Answer 1

Yes, I wondered when I was not yet know the meaning or purpose being alive , But now not anymore, by listening to a sensible preacher and by reading a bible .
;
Ecc 12:13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.
Ecc 2:1 I said in mine heart, Go to now, I will prove thee with mirth, therefore enjoy pleasure: and, behold, this also is vanity.
Ecc 2:2 I said of laughter, It is mad: and of mirth, What doeth it?
Ecc 2:3 I sought in mine heart to give myself unto wine, yet acquainting mine heart with wisdom; and to lay hold on folly, till I might see what was that good for the sons of men, which they should do under the heaven all the days of their life.
Ecc 2:4 I made me great works; I builded me houses; I planted me vineyards:
Ecc 2:5 I made me gardens and orchards, and I planted trees in them of all kind of fruits:
Ecc 2:6 I made me pools of water, to water therewith the wood that bringeth forth trees:
Ecc 2:7 I got me servants and maidens, and had servants born in my house; also I had great possessions of great and small cattle above all that were in Jerusalem before me:
Ecc 2:8 I gathered me also silver and gold, and the peculiar treasure of kings and of the provinces: I gat me men singers and women singers, and the delights of the sons of men, as musical instruments, and that of all sorts.
Ecc 2:9 So I was great, and increased more than all that were before me in Jerusalem: also my wisdom remained with me.
Ecc 2:10 And whatsoever mine eyes desired I kept not from them, I withheld not my heart from any joy; for my heart rejoiced in all my labour: and this was my portion of all my labour.
Ecc 2:11 Then I looked on all the works that my hands had wrought, and on the labour that I had laboured to do: and, behold, all was vanity and vexation of spirit, and there was no profit under the sun.
Ecc 2:12 And I turned myself to behold wisdom, and madness, and folly: for what can the man do that cometh after the king? even that which hath been already done.
Ecc 2:13 Then I saw that wisdom excelleth folly, as far as light excelleth darkness.
Ecc 2:14 The wise man's eyes are in his head; but the fool walketh in darkness: and I myself perceived also that one event happeneth to them all.
Ecc 2:15 Then said I in my heart, As it happeneth to the fool, so it happeneth even to me; and why was I then more wise? Then I said in my heart, that this also is vanity.
Ecc 2:16 For there is no remembrance of the wise more than of the fool for ever; seeing that which now is in the days to come shall all be forgotten. And how dieth the wise man? as the fool.
Ecc 2:17 Therefore I hated life; because the work that is wrought under the sun is grievous unto me: for all is vanity and vexation of spirit.
Ecc 2:18 Yea, I hated all my labour which I had taken under the sun: because I should leave it unto the man that shall be after me.
Ecc 2:19 And who knoweth whether he shall be a wise man or a fool? yet shall he have rule over all my labour wherein I have laboured, and wherein I have shewed myself wise under the sun. This is also vanity.
Ecc 2:20 Therefore I went about to cause my heart to despair of all the labour which I took under the sun.
Ecc 2:21 For there is a man whose labour is in wisdom, and in knowledge, and in equity; yet to a man that hath not laboured therein shall he leave it for his portion. This also is vanity and a great evil.
Ecc 2:22 For what hath man of all his labour, and of the vexation of his heart, wherein he hath laboured under the sun?
Ecc 2:23 For all his days are sorrows, and his travail grief; yea, his heart taketh not rest in the night. This is also vanity.
Ecc 2:24 There is nothing better for a man, than that he should eat and drink, and that he should make his soul enjoy good in his labour. This also I saw, that it was from the hand of God.
Ecc 2:25 For who can eat, or who else can hasten hereunto, more than I?
Ecc 2:26 For God giveth to a man that is good in his sight wisdom, and knowledge, and joy: but to the sinner he giveth travail, to gather and to heap up, that he may give to him that is good before God. This also is vanity and vexation of spirit.

In this verse of the bible(Ecclesiaste 12:13) it states the whole duty of man. And in the succeding verses King Solomon have all he wants but he realized that all of that is nothing.

Answer 2

Yes. We all have a purpose. Whether we do something with it or not is another thing. Most of us don't know what our purpose is. In fact, most of us don't even think about it, because we haven't the foggest ideal what it is. It very simply and anyone can do it. It's called LOVE AND KINDNESS. To help others in their time of need. Everybody needs alittle kindness. To think of others instead of yourself and put yourself in their shoes. Sometimes even the simplest things like a smile could make a person fell better. Just try alittle KINDNESS and you'll see. It can (and should) bring Happiness to your own self too.

Answer 3

You can't just coast through life expecting to find your purpose, you have to work toward something. Bill Gates didn't invent Microsoft by accident, for example.

Answer 5

If you want a good answer to this question from a Christian perspective, I suggest reading the Purpose Driven Life written by Rick Warren.

Answer 6

What's wrong with the purpose of just enjoying life and trying your best to help others around you to enjoy their lives.

Making yourself and others happy don't sound like a bad journey to take.

Answer 7

Sure. I used to believe I had some great destiny or purpose. I now know that was just wishful thinking, perhaps even narcissism.

If it turns out to be true after all, great. In the meantime, I'm living with my feet on the ground instead of my head in the clouds.

Answer 8

The main prupose of life is to know why we are here, why God has sent us here in this world.
God has sent us here in this world to recognize Him, and leave worshiping Idols which got no powers or cant move an inch.
Leave the worship of Humans who are just like us, they are born from Mother and eat food like us.
We should recognize our true GOD.
and worship Him, and fulfill His commands given in Quran.
God has mentioned about Him in Quran that.

Say: He, Allah, is one.

اللَّهُ الصَّمَدُ
2. Allah, the Ever-Enduring.

لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْ
3. He bore not, nor was He born.

وَلَمْ يَكُن لَّهُ كُفُوًا أَحَدٌ
4. And neither was, to Him, a match (any) one.

One day we have to go back to Him, and answers our deeds, that what have we done in life before death.

Thatswhy please read Quran and see the real truth.

There is no god but Allah, Prophet Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.

(peace be upon Him)

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.

Answer 10

Peace!
Yes, I have. I came to the conclusion that our purpose in life is to give our best to be what we can be and be a good guy while doing that.

Answer 11

There's nothing more to life than just living it. There doesn't need to be a purpose or anything more to it than that. Human beings are the most grasping, dissatisfied species ever.
