The purpose of life is what each individual makes it to be.

The first two questions was to show that we ALL would have the same answers. The last question was left blank because many people will have many different reasons. The question is WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF LIFE? If i was to ask what the purpose of you eating food is, everyone would answer that without it we are dead, therefore we eat to live. But when one asks what is the purpose of life the majority of people simply dont know, many people think they do know, so the question is open for a variety of answers that we will get. Is the purpose of life working to live comfortably and giving your family a good life, and putting your kids to school so they can grow up and do the same for their kids and on and on? no its absurd, but many people whether they believe it or not live like this. This question is open for the serious, and if you dont know just say you dont know, but to you what is the purpose of life?

That's because the "purpose of life" is a relative concept, related to perspective....no one answer.....

in other words, you dont know, and no disrespect to you, but i was asking what you believe the purpose of life is, not what people believe, for it to have no one answer. Each person has one answer, either i dont know, or what they believe is the purpose of life.

^^Not that I dont' know, (which, in the scheme of things, I admit I do not). My statement was intended to show that your question, "What is the purpose of life?", is fundamentally flawed because, as I stated previously,
that purpose is a relative concept, dependent on whose perspective you are asking....

Ask a million people, get a million different answers.

IMO, we live in order to reproduce, just as our parents and our parents parents did. There is nothing else to live for - our purpose is to perpetuate human kind by creating new people. Every event from birth to death is simply a theatrical performance, we meet new characters, have fun, experience drama and love and feel pain and happiness, to name a few. However, without a legacy, it is all in vain (and that especially includes making money).

 

[miggidy]

The only answer the world currently has to that question is that our purpose is to pass on our genes....

I like someone else's answer, our purpose in life is to be the Earth's conscious.
GAIA









But I have my own personal belief....

 

[Abstrakt]

From a Gnostic point-of-view, I would say that the purpose of life is to ultimately return from which we've come--The All. Everything else we treasure in life i.e. family, money, and possessions are but an obstacle towards that goal.

no idea, but i know im not ready to die just yet.

THE PURPOSE OF LIFE IS TO REPRODUCE AND LIVE HAPPY. BUT IF YOU BELIEVE IN SCRIPTURE, THEN YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT WAS (gOD)'S ORIgINAL PURPOSE(WHICH HASN'T CHANgED). THIS TEMPORARY SHIT WE LIVIN' NOW, REALISTICALLY IS TO DIE. AND IT'S SOME BULLSHIT. BUT THRU FAITH, THERE'S HOPE. AND IF YOU BELIEVE THEN YOU ALREADY KNOW WHAT'S UP. IF YOU DON'T, THEN IT'S THE PESSIMISM THAT gOT YOU PERCEIVIN' SHIT AS YOU DO.

For those who believe in the scriptures i.e believing in heaven and hell, what would be the purpose of our life? wouldnt it be a test? those who pass are granted heaven and those who dont are given hell? If Gods purpose was for us to reproduce and live happy like you stated wouldnt we all be living in paradise?
