What Do You Think The Purpose of Being Alive Is?

Question

What do you think is the reason you live for?

I know mine,my reason is so I can be with Zxander and have a successful life.

Answer 1

I don't think that life has a purpose.  It is a naturally occurring phenomenon in our universe if the conditions are right.  You might as well be asking what is the purpose of a cloud or mountain.

Answer 2

to get wise, and some times high.

Answer 3

To create Gods.

Answer 4

I think the purpose is to just live and experience as many things as you want, make a difference, leave a mark. I believe everyone is here for a reason, and every person is here to impact others. I think everything is here for certain people. So jsut live your life, enjoy it, and seek all oppurtunities possible.

Answer 5

It seems to me that everyone, no matter who they are, wants to find happiness. Everything we do is, we think, geared at making us happy.

The purpose of life, then, I believe, is to reach perfect happiness.

But, as the philosopher will quickly throw at me: "What is perfect happiness?" - but I think that this is an easier question to answer...

Answer 6

I dont know what the purpose of life is, but it seems like everyone alive (or most everyone) Is working hard to be better then everyone else. They are going to try and be the best, and then they are just going to die. I dont know if that had anything to do with the question, but I had to let that out. lol

Answer 7

The purpose of life is enlightenment.

Answer 8

Everybody has their own purpose.

Answer 9

Life is purposeless. Only the mind invents purpose. The mind invents a future to keep itself going, but it is an illusion. Abandoning purpose, the sage lives in the Now.

Answer 10

Strictly speaking, the purpose of human life in general is:

"human life, physical, mental, moral and spiritual, is an ordinary natural event attributable in all respects to the ordinary operations of nature; and that man's ethical values, compulsions, activities, and restraints can be justified on natural grounds, without recourse to supernatural sanctions, and his highest good pursued and attained under natural conditions, without expectation of a supernatural destiny."

My own purpose is cause I'm having a h**l of a lot of fun. I raised a family, I live in a great home with a menagerie of wild animals just 6 feet outside my back window, yet I live near the busiest intersection in the county--there are 54 restaurants in the 4 mile section south of me, two malls, a dozen jewelers, 4 super stores, etc etc. And yet it takes me just 10 minutes to get downtown, and I live a five minute walk from the county's biggest park, and my city's endless miles of pathways.

Plus, I have my own website.
