"Why is the world so messed up?" The day that we look for what is right in front of us instead of looking for what may benefit ourselves may be the day that we, as humans, finally make steps toward being capable of living on this planet. We have a fascination with ourselves and wonder why so many people go to different religions, can it be that as humans "we don't know how we OUGHT to live" and since we don't we look to ways to back up what we find most convenient. When we turn to peace and accept nature and death, as bad as that sounds. Who said that we are the last creature in the ladder of evolution, didn't the jellyfish think it would be the final frontier of evolution when IT was made, then who is to say that we were made to govern this earth but rather inhabit it.
"What is the purpose of Life?" We may never know because we may not be capable of knowing, no matter what religion you are, we all share the same emotions and feelings. Maybe the real purpose is to co-exist with each other, build relationships, become friends, accept nature as equal to humanity, and see what happens from there...

The purpose of life is to make everyone around you happier than they would have been without you. If you can make someone happier because you helped them, or even because you existed, you are on your way.
The one mind trip to ask yourself "what if I never existed". It's a good laugh at first, but this person never would have met this person, and she wouldn't have met him, if you didnt talk to this guy. It is crazy how many lives you touch by just interacting with people. That's definitely the purpose of life...Interaction.

At present stage of human history, when the continued work of the Godly-guidance stands, already, perfected in terms of the long series of prophets and their Scriptures. And__ the Day of Judgement is also at hand. The masses must review, all and all of that, which is being maintained by them; in the name of faith and belief.
The ignorant must pay heed to the Scriptures and the Message of Monotheism, contained therein. Still there is some time for the Repentive Recourse to reform and recognize the actual purpose of life including the actualisation thereof.
Jesus (PBUH) had given this message in his prayer on the cross (The Psalm 22)
“Praise the Lord, you servants of the Lord
Honour the Lord,
You descendants of Jacob
Worship the Lord, you people of Israel.”
(The Psalm 22:23)
It means that praise is meant for the Lord alone. And___ to honour the Lord means to obey the Lord in terms of the Lord’s Commandments and to worship the Lord means to seek help and refuge from the Lord as the Lord is the Omnipotent-Protector alone. And___ that is the sole purpose of human life.
TIME FIX
Creatures are fixed in present and can not move back in past to correct a thing or to make a change and the reason for this Fix is to keep the record safe till it is required by the ordained forces of judgement of GOD and the will of GOD.
Creature have no power over their future to make it of their choice and are helpless against all comings, happenings and incidents and that is to keep the moral state alive as a court of GOD and to impose the will of GOD.
That is the time fix called the present in our world providing us a chance to earn the future.
EARNING OF THE FUTURE
Those who put others in troubles, pain and disaster by doing injustice, aggression and by causing harm and loss and create fear and chaos earn what they do and they will find all that in return. In simple words they have earned what they have done and it will be measured according to the feelings of those who were targeted for suffering.
Those who have benefited the humanity and have taken care of all creatures have earned prosperity of future, which will be ultimate without an end.
It was told to all the people by all the Wise that do for others what you want others to do with you and don’t do what you don’t want others to do with you and by saying so, the Wise handed over the scale of judgement in every body’s hand and that is why GOD says that one is a judge of ones own self over ones own deeds.
On the day of judgement, one will find what one earned. The day of judgement is a great day of return of the acts performed by the creatures.

Life – it has a meaning and loving purpose - you just have to find your purpose and live it.
I believe every person is here for a definite purpose. Each person is special and valuable; that refers to me, you, your family, friends, in fact everybody! There is a loving plan for each of our lives here on earth and there is no such thing as coincidence. I don't believe that anything in life happens by chance and that every aspect of our lives points to something deeper.
You need to decide now to live for God rather than for yourself. You spend your life on Earth preparing yourself (as best you can) for death. I don't see death as a scary, negative experience, but birth into a bliss filled eternal life with God. I believe that this is something you have to consciously choose or not during your life on earth.
The meaning of life is for us to discover that we are true children of an infinitely loving and merciful God, to find out what our responsibilities are to our Creator, and to fulfill those responsibilities. Each of us is called to affirm, accept and develop the talents God has given us. -

Purpose of life is to be set by your own. Someone survive for money, some for power, some for fame, some for family, some for charity....etc

to aid aliens in their quest to transverse the galaxy by being test subjects for the only thing that could travel such distances: viruses
well slaughter and nuke each other until there is nothing left and the virus remaining will be the toughest to travel across the universe
'tis our purpose :)

To make our own purpose. That's the purpose! *laughs* Well, it's true. Can't get much simpler than that.

Our own purposes are as unique as we are and no one persons purpose is the same as anothers. Mine is to dress up in a Devil costume, and ding-dong-ditch peoples homes.
I will ring your doorbell and run away!!!

We are beings of spirit, come here to learn or prove something specific. We choose everything about ourselves and come here for knowledge. I think Earth is a college of sorts for the spirit.
Peace!

religion tries to answer this but they do fail miserably. the only explanation I can give you is to experience life whether it be good or bad because that is why we are alive
