Answer 4

The purpose of life is to serve God.

Answer 5

Well, if you ask me, happiness is just a passing sensation but only Jesus can give one everlasting joy. But, to answer the question, I'd say fallacy because we're not here just to be happy.

Answer 6

really its to make money.

Answer 7

The purpose of life is to live.  I don't belief there is any great transcendent purpose for life.  It is what it is.

What you do with your life it is your own responsibility.  

Answer 8

The purpose of live is to make choices. Do you want to return to father. choose spiritual love/empathy/sharing fellowship.

Do you like it here, want to come back here, that is the other choice.

Your choices will show your desire.  

Answer 9

In spite of our best efforts, it turns out to be both.

Answer 10

The purpose of life is the PURSUIT of happiness

Answer 11

Fallacy.  Being happy is nice and all, but it is not the purpose of life.  The purpose of life is to have a relationship with God our creator.  That's why we human exist in the first place.

Answer 12

No. The purpose of life is to serve the LORD. The effect of service is happiness.

GOD bless

Answer 13

true

James Taylor  -  The SECRET Of Life

The secret of life is enjoying the passage of time

Any fool can do it

There aint nothing to it

Nobody knows how we got to

The top of the hill

But since were on our way down

We might as well enjoy the ride

The secret of love is in opening up your heart

Its okay to feel afraid

But dont let that stand in your way

cause anyone knows that love is the only road

And since were only here for a while

Might as well show some style

Give us a smile

Isnt it a lovely ride

Sliding down

Gliding down

Try not to try too hard

Its just a lovely ride

Now the thing about time is that time

Isnt really real

Its just your point of view

How does it feel for you

Einstein said he could never understand it all

Planets spinning through space

The smile upon your face

Welcome to the human race

Some kind of lovely ride

Ill be sliding down

Ill be gliding down

Try not to try too hard

Its just a lovely ride

Isnt it a lovely ride

Sliding down

Gliding down

Try not to try too hard

Its just a lovely ride

Now the secret of life is enjoying the passage of time

Answer 15

the purpose of life is to find the longest chained tautology.

Answer 16

Happiness is very fleeting.  I would say it is to be content, with flashes of happiness.  

Answer 17

sounds good.. but could be lots of things.. not dying for example.... I'm finding it hard to believe some peoples purpose in life is to worship god.. that is staggering..

Answer 18

I don't know, I prefer making others happy and I think that's maybe better...?

Answer 19

part truth, i beleive that my purpurse, is to be happy, honest, have fun, find love, make other people as happy as i am, generally live life to the full! :) enjoy every minute of it, some people find joy in succeeding, others in friends, others in simple things like nature etc. it's a pursonal opinion in a way, but i do beleive that it's a loose truth.

Answer 20

No.  The purpose of life is to mate, reproduce, and then die.  There is no more to it than that.

Answer 21

I like this question!  The purpose of life is to experience God's love and share it with others.  This is what I've done.  Happiness is a byproduct, not the goal.

Answer 22

The purpose of life is to have a close, personal relationship with The Father, through His son Jesus Christ. The Father created us for His pleasure. There will be trials and tribulations, but His will for us is to be full of His joy.have abundance. Genesis tells"be fruitful,and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. The Father's love knows no limit, only the one we humanly put on it. That's why you have a choice, is your glass half full (happy), or is it half empty,(unhappy)? Who else would or can give you that choice, and still love you, regardless of the answer?  Spend time in The Word of God, You will find your glass will be more than half full. Then you will know the Truth, and the Truth will set you free.

Answer 23

Fallacy, the purpose of life is to worship God.

Answer 24

The purpose of life is to reproduce.  (biologically speaking), otherwise life would cease.

What we do other than copulate is anyone's choice, but happiness is a side issue.

Answer 25

There is no purpose in life, life just happens to be.

So you might as well enjoy it instead of living in superstitious fear.

Answer 26

Yes, one if the purposes is to be Happy. Also to love, bring up a family learn ad teach

Answer 27

Not really.  Who the h**l knows what the purpose of life really is?  It's most certainly different strokes for different folks

Answer 28

life is what each of us make of it.

if it is work, then it is work.

if suffering, then suffering

on and on
