Either
A.) We are to raise dogs...
B.) To make plastic... the world is run by plastic! Plastic here! Plastic there! Plastic in my shoe! Plastic in my money!
C.) To figure out why we are... one must ask... why are we not? We are not here to figure why we are... adding meaning to everything is not important for living life. We are here to simply dig throught this world and cling to every damn material or idea that we feel makes us a better person in our own image. But, of course... you have to realize that if all that stuff... the music you listen to, the clothes you wear, your friends, the movies, the haircut, the ideas in your head... everything that makes you "you." If all that were stripped away... What would you be? There is correct answer: Nothing. But if everything WERE stripped away... there is still one thing that you COULD have... and once you figure that out... then you'll know everything...
