Eggsistential crisis

Bill: "Dad, why are we here?"

Dad: "Wow. I thought I'd have more time before this came up.

Nobody really knows why we are here. This world we are on is an infinitesimally small speck in the vast soup bowl of the universe and we are an infinitesimally small speck on this world. Since humans came along, billions of  people have been born; they've had families; they've had thoughts, dreams, hopes, and aspirations; some lived for a short while and others for a long fruitful life; and the world just keeps spinning. It's awe inspiring and yet, even with all of these billions of lives, the scope of it all can make you feel isolated and alone and can make it all seem a little meaningless.

Some try to ground themselves in religion or spirituality in order to make sense of it all. Christianity, Hindu, Islam, Judaism, Buddhism, Taoism, Shinto, Sikhism, Baha'i, Jainism, Tenriism, et al. They all have their strong points and faults but at the end of the day nobody really knows what is wrong and what is right. Most believe we are created by some higher power or deity while some believe we are reincarnated when we die and come back to live as other creatures. I was raised Christian but it didn't really take. I was athiest for a while but those guys are kinda dicks and I'm not so much against religion as I just don't care. You do you, I say. I think the main point is if people remember you and loved you then you will live forever with them regardless of the choice of beliefs.

So I guess what I'm trying to say is that nobody knows why we are here. Just be a good person and be happy and the rest will sort itself out. Does that answer your question?"

Bill: "Uhh.. not really. I meant why are we here... at the store?"

Dad: "Oh. Well we gotta get eggs."

Bill: "Yasss! I love eggs!"

Dad: "I know you do, buddy."

Bill: "Hey Dad, if chickens come from eggs... where did the eggs come from?"

Dad: "I dunno. Probably some chicken God. Or the Big Bang."

Bill: "Hehehe... Bazinga!"
