I think sometimes life is like a terrible thunderstorm, on a bad day, and it would be easy to just turn your back and huddle inside. but sometimes, someone has to be the quiet voice that is calm in the chaos, that reminds that all storms will pass, that reminds the young ones that they are worth fighting for but that fighting is not the path, and that no matter what they do, you will stand and wait for them to come home...even in a storm, because you know that they are worth it. sometimes the purpose of life is to be the one that remembers that when you have braved the storms, you get to see the rainbow.

Yes I have, I asked myself WHY a few times.
Why were people created
Why am I here
Why do i have this family
Why I have this many problems
Why this want happen instead of this
I asked so many whys i started thinking that the whole point or purpose of being alive is to learn why.
Why we live and why we are we.
The awnser is not what is given its what you learn.
It comes to you after experience and patience it take time.
Buhddist take enlightment journeys out in to the wilderness and just meditate to learn about life. What they could do and why they should do it. Learning why gives you a whole nother idea or just changes what you thought. Its just a whole new chapter. And everyone has there own awnser or belief to the awnser of why.
I jsut try to live life and sometimes forget about why because i know later in life sooner or later i'm going to learn. No need to be eager now when Its gonna take me over 80 more years to learn the awnser. I'll just wat and have patience so the awnser comes to me.

Does it have to be exactly 10 minutes?
What if they take 11 minutes or 9.
I mean you need to be a little flexible here.
Such an important question. Surely it just might take more than 10 minutes. Maybe 12 minutes.

Well, I've thought about it. Didn't take all that long to figure out, though.
My answer was that it was just to live life as well as you can. If someone has the chance to have life, then they should take it and work with it, for death may come at anytime and end it.
I thought the purpose was pretty simple. If there are any details, it's just up to how the person in question plays out their life and shapes it.

Yes, several years. The first thing that came to me is that "the mind is not for thinking,the mind is for receiving thought. By being still and asking the heart questions i have learned much.mostly by the Grace of God. "God dwells within you as you" the essence of your being is unconditional love,you have unity with God within the heart in unconditional love. Your purpose in life is to Awake to that awareness and your supreme duty is to express "that".

Not per se. I have spent days on end, however, thinking of why I seemed not to be in control of where my life goes.

Yes, and I found out that it was to serve and praise my God, the Trinity, and to bring others to Him.
