We exist for the same reason we wake up every day. For someone like Diana Kim for example it's a sense of duty to her people and her state. For me its to stop a religion that wants nothing more than to subjugate all around it and a honest belief in the fact that people like myself are in essence saving the cluster from an evil that wants to encompass us all, and thus one must improve themself to be ready when that time comes when these little wargames we play become all out war. I'm sure everyone is different on these thoughts but there's some examples. It's a sense of a task that must be accomplished and should be, to us atleast, at all costs. If your really asking that, maybe you should think long and hard before you continue down whatever path you take.... The answers are in front of you, just as they are for anybody. You just need to find the right one for you in what essentially is a wave of causes in a sea of stars.
As i'm not a religious man of any standing and at best am a reasonable capsuleer, my thoughts on this are very very simple. You can wonder and examine your destiny and your purpose but....
The most astute of us will find the niche that we fit perfectly and fulfil it to our full potential. We may not be the best at everything but what we do we do well.
The most ignorant of us will strive beyond our capabilities and then push beyond even that. Doing well but never to the full potential and occasionally horrifically failing.
The worst are as are those who don't try at all. We coast along on the glory of others and hide from our own paths.
So always try to find your niche and then realise you are in it before you pass beyond.

If in doubt , SHOOT !

Does the why really matter?
To some? Yes.
To most? No
It's just a shame that those who know the answer are not saying. No matter how much we beg, plead, barter, whine, grovel or demand.
Still the theories posted here are quite enlightening.
For my 2 Isk's worth.
War whilst costly, breeds profit in additional avenues. Ships are needed and with only 4 major races to chose from (Pirates/Faction are discounted as they're just opportunistic entrepreneurs) the BULK are generated with taxes, industrial payments, material gains all going to the 4 major races. The longer the wars progress, the greater the funds pushed back into the warring sides. Even with capsuleers pushing deep into unknown reaches bpo's and c's, pos's, citadels all have to originate from somewhere and usually the roots can be traced back to one of the 4 races.
All in all, the capsuleers have been the mainstay of funding for the major races. 'WHY would they want that to stop?' would probably be a more astute question
