All of existence can be condensed down to a simple mistake, a sole error, or slip up in a systems method. In this case the system I am referring to is matter and its process before The Big Bang. A system can run without fault for hundreds, thousands, or millions of years, but at some point in time things may go, not necessarily wrong, but not the same as the majority of its workings. We see it day after day in other types of systems, and in the machines that we have constructed, random segments of code that have created unexpected, unauthorized, or unwilling protocols. The errors that appear on your computer screens every day, the skips in your CD’s, or the reason your alarm clock fails to go off when you are certain you set it. These protocols could proceed to become extremely influential happenings in the History of Existence, but most of the time they simply are irrelevant to all biotic and abiotic things within the system.
Now, some argue that if all of existence is just a blunder in time, then that must signify that the biotic life forms in this Universe have no purpose. Well, this statement is half true; if you are talking about a preconceived purpose, which came before time, then no . . . we have no purpose of that nature. Although, biotic life forms are completely capable of creating their own purpose or purposes, through a variety of difficult or not so difficult ways, if they so desire to. In this sense, there is no absolute purpose, meaning there is not one purpose that defies all the rest. With that in mind, it could also indicate that the ideas of right and wrong are irrelevant, there is no such scheme. Yet, society seems to partially be built on the principal foundation of right and wrong, when really they should be built on the principles of what someone wants versus what they do not want.
Example of the “Want vs. Do Not Want” Principle
On the lines of murder, we as a species have decided that it is wrong, when really it is more that we do not want it. These acclamations were probably created by the human mind, sometime during the beginnings of our existence. During the dawn of man, at some point, one way or another, an early human being probably killed or witnessed the killing of another human being; they most likely realized that there former communicator was not communicating anymore. As the days progressed and the rotting dead corpse does not rise from there death bed, the killer or the witnesses may come to realize that their previous fellow human will not be coming back, and they possibly started to feel there none existence as more of a burden, so they related that experience to the actions of the killing and came to the simple conclusion that they did not want to feel the burden anymore. There are many other occurrences that could have happened, and I am not saying that I am right, I could be very much wrong, but I feel that the main theme of my story is correct. We associate this on whether we want them or do not want them.
The system of existence, at the time of the Big Band, or the process of our evolution, or the path of the asteroids that nearly missed our planet, could have easily gone another way. Instead of the system running 10010 it ran 10110 and that is all that we really are; one or two numbers in an insanely large system, numbers that could have processed one way, but ended up being another. It does not make us lucky, or unlucky, fortunate, or unfortunate, it simple is.
Next time an error message pops up on your computer, take the time to realize that that message and you are exactly the same thing.
