So a conversation with a cherished long-time friend this morning sparked a little metaphysical reflection...
Why are we here?
Are we here to discover our true selves?
Are we here to help others discover who they really are?
Are we here to remember things our souls have long forgotten?
Are we here to choose sides in some biblical battle of good versus evil?
Are we really spiritual beings having a human experience and not human beings have a spiritual experience as Pierre Teilhard De Chardin suggests?
Are we here to ask these questions of ourselves or accept the answers presented by others?
More questions to ponder:

In deed a great question to ask ourselves. I think the actions we take and the life we live is a reflection of what we believe, consciously or unconsciously, the answer to that question to be.
