what is lifes purpose?
purpose in life.
ive been dying to know, what is our pupose in life? more importantly, what is my purpose in life. i know God didnt put me here for no reason. lately ive been thinking about these kinds of things a lot more. [too much time on my hands i guess]. everyday we eat, we sleep, we socialize, we live life. but why? why do we do these things? it seems pointless. we are born then we die. why be born in the first place? if the only thing that is certain is that we will go either to hell or heaven. this has been bothering me. i'd like some feedback if you could give me some.

I believe we are put here to learn life lessons, to experience all the physical world has to offer, since as a soul or spirit we can not. Enjoy what life has to offer..love, be good to others, and learn all you can possibly obsorb.

My dear,
Most people are focused entirely on the self. Me, me, me...enough about me. Let's talk about you. What do you think of me?
The purpose in life is very simple indeed. It is to help others to the extent that we can. I don't mean simply doing things for others, although this may be the case, but by helping them to find their way, make the right decisions, take the appropriate actions and grow as human beings. By doing so, you may find that your own life in much more fruitful and rewarding.

That's a super good question. To me..? It is to find love.. (give it in return.) We are different from animals (I know.. we're all mammals.. we've got consciences..) I want to read what some other people say about this.. (probably a lotta religious info.?) I think man's highest quest is to find a real smashing (waves crashing against the shore) undying, eternal LOVE AFFAIR in life.. (yeah, I know.. I am a 'romantic..') To me, it's all or nothing .. this quest for love. (and NO I've not found a wonderful love in this life.. but, perhaps in the next.....?) peace out0

Why assume that someone else has decided your purpose for you? Your purpose is your decision! I'm not religious, but if I was, I would imagine that God gave me free will so that I could have the freedom to create my own purpose in life.

To gain a body of flesh, to show god we have enough faith to come back to him, to procreate, to gain experience for the next life to come so that you can be joint heirs in the kingdom of god.
