& don't give a toss about... about what ?

A journey! A pleasant passage! Collect happy memories as you go along, do things in such a way, talk to people in such a way, interact in such a way, in short live every moment in such a way as to create happy memories for times ahead: have a jolly good time, happiness is the journey, not destination, so do not stop, go on. On the way, variety awaits you in many aspects of life, uphill some times, down at other times, plains yet other moments: but it's for you to keep the pace, keep the momentum, choose the way from options presented to you (mostly arising from your own efforts and perceptive understandings!)! In sum, a Journey, a passage!

Hi Wortho,
Amazing. This is the most important question in the world, and you are the first person, I have ever seen ask it. You will get a different answer from everbody who answers this, so here is mine. We were created, by God, to share this vast and amazing Universe with Him, as His family. Unfortunately, things got a little sideways, after that Lucifer Rebellion thing. Although the rebellion has been brought under control, we are still sorting out the pieces, here on Earth. Now, back to your question. Ideally, we as individuals, decide to renounce our personal rebellion against God, and make ourselves subject to His will, taking Him as our Father. Although it may sound like we are giving up our freedom, nothing could be farther from the Truth. God, is not different from most Fathers. He wants His children, to be happy, and safe. He does not want us to hurt ourselves, or anyone else. Like all children, we don't know enough to stay out of trouble, and avoid doing dangerous things. When we decide to be good children, and listen to what our Father says, and do those things, He rewards us. Our lives, become filled with peace, and happiness. His Spirit, literally dwells in our hearts, and we become new creatures. Materialism and fear, gradually die out in us. We have embarked on a Journey without end, and we will never be the same again. When we insist on doing things our way, the results are inevitable. No child, has the wisdom and experience to make the right choices, or do the right things. We must all be taught. God, through His Spirit, is our Teacher, but we must accept Him. If you look around you at the pain and suffering going on in the world, you can see what life is like when we reject His Fatherhood. No thank you.

Life is in your hands. ou can either destroy it with many others or make the best of it and help others. Where you go depends on which resurrection you'll take part in. Resurrection of the soul (the enire being) must occur first. Don't worry about that. If you have an attitude of love and compassion toward life, nothing can possibly go wrong.

Life is meant to be serving God on a Paradise earth of peace.
The Bible identifies Jehovah as a God of purpose, one who has sound reasons for everything he does. We ask, Would you construct a house without having a reason? Likely not, since building a house requires a huge investment of money and can take months or years. You build a house so that you or someone else can live in it. The same logic can be applied to Jehovah. He did not go to all the trouble of creating the earth and the living things upon it without having a reason, a purpose. (Compare Hebrews 3:4.) What is his purpose for the earth?
The prophecy of Isaiah identifies Jehovah as “the true God, the Former of the earth and the Maker of it.” Indeed, he is “the One who firmly established [the earth], who did not create it simply for nothing, who formed it even to be inhabited.” (Isaiah 45:18.) Yes, ever since the earth was created, it has been Jehovah’s purpose to have it inhabited. Says Psalm 115:16: “As regards the heavens, to Jehovah the heavens belong, but the earth he has given to the sons of men.” Thus the Bible shows that Jehovah created the earth to be inhabited by obedient humans, who would take care of it.—Genesis 1:27, 28.
The rebellion of Adam and Eve did not cause Jehovah to change his purpose. His purpose for the earth and mankind remains unchanged.
Moreover, Jehovah’s purpose never fails. Through Isaiah, God provides this assurance: “Just as the pouring rain descends, and the snow, from the heavens and does not return to that place, unless it actually saturates the earth and makes it produce and sprout, and seed is actually given to the sower and bread to the eater, so my word that goes forth from my mouth will prove to be. It will not return to me without results, but it will certainly do that in which I have delighted, and it will have certain success in that for which I have sent it.”—Isaiah 55:10, 11.
Clearly, then, we can have confidence in the fulfillment of God’s purpose to have the earth inhabited forever by obedient humans. If we are to be among those privileged to live permanently on earth, we must do what wise King Solomon said: “Fear the true God and keep his commandments. For this is the whole obligation of man.”—Ecclesiastes 12:13; John 17:3.
Living in harmony with Jehovah’s purpose for mankind means getting to know the true God and conforming to his requirements as set out in the Holy Scriptures. If we do this now, we can entertain the hope of everlasting life on a paradise earth, in which we will never cease to learn new things about God and his wonderful creation. (Luke 23:43.)
Many who search for a purpose in life turn to the Bible and find great happiness right now.
The Bible is relevant today. It offers guidance on current issues. The Bible explains that wickedness is not of God’s making and helps us to find a satisfying purpose in life. Furthermore, the Bible has much to say on other matters that are of great interest today. Such topics as marriage, child rearing, human relations, and hope for the dead are dealt with in God’s Word.
If you have not done so already, please take a close look at the contents of the Bible. Once you discover the true value of its guidelines for life, you may well feel as did the psalmist who looked to Jehovah God for guidance and sang: “Your word is a lamp to my foot, and a light to my roadway.”—Psalm 119:105.

God loves you and He want you to love Him back in a reciprocal relationship. This definitely involves the one God - Jesus Christ - and following the ten commandments.
The Father, Son and Holy Spirit is like the soul, the body and the works in a single person.

I don't believe life is meant to be any one particular way... I don't believe in predestination. Life is what we make it.. we build it piece by piece by each decision we make and it is unique to the individual; no one else.
