existence or "c of life"

/********************************************************************
This work has come from an attempt over 50+years to rationalise the diversity of humanity.
In particular the different ways different cultures and different groups within them rationalise
their own views, beliefs and ways of living, while others around them hold often completely different beliefs and ways of living.

It is formed in a computer program style because some of the fundamental rules inherent in computer software add an intrinsic calrity and simplicity to what happens next. If you are unfamiliar with these techniques, I appologise, but this is a geeky site...

This simple and honestly only half formed program give an outline to an individuals modus operandum, without making any judgement at all. I have no desire to judge - I have no knowledge on which to judge.

The program does not rely on the nature of our own beliefs, even if any beliefs at all, in general terms it captures some essence of what we must face. Certainly no judgement by me or of anyone. Human judgement simply becomes a factor in our perception of our own or someone else's worth. Our perception of our own worth is unknown in absolute terms to what I have termed true worth. I do not know what true worth is, but should it exist, What we think of as important and worthy, may not actually be so.

If we measure it against what a religion or own religion (if any) might decree, then that serves some short term purpose. But with the myriad religions and beliefs, there are no certainties, except in our own perception, that we have chosen the right one.

All passionate believers will say they know the true religion and truth. But this is not the same as another's. Therefore perhaps all are right, only one, or none. This is catered for in the program. Our perceived values are noted as different to the true ones. The true ones are intentionally left defined elsewhere. We do not have a humanity wide consensus of what the true worth, true religions (if any) are. Without consensus, there can be no fundamental human assumptions on how others should live their lives. That sounds in many ways like a good thing, but most people find it hard to accept other peoples ways of living, or views.

We find it impossible to accept that another's choices for living are better than ours. I have been most surprised over the years, how little we want to accept let alone understand another's position.

We have a constant desire to change people to our way of thinking, or as a minimum to at least explain why their way of thinking is wrong. I have yet not been bothered to write any code for the function live_life(). This is at the core of what we individually do. What we learn or chose to ignore during life, how we change and grow or self destruct. This is so wide ranging a function that I only imagine some of its myriad forms. But the essence of it is that it builds our own perceptions of worth, and perhaps records and banks our true worth. If there is no god then this is harmless and catered for, as oblivion() becomes the final function; If there is a god, then the point of life, should there be any, would be to build self worth that is actually measured against the rules that god operates by. However, as stated before, there is no human worldwide and culture wide consensus of what rules god uses. If there is a god, then my assumption is that death probably brings some level of measurement against god's rules.

Do we measure up? That is not the point of the program. The point is to say that in some scenarios of death, this may happen. In other scenarios, there is no final judgement. Which scenario is correct? That depends on parameters defined externally. We do not know. Or at best, if someone does know, we can not differentiate that from all the other truths that seem equally valid and equally passionately lobied for belief by all.

The interested reader may want to build functions, correct mine and chose definitions of what these parameters may be. But I have no desire or certain knowledge on which to base them. Instead, I try to embrace that lack of certainty, and let it drive me on for continued work.
