I want you to write a paper that seeks to answer these four questions and help us better understand why you have answered that way.

1. What is our origin? This question is not interested in your personal origin story but in how our collective existence of space/time began, if it did begin at all. This is the first and perhaps most important of all the questions because it is foundational to the remaining three. In all of your answers, I would challenge you to be consistent and correspond with each other less logical assumptions arise. 

2. What is the meaning of existence? While this may be the most well-known of the four questions, the search for the meaning of life is no less a salient pursuit. This question deals with the function of our existence. Is there some goal or point to life? I am interested in hearing how you seek to answer this question for yourself. 

3. What is our purpose? This question may seem synonymous with the question of meaning, but they remain discrete from each other through the correct lens. The question of purpose is interested in the enactment of meaning. How do/should we go about living our lives in a meaningful way? Is there a correct way of doing things? 

4. What is our destiny? When everything is said and done, we are all going to experience death. Given the finality of this existence, it begs the question about what is beyond this realm, if indeed anything exists at all. Many have attributed the temporality of this existence to being a motivator for living well. How do you seek to live both for/in this life and also for what may come next?
