What is the True Purpose of Life?

[dgirl1986]

the really intense part......
we stand before God and heaven ...and they choose who will continue ...and who gets left behind

Nope.

 

[LuisDantas]

and something less....than something Greater.....would be more effective?

Indeed. It would have a fighting chance of having a clear meaning, for starters.

 

[Thief]

Nope.

no afterlife for you?

 

[idav]

Why?

Do you have a better answer? After all its what life is constantly trying to do, live that is, even in the face of global catastrophe life finds a way.

no afterlife for you?

Not in the way that you believe it to be. I hope to be returned to the earth and feed the worms

Let's not deny the worms their nutrients!

 

[BSM1]

Why not? That is the real question.

Does that make "because" a viable answer?

let's not deny heaven your presence.

My purpose was to be a European, but after the UK referendum result I will have to find a new direction in life.

[dgirl1986]

[Thief]

....could it be any more airy fairy?

if you can't find heaven within you
how will heaven find it....within you

To breed and help ensure survival of the species

No it isn't. Its to ensure the survival of genetic information currently contained by the species. BY having children you're eventually going to create a new species, for example. Furthermore, by having children at the wrong time, you might cause famine or death and lead to the species dying out. So sometimes its about sacrifice. So its not as simple as your statement.

I kept it simple on purpose - sigh

What I really meant is that its at least partially wrong.

 

[TheInquisitiveMind]

Do we really need a purpose in life though? Isn't living itself, purpose enough?

It is. And it seems that the question of purpose comes into play when living itself isn't that great in the sense of awareness that death exists....
