I think the purpose of life is based in anonymity. We go through life not really knowing who we are, what our true purpose is, or what will become of us in the future. We live in the hopes that one day during the course of our lives we will discover these things. We all have dreams and goals, and we hope that accomplishing them will reveal our purpose. I mean, If you were told right now what your purpose was, and what would become of you in the future, would there still be any point in living your life? If we all knew our purposes, life would be pretty much meaningless. But that's just my opinion, though. :)
Who else has some philosophies about life?

One of those simple complex questions, thank you.
Wake up in the morning and do what you do, what value is it?
Years of work and attention, what value is it?
Beyond today few can see, but if you try the world around us becomes a different place. The future is beyond us yet in our hands. How can you change tomorrow? Do something random. Then turn around and compare that to what you have done for years. Which one makes you happier? I believe God made happiness to help us identify our path. If you were going to die tomorrow, would you walk across the street?(probably not) Just look at life like that. Don't do things you know are stupid, and do all the things that make life worth it. Responsibility makes life very valuable to me. Love and giving make life valuable to me. Crying makes life valuable to me. What makes you, you?
The world around us may be asking how to sell more goods to the most people, but we the people have to ask the manufacturers what do YOU have for just me. I believe it is our individual strengths God wants us to learn and show. Tell me what you have to offer the world, then love that.

Look outside your window: can you see a big tree -- you must there are trees everywhwere. Now tell me in huw much hurry that seed was, who turned into the tree? The seed knew, having right nutrition it will grow into a tree, at that time it din't stop growing or taking roots fearing that if it grew well, it would be cut down by some carpenter. It wasn't worrid while sprouting that some harbivour would eat it up. Once it sprouted, it never cared whether it would get water or not, if there was less, it deepened its roots.
Yes, it was careful before sprouting, the 'hard' seed din't 'softened' unless it found the suitable condition to grow. That is the way seeds are, they remain hard untill conditions are favourable. Then, they just don't care.
Look at that patient seed today -- such a big tree. Birds sit on it, people have opened shops beneath it. A seed smaller than your tooth is a huge tree now.
Look at nature, it is telling you everything, just you don't want to listen. You have taken a very express way to life -- success or suicide, and you know 'if you try to hatch an egg by breaking it, all you will get is yolk'. Don't do anything, don't think anything. Just close your eyes and live life of a seed, trust me you will become a tree.
Now its upto you, you want to become a banyan tree or yolk.

what is the purpose of life, many questions in the above statement.
Not knowing who u are? that is a spiritual one. you are a spirit inhabiting a body of a animal.
What will become of you? There is life an then death. What you decide to do in between that is up to you. I like to think it is one of giving of ones self to others. Continues growth and learning to burst the many bubbles of myths an prejudices this planet has. It is a personal journey for each of us to make.
If you knew your purpose in life? That is the goal. Then your life has meaning

Life's purpose is to create useful structure over and above the amount of resources which we use. This is our Net Creativity. If we don't end up with a Net Creative result as a species, then we will go extinct. We can work toward this as individuals, reducing our consumption, creating things that don't waste resources and creating children who think this way. All of the things which we usually think of as goals and dreams have been sold to us in order to exploit our emotions and steal our money. The hardest thing we each have to do is find out what we would do if we weren't watching TV.

The purpose of life in general is to know, to learn and to love!

My purpose in life is to walk with God and follow his path he has lead for me until the day he decides to take me home. This life I live here on earth is just temporary. My real life will begin when I reach heaven. And what a wonderful life it will be.

The purpose of life depends on what you make out of it. Technically it all depends on you and how you spend it. To find the reason why you live, you have to look for it yourself.
