Beyond Good and Evil by Friedrich Nietzsche.
Chapter 1, my thoughts pt2.
Nietzsche speaks of there being no will, but there has to be a will, the one absolute is that there is a devine will that has brought order out of chaos. It is that devine will that takes the atom and gives them meaning gives them purpose. It is then those atoms that come together and create the Universe that we live in, that works. A Universe that we can live in and have expectations.
To question the “I” or the “One” is to question that very will that brought Order out of Chaos, to make us. We are not billions of atoms with billions of souls. We are billions of atoms that were brought together, by the will of the devine, and placed one soul inside this small universe that is me, my body.
I remember a very simple or simplistic example that my father gave me when I was a child. He said, “When you are insulted, what do you feel?” My response was, “I hurt.” He said, “Yes, and that is a very real feeling.” “But” he said, “What is it that hurts?” “Is it your hand that hurts? Is it your foot that hurts? Is it your hair that hurts?” I responded, “No, It’s something inside me.” “Yes.” My father responded. “That is your soul. And when you die it is that soul that will go back to the devine creator to give an account of what it did.”
Thus, that soul is on loan, you might say, to this body of billions of atoms that will dissolve into its smallest parts, when it dies, but that soul, the “I”, will continue on.
It is that soul that hurts when I am insulted, and when I question the “I” or the “One”, to the statement “I think or One thinks”, I am questioning the creator, and I am questioning the reason behind why I think. The divine creator created us not only to think but so that we might also act. We have a certain amount of freedom or free will inside the bounds or limits of this greater Universe where we exists. And the purpose is that I might have joy, that I might come together with others like me and we can enjoy this world and all that is on it.
Whether that’s sky diving, or playing a game with my family, or just sitting and reading a good book. Each activity, especially when done with others, brings peace, contentment, and Joy. And that is why we are here and that is why the I exists.

quoting note12da…cs9uBeyond Good and Evil by Friedrich Nietzsche.
Chapter one, my thoughts. pt1. Nietzsche speaks of actors and philosophers.
When I think about Nietzsche's words, I see actors vs actors and philosophers vs philosophers.
There are Actors who have real lives but pretend to live out others lives. Just as there are real people who are just Actors pretending to live out their pretend lives.
There are philosophers, who pretend to see the meaninglessness of the universe. Just as there are insignificant people who give a meaningless universe real meaning.
Don't be the flea on the dog's back, rather be the atom.
