Answer 3

I ask this same question once in a meditation. The answer came clear as a bell.

It said I have placed you here to learn the true meaning of Love. What ever it was that was answering then told me something that really set me back. It said that I felt the way I did about certain people because I did not understand the true meaning of love. I protested and said that I did my best to love all of the people who were deserving of love.

It replied "yes that is your misunderstanding. You see love as something that you dole out in tiny little portions here and there to people who you have judged to be worthy of it. This is not love at all, it is only judgment". This stopped me dead in my tracks. I suddenly realized that what it was saying to me was true. This realization brought me to tears. It went
on and told me, "You treat love as though there is some shortage of it. It is not something that you can run out of. The more love that you give, the more love that there is in the world. Its that simple. The only way that there can be a shortage of it is if you hoard it and keep it to yourself."

It went on to explain, that "this is what Jesus was trying to tell you when he asked you to turn the other cheek, to judge not and to love your neighbor. He made no exceptions in these things that he requested of you. Why are you making exceptions, and judging some as worthy of love and others as not? Jesus fully intended for you to apply this love that you are to all, in a universal manner without any judgment of any sort". By this time the tears Were flowing freely. I was crying because for the first time in my life I Understood what the message Jesus left for us in the bible actually meant.

This has become my truth. I can't say what yours is for sure, but I have a feeling that it is probably similar.

Answer 4

I believe the purpose of life is finding truth within yourself first and then finding truth out in the world. The key is helping the lost WANT to see the "TRUTH." With truth comes honesty, with honesty comes embarrassment, with embarrassment comes redemption and with redemption comes true freedom.

Answer 5

the purpose of my life is to love my 3 beautiful kids and try to give them the best life possible. we (hubby&me) brought them into the world so i think that is what our purpose is.

Answer 6

purpose will vary for every individual and living thing.
purpose is a matter of choice. for each person, that will be different. you have to find your own purpose. it's ultimately what will illuminate the path of your existence. good luck in your journey.

Answer 7

Whatever you choose to make of it. Buddhism sees human life as a chance to study the dharma and work on cultivating absolute altruism and working towards enlightenment. Everyone sees their purpose differently... there is no absolute "truth".

Answer 8

To worship one God, to do good deeds, to abstain from evil deeds, and to help make this world a better place for all. This life is a test, to determine where we're going to go FOREVER! Look into Islam for the answers!

Answer 9

Human beings are created to know God. He instilled in us a thirst that will not be satisfied until we reach out to Him for companionship and love. Paul wrote in Philippians 3:8 (NAS), "More than that, I count all things to be loss in view of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them but rubbish so that I may gain Christ."
We were created to have an intimate, loving relationship with the Lord? and to bring Him glory. Paying respect with our gifts and good works is a natural extension of that design. But our primary responsibility is to spend time with Him.
