Life

In my opinion, species propagate, so that they can learn about themselves, from others. The desire for self knowledge, makes a species want to propagate. Because this desire was so strong in our ancestors, is the reason that the procreational act affords so much pleasure. Man can in my opinion realise this because he functions differently from other species, because he is less dependent on his physical characteristics. The mind of the human being developed more rapidly than his body, and also more rapidly than the minds of ordinary animals, because man, being physically less adept than other species, had to depend upon the mind, for functioning. The Human being, for survival, has to follow ethical codes, because this sets him apart from animals. If he does not, then he becomes the weakest, and most dangerous of animals, due to his physical frailty. Before the origin of the desire for knowledge, there was no knowledge, and That Power, is God. Normally, when a species should have the propogative urge, to duplicate itself, pain should be the result. Because this urge for self knowledge is so strong, the brain interprets intense pain as intense pleasure. The higher a species evolves, the more intense is this pleasure. The sexual propagative interest in the opposite sex may just be a path towards better self knowledge, embarked upon by an individual living being. Please comment on my blog posting.
