If we are not meant to live a long life, than what;s the purpose of living and being in this earth?

Question

and what's the difference between living in this earth and living in paradise? how come people in paradise or heaven live a long life , but some

say that even in heaven or paradise,people can still die i guess god created us to let us live and died and i think that is a waste for him to create people that is not going to live that long?

Answer 1

You must reorient yourself.  Close your eyes and spin around and around.  Open your eyes.  You will see the world from a different perspective.  That, or something analogous to it, is what you will require to come to the full understanding that you are already in paradise.  I submit that it is the very brevity of life that makes each moment precious and irreplaceable, as evanescent as the attar of the rose and as piercing as its thorn...

Answer 2

Compared to some(most) other living things on Earth humans have a long life-span.

Answer 3

It is called survival. We exist and we only think about surviving. Death is an unknown so we fear it. But we convince ourselves that paradise exists on the other side of death.

Hope were right about that!!

Answer 4

i think its to learn and understand more

to gain more knowledge...

Answer 5

The purpose of living and being in this earth is to live as long as you can so you can learn and advance to infinity.

Based on what you wrote, I see that God is guilty for killing you later.  First, he or she or whatever brought you to life and then take away your life later.  

If that isn't killing without sin, what is it?

Hmmm... very interesting statement I just made!

Answer 6

Good question; If we are not meant to live a long life, than what;s the purpose of living and being in this earth?

Our purpose of life is to mature in character by developing in our character, courage, intuition, knowledge, understanding, counsel, worship, and wisdom.

In our soul the God like decisions that will develop our soul for its ability to transfer us to the next world. To accept God and the worship to being us with our soul to this next world.

Answer 7

to enjoy it :)

no i dont really believe that

Answer 8

My dad (and I agree) thinks that it is to experience life.

Love, hate, sorrow, happieness, anger, crazy people...

It's like we are just visting earth and soon will return to who knows where.

Also think of it this way, if you were always in, lets say a great heaven or something all the time and were only happy the emotion happieness wouldn't exist for you in a way.

It's hard to explian so let me give you a taoist poem:

"When people see some things as beautiful,

other things become ugly.

When people see some things as good,

other things become bad.

Being and non-being create each other.

Difficult and easy support each other.

Long and short define each other.

High and low depend on each other.

Before and after follow each other.

Therefore the Master

acts without doing anything

and teaches without saying anything..."

-Lao-tzu

Other words, nothing can exist without it's opposite.

So... yea, I was really boring and all. But now you'll enjoy non-bordness more. :)

I don't know if I answered you question though...

Did I?
