What’s the point of life and what’s the meaning if we all die in the end?

Answer 1

The meaning of life...

To live. To Love. To Learn. To Leave a Legacy.

Answer 2

Human life and other life are the same except for the brain of a human. Just like the other animals and plants, there is no point of life and dieing at the end does not have any meaning unless you are named in the history books.

Answer 3

Great question! True, life is full of suffering and often can be overwhelming, but this is all avoidable and this is all not the truth. Develop and become compassion and love all life. Learn and expand the mind, enjoy and experience life, look within yourself and be who you are. In the end you will realize that letting go is how to achieve total and pure freedom. My advice to you now is this: try to see the beauty in all aspects of your day. If you do this, and hold a pure heart, you will begin to see the flow of beauty and life (chi) in all things and you will be able to move with it, use it, expand it. This ultimately will show you the meaning of life you desire, for the meaning of life is life itself. If you let go and stop seeking it, it will become totally and unavoidably apparent.

Answer 4

the point of living is being productive..living is not just about having all the fun in the world, living is having to experience the beauty of life.. that counts the hardships, the laughter and the wisdom that one gains through the ages... death is not the end of it all, death is only the beginning... because one cannot really understan the meaning of a well lived life if one is not anticipating death...

Answer 5

God loves us and wants us to be happy. Between the journey of birth and death, He designed us to have fun and help one another. We die in the end but I'm gonna be sliding into the grave like it was Home Plate with my best friend on one hand and a martini in the other going, whooooo what a ride! and the people I've helped out during my lifetime appreciate that I was there for them.

Answer 6

Answer: What is the meaning of life? How can I find purpose, fulfillment, and satisfaction in life? Will I have the potential to accomplish something of lasting significance? So many people have never stopped to consider what the meaning of life is. They look back years later and wonder why their relationships have fallen apart and why they feel so empty even though they may have achieved what they set out to accomplish. One baseball player who made it to the baseball hall of fame was asked what he wished someone would have told him when he first started playing baseball. He replied, "I wish that someone would have told me that when you reach the top, there's nothing there." Many goals reveal their emptiness only after years have been wasted in their pursuit.



In our humanistic society, people pursue many purposes, thinking that in them they will find meaning. Some of these pursuits include: business success, wealth, good relationships, sex, entertainment, doing good to others, etc. People have testified that while they achieved their goals of wealth, relationships, and pleasure, there was still a deep void inside -- a feeling of emptiness that nothing seemed to fill.



The author of the biblical book of Ecclesiastes states this feeling when he said, "Meaningless! Meaningless!...Utterly meaningless! Everything is meaningless." This author had wealth beyond measure, wisdom beyond any man of his time or ours, women in the hundreds, palaces and gardens that were the envy of kingdoms, the best food and wine, and had every form of entertainment available. And he said at one point, that anything that his heart wanted, he pursued. And yet he summed up "life under the sun" (life lived as though all there is to life is what we can see with our eyes and experience with our senses) is meaningless! Why is there such a void? Because God created us for something beyond what we can experience in the here-and-now. Solomon said of God, "He has also set eternity in the hearts of men..." In our hearts we are aware that this "here-and-now" is not all that there is.



In Genesis, the first book of the Bible, we find that God created mankind in His image (Genesis 1:26). This means that we are more like God than we are like anything else (any other life form). We also find that before mankind fell into sin and the curse came upon the earth, the following things were true: (1) God made man a social creature (Genesis 2:18-25); (2) God gave man work (Genesis 2:15); (3) God had fellowship with man (Genesis 3:8); and (4) God gave man dominion over the earth (Genesis 1:26). What is the significance of these items? I believe that God intended for each of these to add to our fulfillment in life, but all of these (especially man's fellowship with God) were adversely affected by man's fall into sin and the resulting curse upon the earth (Genesis 3).



In Revelation, the last book of the Bible, at the end of many other end-time events, God reveals that He will destroy this present earth and heavens as we know them and usher in the eternal state by creating a new heaven and a new earth. At that time, He will restore the full fellowship with redeemed mankind. Some of mankind will have been judged unworthy and cast in the Lake of Fire (Revelation 20:11-15). And the curse of sin will be done away with; there will be no more sin, sorrow, sickness, death, pain, etc. (Revelation 21:4). And believers will inherit all things; God will dwell with them, and they shall be His sons (Revelation 21:7). Thus, we come full circle in that God created us to have fellowship with Him; man sinned, breaking that fellowship; God restores that fellowship fully in the eternal state with those deemed worthy by Him. Now, to go through life achieving anything and everything only to die separated from God for eternity would be worse than futile! But God has made a way to not only make eternal bliss possible (Luke 23:43), but also this life satisfying and meaningful as well. Now, how is this eternal bliss and "heaven on earth" obtained?

Answer 7

It is the human ego that makes us think that life needs to have a point. The truth is that the meaning of life is simply living life. Death is just a reminder that all we can do is live life.

So enjoy.

Answer 8

The point is that the end is a new beginning.

Answer 9

Your argument starts with a statement that automatically sets you up to prove that life is pointless because we all die.

That's all part of the life cycle. All living things die.

Answer 10

God created us for His pleasure and He is head over heels in love with us.

We come to Him by believing in the sacrifice his son Jesus made on the cross because we were born with a nature that likes to rebel.

3-5There's more to come: We continue to shout our praise even when we're hemmed in with troubles, because we know how troubles can develop passionate patience in us, and how that patience in turn forges the tempered steel of virtue, keeping us alert for whatever God will do next. In alert expectancy such as this, we're never left feeling shortchanged. Quite the contrary—we can't round up enough containers to hold everything God generously pours into our lives through the Holy Spirit!

6-8Christ arrives right on time to make this happen. He didn't, and doesn't, wait for us to get ready. He presented himself for this sacrificial death when we were far too weak and rebellious to do anything to get ourselves ready. And even if we hadn't been so weak, we wouldn't have known what to do anyway. We can understand someone dying for a person worth dying for, and we can understand how someone good and noble could inspire us to selfless sacrifice. But God put his love on the line for us by offering his Son in sacrificial death while we were of no use whatever to him.
