As a human being we have different responsibilities to perform, but for making ourselfs happy, do we have time to think, what makes us happy and what makes as unhappy. We are just following the society, but not thinking practically, really what makes us happy.

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.
So the bottom line is, we only have a temporary meaning to life, to reduce pain and increase pleasure, other than that everything is lost to oblivion.
To be or not to be? "To be" is temporary and "not to be" is inevitable.....

For me, "deserve" is an precis concept based on the ethical features of whoever is putting themselves as decide. Morals fluctuate the two between species and between persons interior of a species. see you later in the past in tribal structures, the "different tribes" did not deserve something and as time stronger we've prolonged our morals to strangers or perhaps different species. it is why i don't take everyone heavily who says our worldwide is extra evil than it was. i'm not asserting it is acceptable by any stretch of the mind's eye however the attractiveness of human and animal rights by maximum of states in modern-day cases is a lot above the morality of days long previous by. human beings only stereotype the previous as "the solid previous days". to respond to your question from maximum individuals's ethical perspectives, it can be a conditional sure. Conditional on the human following the morals of their society. From the attitude in many cases accompanied by human beings discussing morality, the respond is extra complicated. maximum individuals have their very own ethical attitude in keeping with genetics and lifestyle to boot as existence journey. the element is, this attitude is own yet with out looking objectively on the ethical perspectives of a lot of human beings, one might tend to anticipate that there is a difficulty-free morality. it is not the case so the question now turns into precis. The precis answer is not any yet not that they need to be unhappy the two. only simply by fact there is not something precis to define suited or incorrect. there is not something suited simply by fact's solid or incorrect simply by fact's incorrect, quite they're suited or incorrect in basic terms simply by fact they're perceived that way. they're interior the attention of the beholder, in an attempt to talk. maximum individuals do exchange into attentive to worldwide peace and unity as a ethical suited nevertheless, so the sensible answer would be sure. whether there's a extra physically powerful, purpose and difficulty-free morality is neither right here nor there.

You are in this world not because of your effort. The creator knows the purpose. First find who are you and why you are here in this world. Analise many religious books to have an idea. Do you know the story -- five blinds touching the elephant and their comments?

There is no purpose for existence, this world is just a probability that was fulfilled and there is no divine principle guiding it. That means that you must find your own rules and live by them. And that will determine your happiness.
What makes me good and happy? Sleeping next to the one I love. Producing a good piece. Yes.

The purpose of human life is to SURVIVE. We do everything for survival. We ear, we earn and we enjoy because we want to survive in this world.
To be happy, we should do the right thing and try to keep others happy. This will keep us happy.

Our current system of living has made us a 'slave' to the social circumstances and has led us into living an artificial life. Starting from our food to our entertainment and to our happiness - almost everything is ARTIFICIAL.
People would define happiness differently - my happiness depends on the fulfillment of my dreams and aspirations.

Purpose of life is whatever the individual chooses. Happiness comes when the individual feel empowered to control his or her own destiny, wants to do what they are doing, knows how to do it, and approves of what they are doing.
For those who think that what they are doing can only be approved of if it is approved of by someone else, they must recognise that that is their choice.
