What are we waiting for?

So I was like bored as hell today, and I started thinking to myself. What am I waiting for? I'm bored now, so does that mean that something is going to happen to me? But what are any of us waiting for? Why are we even here? Are we supposed to become as successful as possible? Or just be happy? Well for most of us, success=happiness, so for most of us, we are trying to be as successful as possible for our own happiness, to fulfill our ultimate goal. But what if that's not why we are here? Maybe we are put on earth to make everybody else's life easier. But nobody is standing right next to me trying to help me, or make me happier, or make things easier for me, so that can't be it. The most plausible reason for existence is that this is all a test to see if we are worthy of eternal salvation, heaven, or whatever the fuck you wanna call it. But all that was from a theological standpoint. Thinking about it scientifically, I would say that we are just highly a advanced species. So advanced that we can think for ourselves, and make decisions. So advanced that we have harnessed the power of nature and created a complex society. But that doesn't make very much sense to me, because humans are so very young. Mammals for that matter are very young, too. If you accept science and nothing else, then you can say that we are not put here for any reason at all. You can say that we are here for breeding, eating, sleeping, and dying. Even if you accept science, it still makes sense that we are only here to be happy. To be happy, and then die. But then, what happens when we die? What will happen to our mind and memories? It's a scary thing to think that when we die, it is just blackness. It is an exciting thing to think that we come back s some supernatural, celestial being, to do whatever you want. But, for now, I'm just gonna go with the flow. I'm too young to be pondering the mysteries of the universe. Now is the time for me to live it up. So, goodbye, for now. I hope I have stirred up something in that brain of yours.
