This has to be about the most important question that anyone can ask. Ever.The answers you get may vary. Some may even suggest that you should not ask the question. Richard Dawkins, Oxford biologist, says that science can only answer "how" rather than "why" – and that we should not even ask the "why" question anyway. But without a real reason for living, why bother? Yet we sense that there are universal ideals in the world which seem to reflect something bigger than we are – love and justice for example.
Different faith systems attempt to make sense of it all. Many (New Age, Hinduism, Buddhism etc) do not suggest that there is any creator god outside the physical universe. Such spiritual forces as exist are seen as a part of the physical world, rather than outside it. Others faith communities focus on to a creator god, yet distant and unknowable.
Christianity has a quite revolutionary take on all this. It paints a unique picture, whereby a powerful creator God, who could put together a universe arguably 10 billion light-years across, chose to condense himself down to a size and scope that people could understand, by being born as a baby into an occupied Middle Eastern country.
Jesus has to be the pivotal character in human history. Whatever you think of him, his impact has been total. And as C. S. Lewis observed, Jesus was either who he claimed to be, sick in the head, or a fraudster. There are no other alternatives.
When you look at Jesus, uncouple if you will, the defective behaviour of many of those who claim to follow him. If Jesus' analysis of human nature is correct – that it is deeply, totally flawed – then we would expect this to happen.

Well, you don't think the whole universe works the way Earth does, do you? No! One species, one planet! There is a planet of deer, a planet of Asians, and so on! We put them all together on Earth and the whole universe tunes in to watch the fun!
Most of the races of Earth are descended from alien races, in order to create drama from racial tension from their unnatural cohabitation of the planet.
The purpose of our lives as humans is to entertain the life forms on other planets through the reality television show that they know as EARTH.
The only reason that the show was not cancelled, the planet of earth not demolished, and we are still alive after 100 episodes is because I blackmailed the Joozians who produce the show with some dirty pictures that Kenny took of them while they were high on blach.

hello my dear
indeed a very intersting question..!!!!!
Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling five balls in the air.
You name them - work, family, health, friends, and spirit - and you're keeping all of these in the air.
You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back.
But the other four balls - family, health, friends, and spirit are made of glass. If you drop one of these, they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged, or even shattered. They will never be the same.
You must understand that and strive for balance in your life.
this is why .........U ARE HERE AND BORN..!!!
TAKE CARE
SUNIL..!!!

To realize our talent, craft, or gift. To serve people and to live a less self-serving exsistence. To aquire knowledge to use in the next life. But mostly to revel in the beauty of this exsistence and to laugh, love, and give!!!!
