I Always Fake Them And He Never Knows

I came across this today and thought it was interesting...enjoy.

Imagine you are placed in a solid metal cage, you are given enough food and equipment to survive for as long as neccessary. You are told that no body is going to look in the cage during your life or even after your life and that you will never be allowed out of the cage. So you sit there and wonder whether there is a point in trying to stay alive.According to you it is important to try and stay alive simply for the sake of it.How can this make any sense?

Now, imagine it is not just you in the cage, but somebody else of the same gender. Is there anything you can do that gives your life a meaning?I thought not...Now imagine the other person in the cage is of a different gender and you can reproduce together. Is there really any point?

Ok, finally, imagine that there are 6 billion people in the cage together and that no one outside knows they are there, or will probably ever know. Is there really any point at all in them trying to survive?
