My own theory is that the point of life is for a person to put a dent on history (whether good or bad) and does one or more incredible things in their lifetime....for example a person who invents a cure for cancer, or a person who leads an army into victory, or a person who starts a fashion trend, or a person who once flew an airplane and killed 300 people with a single bomb, or a person who invented post-it sticky notes, or a one-legged person to walk across a country with crutches, or a person who won miss america, or a person who found an important ancient artifact, or a person who won any large competition, or a person who was the first to do something extraordinary. Everytime a person is being talked about after they die, whether in a good way or bad, these people stick a quarter in their immortal meter. So all the mundane jobs people do like being a mail-man, accountant, stripper, truck driver, mechanic ,will never allow a person to fulfill one's life (that is---to be special)

The point really is...are 95% of the people wasting their time working in a profession that will never bring their life to light.

Picture this - A person lives their entire life in obscurity, then they do 1 thing that changes history, like John Wilkes Booth assasinating Lincoln, or Chuck Yeager breaking the sound barrier or Anwar Sadat / Menachem Begin signing the Camp David Accords, Mme. Curie discovering radium, ad infinitum, etc. One's purpose in life is not neccesarily to be a Superman, James T. Kirk, Sherlock Holmes or even Mahatma Gandhi, Saint Francis or Mother Teresa. Everybody wonders about their raison d'etre at times. I think sometimes our purpose in life is what we make it, for good or ill.God ( Or whomever you believe in ) rents us this space in life, maybe WE have to decide what to do with it.
Nobody's life is without purpose.Life is no random assortment of coincidences & lucky / unlucky accidents. Even in chaos there is an underlying order & design,according to chaos theory, I understand.

Now you would have to ask yourself why you are so extreme !
Everyone has their own life path, a reason to be here to experience.
For every person to make some small impact in life, be it Good or Bad.
And we have many life times to come back, and on our last life that will be when we do become fulfilled.
We start as ONE to become ONE...
And when you get back, and you ask GOD what was the POINT he will laugh
Because it was you that wanted to experience Life and in the end what was your point lol
The Answers are within you.
Look Within
Love & Blessings

life is a script, and everyone has a role to play. no matter how long you have lived , you have had some part in the whole production. if you're still living then you're role is not yet complete. even one who never had a life,( say they died at birth, for example), had some type of impact , some event or thing that happened because of them.and no matter how small or unnoticable it might have been, it had significance. there is no such thing as " it would'nt have a difference". when your role is over your life ends. simple enough?

transformation is easy from one extreme to the other extreme,and the other extreme is the real extreme which is most difficult of all u have described,where life comes to the real meaning,that is self discovery/exploration,solve the problem who am i?if u succeed then its really incredible,an achievement which entire universe will love till existence,rest everything is just repitition of life circle.
