Have you ever just really sat back and thought about life? It can be pretty depressing...right? To think about your purpose on this earth, your fate, it can be damning, if you believe in that type of thing. For the sake of this blog, let's just say you do. What would you say your purpose is? Would you say that you are fulfilling it? Think about this...if people have one singular purpose, then life is nothing more than a role being played. The decisions you make and percieve as choices are nothing but mere illusions. That would mean you are predetermined to be what you will be, despite your hopes, dreams, and wishes. No amount of wealth, education, or status can change the role you've been destined to play. Pretty depressing, right? Too bad I just getting started.

Have you heard of an insect called the "Mayfly?" It's names derives from the Greek name "Ephemeros," which means short-lived. This insect also is know as the "one day fly." For adults, the life span can range from 30 minutes to a single day, depending on the species. Now I mention this insect for the purpose of purpose. When this insect is born into the world, it has a singular purpose, and that purpose is to mate. Don't get me wrong, that's one hell of a purpose, and if your only going to live for a short while, come on...come on, that's one hell of a way to go out.

Take the concept of the Mayfly, and apply it to your life. No, not the the mating, but the fact that it has it singular purpose. That would mean people who are criminals were born to be criminals. Despite a loving childhood, and influential upbringing, these people were born to lie, steal, and kill.
