Who are we?

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.

The point we go through all these things is to figure out our outcome. How we take our problems in life as in making the best of the worst or making the worst worse will tell how we will be rewarded in the afterlife.

we are who we are. we are what we become. I have no idea what I just said, it just sounds cool.

It comes down to the choices you make. If you feel you are making the right choices in life then prolly you feel confident. Safest thing to do is always ask for advise from others. Seek help, even when you don't need it. Life is about learning from each other. Then pass that learning onto others. I think that's how the we can define ourselves.

Each person has unlimited amount of possibillties here on earth...

Each person will find their purpose whatever it may be

Q: Why are we here?
A: Why not?

there is no reason for life it just happens

couldnt of sayd it better myself! theres no reason 4 bein here...we just are!

Yeah, I don't see why life has to have a "purpose". We evolved from lesser intelligent life forms and here we are.

We're a cosmic accident 😛

A comsic accident? There is too much that is coincidental in the world to explain our existance as an accident. For example the constant flow of CO2 and O2 between plants and animals.

Things such as this are too perfect to be an accident.

It's not like there was a destination planned beforehand that everything was working towards. Plants came before animals, and they gave out a lot of oxygen, so it made sense for us to breathe the oxygen. If we had to evolve again we might have gills or not need to breathe at all. It's just that things worked out the way they did because of what was already there. The moon started rotating the earth because of Earth's gravitational pull. Plants evolved photosynthesis because it was a handy way of making energy. Humans started growing carrots to eat because they tasted good. Courtney Love is insane because she does drugs. See what I mean? It's not like there's point A and point B, and we HAVE to get from point A to point B, because that's the only way things will work. More like we start at point A, and go out in whatever direction strikes our fancy.

I have to disagree with everything except the Courtney Love thing. That is the emitamy of a psycho hose-beast. [Waynes World]

I cannot see it being just a stroke of luck that we are here. The pieces of the puzzle fit together all to well for 'Chance.'

This is quickly becoming an Evolutionary coversation...

think of life as puzzle only your not born with all the pieces. its our job as we go through life to collect all the pieces. when we are done we get a completed puzzle.the puzzle is our life. each piece represents our goals our acomplishments even our learned failures. you see life is a lesson and a very important one at that. we may not know exactly why we are here but god has a reason for each and every one of us and an important one. we all help shape the world we live in whether it be in a positive or negative way. its a balanced society with out each and every person playing the role life as we know it would be very different. maybe the answers not always clear because its not suppose to be.

a quote by god is " I shall use the simple things of the world to confound the wise"

the difference between humans and animals is that humans think too much...take away all those intricate layers of thought, emotions and human imagination and you're left with nothing but instinct...then our reasons for being here would purely be survival....

I think we are just pawns, we are here to live out our life, to populate the earth.

However, on the bright side, every now and then one of us breaks out and astounds the world, these are the ones who leave their name for future generations, the scientists, the doctors, in a lesser degree the movie stars.

And not everyone is put through the same amount of suffering, love, hate, etc. I think we are just here to live our life, and see how much we can accomplish in the time we are given, and if we will be remembered once we are gone.

Warning....religious statement....Beware!
And also, some people say suffering brings you closer to God. Look at Job, an innocent man who suffered much during his life, yet he didn't blame anyone, he didn't blame his faith, he was close with God throughout. He took what he was handed and lived, and in the end ultimately rewarded.

So I think we are just here to live basically 😂
There is no real meaning to life, it begins, it ends, some have it easier than others, but ultimately we all end up in the same place ✅

honestly i dont know i wish i had some idea.....maybe its just gods will if you even believe in god....to have life on earth to give us a chance at life before we enter heaven in the afterlife which is explained in its own wording AFTER life. no one knows what the purpose of living is and we have very little theory of why we die......which is a very weak but explained theory. we die to make room on earth for the ones to come. but i guess that doesnt answer the question either ....oh well g/l

i've always pondered what is ones' purpose on this earth. Why were we as humans and individauls put on this earth? How come out of all the many million sperms we were the ones that made it into this earth. are we alive just to go through the cycle of birth and death and all the other things inbetween. What is our purpose of being alive?

if your asking for an answer you need to look harder or ask a better question......

perhaps it should be to what purpose do you give yourself on this earth?

is this question like too deep for people to attempt
