On existence

Dialogues on Checkerism

Wise man, why are we here?: Well, what brought you to this place?
To here? My curiosity, my will to learn, to better myself.: If you know that, why ask me?
Wise man, I must have asked my question incorrectly. I didn't mean to ask why I am here, receiving your education. Instead, I meant to ask why we, us humans, exist on this planet, today.: Ah, and why is it, that you believe your first answer doesn't apply to that question?
But wise man, how do my curiosity and will to learn and better myself account for human existence?: If that doesn't suffice, then what will?
