i've search for a purpose and found only one. to build a future. my parents did not do this thus i must work. but i will not make that same mistake!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
because eventually we will all die .... and what we have in this life we cant take with us....but that doesnt mean be selfish.... so i will gain as much as i can from this world that way when i do die i can pass it on
"I have always wondered whether we have an actual purpose to be here. When I think of it, we make life better, or maybe worse (depending on what you believe), for the next generation. But why? Why actually are we put through love, hate, life and death? Is there really a reason? I suppose the reason of this thread to ask you guys what you think the point of life is........? And why we are put through so much, for nothing"
Why? Well, in order to know why, you would have to know the rule or law first. Why do we have an ego? Well, many reasons, some Christians think that the flesh is what makes men fall, but I think differently. Angles falls and they aren't or weren't in the flesh, so it's in the soul or spirit. Why does the spirit feel love or loss, because of possession, we attach ownership with our emotions that is attached to our egos. Some think our life lessons are to decode these ego centric ideas via life-lessons in order to go back to God in a better form.
Here is something that I have read that I thought was quite fascinating though different. We weren't put here. We chose to be here. Why we did was because we wanted to experience everything. Knowing this before hand and remembering this would ruin the experience of it, as we would know and influence the outcome which we wanted to experience, defeating the whole purpose of these experiences that we chose in the first place. When we are done with this life experience we would go to where we came from and all memories of it would be such a learning and sharing experience. Then ..If we chose we could do it again in anyway way or form. But the choice is always ours to do it again or not. Some take more challenging experiences and some not. It may be that some may not because they thought the last one was quite horrific and wanted something a little more easy going.......ie slackers..lol,..but understandable....
Anyway, this is just a view that many people believe, and who knows...it may be true.....food for thought.
We could be actors in a play, and someone in another deminsion get's to channel in and watch us if they want to laugh or cry.
Or, as one put it, "life is just a dream". This reality isn't "real" at all, but a dream and we are all in the same portal of it.
some think we create our path and destiny, others say it's already in front of us, I think it depends on your personality, if you like to think there is "order" in the world, then living a scripted life sounds good, but if you want control and are ok with possibilities, then having a blank page that you write as you go sounds better. It depends on who you are. Either way, it's all about what makes us happy.
Not only what makes you happy, but knowing that you make your own happiness too....If one comes from a place of "fear" then you will doubt what choice to make, what path to take, what decision to make. Always looking back and criticizing the choices you have made, when nothing can be done. Because what people fail to realize that you make choices based upon the information you had at the time and it was the best decision at that moment...If one realizes that all that has happened to you might be something that was preplanned, possibly, then one could rest better with that and know that there are reasons that we just may not know. If one is a control freak, then this would work against them, since nothing is all controllable, and if you try to THINK that you are in control of all circumstances and how others would relate or react to them, then one is in for a GREAT surprise... Because you can only control only YOU and how you would handle this or that. It is up to the individual if this or that makes one sad or happy. I believe that only YOU make your life. What lable you put on it is also YOU.
The answer varies. In the bare scientific truth -there is no reason. We live because we do, because of atoms and evolution and all that. Religiously, if you are religious, you feel like you are part of a "body of life" so to speak, that you take your part in.
But life, human life, we must come up with our own purpose. There is no predefined "reason" for our existance minus the above -God's creation or scientific randomosity-. Past that, we must make our own good in the world, but we must use what knowledge and intelligence we are given to make our life what we want in a good way. Each person has their own "destiny" -that is, a self-invented goal or dream that they wish to acheive, or maybe several. I myself could argue that love/relationships are one, if not the most imporant reason of life, but I would only be speakling for myself. Everyone must have their own purpose. They have to realize it.
I am inspired to make a thread.
Apparently, humanities purpose in life, today, is to spread and kill/tame anything that gets in its way. Thousands of years ago the purpose of humanities life was to spread and survive/prosper. Perhaps in the near if not far future, both purposes might combine when and if we strike out into space.
Spread. Survive. Kill.
WOW! Future humanity kicks arse!

Im not sure if you think that is positive or not...but whatever.
As a SPECIES, that can be said for our actions, but it does not in all ways reflect the individual. Many beleive against are constant expansion and power, I included, though I realize our need for gradual continuation in these areas.
That however, does not explain the "purpose" of each person's life.
