is affected and slowed down by the illusion, the construct that we have created — money. And now we preach that money can’t buy happiness because we went too far deep in our own illusion that we actually needed to remind ourselves again; that the happiness we buy is not truly happiness. That’s our purpose trying to remind our goal; that our behavior is driving them apart.

So, you see, our goal is tinted by our behavioral constructs. And because of that it strayed away from our purpose, when all we need is to have our purpose, exactly as is, become our goal. Not even the other way around.

I say, and not surprised, that our behavior is not friendly at all. I do not only mean towards all the other forms of life, the planet and environment or the long list of that nature. What I mean is our behavior towards our higher self; our purpose.

Our purpose is to grow. And I think it will always be regardless of the form of existence we’re in. We as a conscious spec plant ourselves into a fetus, and that grows. The child that was once a newborn also grows. The adult who was a growing young child also grows. Growth not only in size — not only in the aging sense. But the continuous, never stopping growth. At least ideally. And the only effective way of growing, at least in my experience, is to experience — to feel.

The more extreme peaks of the feelings you experience, the more knowledge you gain about life around you. Given your experiences are not tinted. When you gain enough knowledge about a particular subject, you start to go deeper into the branching topics, you start to expand your knowledge. In a similar way, the knowledge you gain about this life (world) will intrigue you for other related knowledge. So you grow as you’re supposed to, beyond this life.

That is our purpose; to grow beyond our life and world, it is then how we can move on into new chapters. Provided our experiences building our knowledge are valid towards our purpose. So when our goals, tinted by our unfriendly behavior act as our purpose, and we try to experience things in a way that matches our goals — we get to go through inefficient experiences. That really slows down our growth to our purpose, and might even bring it to a full stop. And that same unfriendly behavior extends to every other thing that is surrounding us.

So…although I’m sure the answer to the title question is clear. However, if I may suggest an alternative question; shouldn’t we break all the illusions and the constructs that we devised, and dethrone our behavior, and give ourselves the same goal that is exactly the purpose of our higher self? Maybe then, we and every other thing around us will grow again — then we can further prove our eligibility.
