About the life, why do we live and die, which is the MISSION

80% of humanity, the religious folks, don't need to ask the meaning of life, the church tells them....the supernatural explanation. But the rest of us can't swallow religious dogma, because there's no evidence. Nobody can prove that there life after death, that people are tortured or rewarded after life or that there's invisible spirits running around.
I've come to two conclusions recently:
1. Life has no meaning
2. Life has a million meanings.
First, there's a certainty that death and annihilation awaits not only you, but the Earth in general. It's an astonomical certainty that our sun will supernova and leave the earth a burnt crisp, not to mention all the other extinction level events around the corner.
Second, the million things that give us meaning are the pleasurable experiences we can conjure up during the short period we are here on the earth, in the form of the relationships we have with our kids and other people, and the 'housekeeping' types of purposes. What i mean by that are the curing disease, ending hunger, improving literacy, reducing crime, preventing war, helping other kinds of things.

It feels like there is a mission doesn't it? Or at least that there should be. I think everyone feels that there should be some ultimate goal in life. That is because there is. God created us to live for him and serve him, each of us in his own way. No one will feel complete until they are close to God and living for him, ask anyone who has devoted themselves to God, and they will most likely say that they are content with their life, and feel that they are accomplishing what they were meant to accomplish.

The best part about life is you get to choose the mission that it would be for.

You say "the" life. The mission is not to let earth become a tomb for all of us in the middle of space.

Life is in the living thing. A seed reproduces after it's own kind. It has potential to reproduce itself. Death is not none existence but change of residence. I think we live to leave on earth our own multiplication of what was in us. To leave your own imprint of who you were to created to be. The graveyards are full of potential that was unused. Death would be not using your full potential not actually dying. The mission is to believe that God made you out of something that needs to leave its imprint somehow. The Mission is to leave your imprint so we can all see what life is in you. Live!!

What "is" life for, life is a process in which you are granted access, but then are told to leave. Leaves bloom in the spring, yet die out in the fall, they fall to the ground a enrich the soil, from this new leaves bloom. This is like the lives of people we are born, when the season comes, we die, unlike leaves it is not during death that we help, but it is during life we shape this earth with our will and effect those who shall come.
i cant really answer this question but one of my favorite book of the bible, and the most contreversal in my home is in this link:

Life is for living it. The way you live your life will impact the lives of others. You will make a series of choices that will start and end phases. There you have it. Now it's up to you.

In every moment you travel that road created with choices,if their spiritual then the path is multidimensional, not limited to your past.but traveling with the gift of the present to grow and reach, where ever the path built on timeless choices leads.When the concern is worldly of what can only be touched with your senses It is simply over very limited self imposed space that's it.Your Mission is to meet your map maker let love guide you.

Continuation of the species. We are born, we mature, breed, die. End of mission.

If this life is all that there is, then it is utterly meaningless and absurd, and in a way really doesn't exist, it is only an illusion.
If there is more, then the purpose is love and truth and life and light and all sorts of good stuff that we can seek in relationship to God. :)
