am not philosopher but i like this type of questions. so 1. You were dead before you opened your eyes on this planet. You're going to die one day for sure. Everybody dies. The time in between is where you live. i think Life in itself has no purpose at all. One needs to give his life his own meaning. To give a meaning you need to know what interests you. To know what interests you, you need to learn new things. So go out and try new things. Try & Fail. You'd eventually find something that you thoroughly enjoy. When you find it, master it. 2. What is ur definition of normal ppl? and why do u think that's normal? 3. if we look back to history, there are evidence that religion was here before civilizations emerge, and i might agree with a statement where religion was and will be fall and rise of civilization, but not human beings as species. be cause the idea of religion is in its core have the hope and the purpose. where we are rly conscious beings, asking questions like the 1st question, knowing the meaning of death and life, and for that reason i dont think its downfall in fact its opposite.
