What is really the purpose of our life?

Question

Can somebody tell me what is really the purpose of our life? We are born, live and die.

Answer 1

YES, we ARE HERE!  There is no purpose to life.  We're just here.  Stop wondering.  :)  We live our lives the way we want to and sometimes things don't go right, but we move on.

We laugh, we mourn, we fall in love, we just learn as we go along - it's the circle of life.

Answer 2

Every one here is for a special purpose.

Every one has a job to do in this pretty little world of ours.

But yes there is one big purpose that we should always try to achieve.

That would be to become a human being, A person of values.

Thats all i have to say

Answer 4

To me, the purpose of life is the attainment of ever more wxpansive goals which involve the encompassing of the full realm of our personalities. Goals emerge from the gazing deeply inward - truly knowing ourselves and focusing on the horizons of our external world - whether objects, nature, the universe, but more important, other people with whom we can share our love.

With such a journey treated for each of us throughout our lives, if we wish to tune in and become acceptant of ourselves, we can know our own natural elegance,power and abundance.

Thanks fro asking. Have a great day!

Answer 5

Who knows for sure ?

Answer 6

Speaking as someone who has wrestled with the question since I was about 10 years old, I think it is part of the human make-up to believe in something in order to provide context - and the more nebulous idea, "meaning" - to our lives. Without some kind of belief basis I think it's probably too difficult for a thinking, emotional being to endure the inevitable trials of life. That way lies insanity or self-destruction or both.

So, to answer your question, while I don't believe in an all-powerful creator or interventionist deity, I do believe there is a purpose to life, but something too vast and complex for our little brains to grasp, even if something or somebody were able articulate it to us.

Life itself is astonishing, particularly when you consider the vastness of non-life out there, and the wondrous configuration of circumstances that allows it to flourish on this lonely wee planet. I think that's worth celebrating with the hope - if not belief - that life has value in itself. I believe our instincts tell us this, and while it's easy to dismiss those as mechanisms simply encoded into us to aid survival or procreation, it's just as easy to dismiss any intellectual rationale of the negative, mainly because such a viewpoint is a belief in itself, and that few of those who espouse it conduct their lives in a manner that articulates such a belief (unless they happen to be psychopathic). So I think life is valuable and from that I deduce there is purpose, however incomprehensible to me, and that ultimately that will be worthwhile for humanity or the planet or the cosmos (preferably all three).

I believe in evolution, though I do accept it is a belief, albeit one with pretty decent supporting evidence. I also believe that if we allow ourselves to evolve then there's a good possibility that at some undefined moment in the future our reality will suddenly shift and a big sign will come up saying:

"Well done! You are now on LEVEL 2..." I think maybe something like that happened sometime before, round about the time we mastered fire.

Answer 7

You'll have to come up with your own theory on this one

Answer 8

people have been asking this question for years.

i guess it is to change the world.

i'm not really too sure because when we die all our memories will fade. all our dreams and everything we have ever learned will really not mean too much to the people left on this earth. what you did will not matter unless you made an impact on life itself.

i guess it is just to keep reproducing more children and keep the human race growing. although when the sun eventually fades out (and possibly sooner) all life itself will not matter.

too deep to comprehend

Answer 9

to get drunk and enjoy life

Answer 10

to keep asking ourselves that question and never find the answer. :P

my theory..to enjoy it and make anything you want out from it.
