Imagine you're a toy in a box. You don't know what the box is for or why it's there, but one day, the box opens and you get to play! That’s kind of like how we think about human existence. We are here, but we're not sure why. People have been thinking about this question for thousands of years.
Examples
- A child asks their parent: 'Why are we here?'
- A pet dog looks at its owner, confused.
- A star is born, just like humans.
