What's the meaning of life?

Question

What is the point of life? Do you believe in a higher power?

Answer 1

Your life has a divine purpose.

God, your Heavenly Father, has prepared a marvelous plan for your happiness. When you realize that God has a plan for you, it is easier to understand why you are on this earth. God wants all of His children to progress and become more like Him. This time on Earth provides opportunities for you to grow and progress. Coming here allows you to:

Receive a physical body.
Exercise agency and learn to choose between good and evil.
Learn and gain experience that will help you become more like your Heavenly Father.
By following our Heavenly Father’s plan, you—like all of His children—can someday return to live with Him and with your loved ones. You can have greater peace in this life and eternal joy in the life to come.

Answer 2

This question can't be answer by me for sure because people have a different point of view on this point. I think the point of life is people do good things and avoid bad as ancient Greeks told. I believe in a higher power the power inside us.

Answer 3

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.....

Answer 5

The main point of life is to acquire as much power as possible. It is that simple.

Answer 6

I believe that it's to discover the fruits of life; wisdom, understanding, compassion, love, appreciation, empathy, in general happiness. To seek tools to help gain any or all of these and to avoid or eliminate things that keep us from experiencing the best that life has to offer. To recognize and exploit the potentials for happiness. To share our lives and help each other in any way we can.

Answer 7

the higher power permeates all existance. the meaning of life, is "to be" it is an experience.

Answer 8

There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something more bizarrely inexplicable.

Answer 9

For you to be King or Queen and me to be Princess of quite a lot.

Answer 10

Happiness and Love.
