Of all the questions which have troubled an individual on the path towards salvation and coming to terms with whatever life generally tends to offer, "who am I?" - is probably the biggest, most uncomfortable and at the same time, the primary question to be answered. It is only when a man is willing to  that he does not matter, his entire existence is in vain and the struggles, benefits, victories and the emotional turmoil is in vain and going to end up being nothing more than a memory which is bound to be forgotten sooner than later - that he truly begins to start understanding what  humble means.

~ Do we live in order to fulfill a purpose or is it the purpose itself which gives us life?

~ Are we thinking because we are able to and can afford to do so or is it the additional brain power which causes thought itself to arise?

~ Animals, either domestic or wild, are living creatures too. It is said they have a soul., but they don't seem to be bothered about such mundane issues.

~ As a species, there is no evidence to suggest they are self-aware or are bothered about extinction.

~ Humanity seems to have yet to come to terms with the idea of it's own ignorance and appears to get distracted pretty easily by the notion of self worth.

~ Why would there be any dispute or difference of opinion if one knew that it's all coming down to zilch in the end.

~ Is time real? Is God real? Have we created both of them or have they created us?

~ What is life itself? And why do we need to find a purpose to be fulfilled?

~ Critically speaking, if one removes the social obligations and expectations of people, literally meaning ALL kinds of expectations - moral, societal, parental, professional and personal, from ALL sorts of people - parent, guardians, spouse, colleagues, friends, relatives etc., then what is left for you to do?

~ what would the Devnagri word - dharm, mean if you were the last man standing on the earth?

A wise man, long time ago, had reasoned about possibilities of a probable God and the consequences of encountering him\her\it after death:

$ if there was no God to be answerable to and you did not believe in him during your lifetime, there's little to be bothered about or lost.

€ if there is a God and you've been appeasing him during your lifetime in some manner, by following any religion(path) and it's teachings, then you are doing alright.

¥ if there wasn't any God but you followed something out of blind faith, even then you wouldn't have to worry about any of your misgivings or transgressions.

£ now the real issue to be worried about is, if there ended up being a God whom you must be answerable to, after death, and you had neither cared nor acknowledged., only then you'd have reason to be concerned!

What it means in terms of quantifiable metrics is that you have a 25% chance to be worried reasonably. 1\4th rate of success is a good ratio to have in the real world!
