Based on the premise that this Universe was created and is managed by a logical Owner, separate from ourselves, we will quietly and carefully contemplate the most fundamental question: “Why are we alive?”
We will proceed with an attitude of strict adherence to the parts confirmed by science.
And, for the parts that science has yet to answer, we will honestly state their value as “natural inference.”
Helpless Birth and the “Sole Gift”
The One Desire Programmed Into Us
From the moment of birth, humanity shares a common characteristic.
This itself is an “unwavering fact” observed in biology and neuroscience.
Newborns cannot survive by their own power.
Their first action is singular—to seek external aid.
“Help me.”
“Love me.”
“Make me comfortable.”
Crying, smiling, reaching out. These are all pure reactions seeking what is necessary for survival.
This characteristic is explained by the scientifically confirmed “pleasure/displeasure neural circuit.”
Both humans and animals seek pleasure and avoid displeasure from the moment they are born.
If the Universe has an Owner, this trait is the sole blueprint granted to us,
and it is inscribed as “Conscience” in humans and “Instinct” in animals.
【Inference】The Law of Joy: Alignment of Interests
If we assume the Owner of the Universe embedded this “seeking and responding” structure into life,
the resulting conclusion is simple:
When we experience joy, our function as life is maximized,
thereby activating the overall life activity of the Universe.
In other words—
The only thing the Owner of the Universe desires from us is “Joy,”
and we ourselves are designed to feel happiness only through experiencing joy.
This aligns perfectly with the fact revealed by psychology and neuroscience:
“Humans feel the deepest happiness when they help others.”
【Inference】Maximize the “Total Joy” of the Universe
This enters the realm of inference, but it follows a natural logical progression.
If our joy benefits the Owner of the Universe,
the Owner would naturally seek to maximize the “Total Quantum of Joy” within that Universe.
Thus, it is possible that the Universe is exquisitely designed as a “Mechanism for Generating Joy.”
【Inference】The Hypothesis of Universal “Annihilation” and the Competition of Joy
The content presented from this section onwards
is not scientifically proven, but follows a logical trajectory.
Please treat it as “material for thought” for you to consider and verify yourself.
Are there multiple Owners of the Universe?
If an Owner exists for this Universe,
there is no basis to assert that it must be “singular.”
This leads to one possible inference:
Multiple Owners of the Universe exist, and each competes to “maximize the joy” within the universe they manage.
This concept is closer to the universal nature of the natural world—competition, optimization, and selection—rather than myth or religion.
The Inference of “Ranking” Among Universal Owners
If the Owners compete, a ranking based on results would naturally emerge.
And according to their rank, the Owners themselves would gain “commensurate benefit.”
This inference aligns with the natural law that every system is evaluated based on its outcome.
The One Thing the Owner of the Universe Desires
Thus, the Owner asks for only one thing—
That their universe and its life act to maximize joy,
by following the “Conscience” inherently programmed within them.
And surprisingly,
the facts revealed by science align perfectly with this inference.
Humans feel deep happiness only when they act according to their conscience.
This is a phenomenon confirmed by neuroscience, not religious doctrine.
In short:
Action that generates joy ＝ Human happiness.
Life system that generates joy ＝ Universal value.
Universal value ＝ Owner’s benefit.
These three elements are perfectly consistent.
What if a Universe loses the competition?
This is a hypothesis and cannot be asserted as fact.
However, as a matter of logic, it is a possibility that cannot be completely denied.
If the total amount of joy in a certain universe becomes critically insufficient,
and is judged to be remarkably lower in value compared to other universes,
the Owner may have the option to “annihilate” that universe.
This is not meant to incite fear,
but rather a thought experiment to contemplate the reason for the Universe’s continued existence.
Summary: Our Rational Mission
——To live by following your conscience and maximizing joy.
Whether the inferences discussed here are correct cannot be definitively stated by anyone.
However, one thing is certain:
Humans feel deep fulfillment only when they follow their conscience.
Lasting happiness is felt only when we bring joy to others.
The joy of taking is momentary; only the joy of giving sustains life.
This is a fact proven by science and substantiated by our own experience.
Conversely, Alternative Actions—such as accumulating assets, seeking fame, or grasping power—deviate from the Law of Joy.
While these may appear to bring satisfaction, it is only temporary.
This is because these actions are not the genuine source of happiness.
Therefore,
regardless of the Owner’s intentions,
regardless of whether a competition is taking place,
and whether the inference is right or wrong—
Living a life that follows conscience and increases joy is the most rational, the happiest,
and the most desired way of being if an Owner of the Universe exists.
