What is the supreme purpose and goal of human living?

Answer 1

What are we really trying to say when we refer to the purpose or the meaning of life? We use both words synonymously and both convey different degrees of significance, signification, purpose, intent, or objective. However, all of these terms essentially convey a search for an assigned function. The underlying question is, why do human beings exist?

What is existence? We stipulate that an object or event exists, if it manifests itself in an observable manner. Objects that are claimed to exist but that do not manifest themselves in any way, form or shape, do not exist, by axiomatic definition. Anything that human beings claim to exist must show objective evidence to human beings that it exists; otherwise, it would be meaningless to say that it exists. Some Thing may conceivably exist in another space-time continuum or in an alternate universe but, if it does not manifest itself in any form or shape to human beings, it does not exist for purposes of human beings: If it has no effect on human life, we can and we must disregard it.

Human beings obviously exist because they manifest themselves to other human beings: Among other attributes, human beings have mass and appearance that can be measured and observed, both by subjective, physiological means and by objective, scientific standards: Human beings exist.

Since we clearly exist we may ask, where do we come from, why are we here? Is there a meaning or purpose to our life in the sense of an externally or internally assigned function? Alternatively, did random events place us into this universe, without any purpose or reason?

If God created the universe for the sole purpose of housing humans, why would He have done this? Jesus said that God created humans for the purpose of loving Him and each other. In creating humans, God gave them complete freedom within the limits of their dimensionality. This freedom was required to permit humans to express love. However, a byproduct of freedom can be the opposite of love. The sin of fellow humans is responsible for the majority of misery experienced by humans in this life.

Answer 2

No purpose and no unified goals. There is no entity to give purpose. Humanity is a system like other biological systems.

Answer 3

I like to look at life as a probationary period:
We are here to learn to deal with our trials in a manner that is pleasing to God.

Only when we can achieve this then we can move on to the next stage the the supreme has prepared for us.

For example: Can you go to University without first going to high school?
