What is the meaning of life?

Question

What si the meaning of life? Were we put on this earth to give company to our creator, or was just a mistake. I'm sure the answer is somewhere in the Bible, but I've never read the Bible, so I just don't really know? Anybody out there who does....!

Answer 1

Everyone has their own meaning or they wouldn't be done here, some how we have different meanings to help but sometimes things go hay-wire and their meaning is lost, or someone has preformed the meaning already and they die, hope you don't find this too confusing, hope this helps.

Answer 2

This is how it works in the human life we live and then we die. RIGHT!??
So between this time what do we do that will change the earth.
If we buy house 1,000 years later it will have no purpose just like all the other eartlhy desires that we have. No purpose that you can probbaly name has a real purpose a hundred years from i guarntee it, but i have found one and that is your children. For if you have a child that child shall have a child and so on and so forth. When you die all that you will leave behind that can do anything on earth is your children and one day they all might serve a greater purpose.They wil serve a greater purpose once they have found out how to become almost perfect well no i am getting off the subject all that you need to know is that for now your children are the meaning to life fore with out children there would be no life. peace!@

There is a Grand Purpose for humanity! We're just still in the stage of 'getting some really messy Bugs worked out of us'! I'd love to show you How the Bible answers your important questions! Jehovah's Witnesses are asked a LOT of Bible questions -- including those you've asked -- & so have prepared the following articles, some which include >>live-Scripture-links<< to those referred to in the text! What could be easier! I've read them myself -- including the Scriptures -- & Highly Recommend them to you!:

(NOTE: The links to the progressive parts of the series are found at the top-left of the text, when not within it.)

Answer 4

I dunno. Does there have to be a meaning? Not saying that there couldn't be a higher purpose to life...but who knows? I don't think reading a pat answer in a book will give anyone a true satisfying answer. B-sides, what is the meaning of a beautiful sunset? or chillin' and laughing and having a good time with friends? or the birds singing? or falling in love or doing anything u like to do that is fun and pleasurable, etc? Those simple things are all relatively meaningless in the end but yet they give life "meaning"......so to speak. Great question!

Answer 5

LIFE EXPLAINED.....

On the first day, God created the dog. God said, "Sit all day by the door of your house and bark at anyone who comes in or walks past. I will give you a life span of twenty years." The dog said, "That's too long to be barking. Give me ten years, and I'll give you back the other ten." So, God agreed.

On the second day, God created the monkey. God said, "Entertain people, do monkey tricks, make them laugh. I'll give you a twenty-year life span." The monkey said, "How boring...I have to do monkey tricks for twenty years? I don't think so. Dog gave you back ten, so that's what I'll do too, okay?" So, God agreed.

On the third day, God created the cow. God said, "You must go to the field with the farmer all day long and suffer under the sun, have calves and give milk to support the farmer. I will give you a life span of sixty years." The cow said, "That is really a tough life you want me to live for sixty years!

Let me have twenty, and I'll give you back the other forty." So, God agreed again.

On the forth day, God created man. God said, "Eat, sleep, play, marry and enjoy your life. I'll give you twenty years.

Man said, "What?! Only twenty years?! I tell you what...

I'll take my twenty, and the forty the cow gave back, the ten the monkey gave back, and the ten the dog gave back. Now that makes eighty, okay?"

"Okay," said God, "You've got a deal."

So......

That is why the first twenty years we eat, sleep, play, and enjoy ourselves.

Then, for the next forty years, we slave in the sun to support our family.

For the next ten years, we do monkey tricks to entertain the grandchildren.

And for the last ten years we sit on the front porch and bark at everyone.

Answer 6

Basically, this is our time of grace. Believers are meant to spread the good news to unbelievers. You should read the Bible sometime, especially Revelations. It's a good read, AND it's salvation. You don't have to read all of it, just sample it.

Answer 8

Nature put us here to breed. Everything else has been made up as we go along.

Answer 9

Humans are animals.
And the goal of animals always was, is, and will be survival and reproduction.

Drastically spoken.

Answer 10

To be Happy and try to pass that happiness to the world.
