what is the meaning of life? what do we live for?

Question

in different stages of our life,we must face this question and think about it again and again. Usually we got different answers.Sometimes we may wonder whether there is the utimate answer to this question or it company us in all over of our life.

Answer 1

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 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. -

Answer 2

I always try to live life in a positive note. The word life does not have a meaning but quotes I follow my life with are..
"Life is what you make it" . This definitely makes sense, you live for yourself or for what you want... Life can also be considered a huge journey for some people. It's a part of our journey, if you believe in reincarnation, life is just another step before your afterlife..
My favorite quote is "I 've come to the conclusion that if having things turn out the way you wanted them to is a measure of a successful life, then some would say I'm a failure. The important thing is not to be bitter over life's disappointments. Learn to let go of the past. And recognize that everyday won't be sunny. And when you find yourself lost in your darkness and despair.. REMEMBER it's only in the black at night when you can see the stars, and those stars will lead you back home. So don't be afraid to make mistakes, stumble , fall because most of the time the greatest rewards come from doing the things that scare you the most. Maybe you will get everything you wished for, maybe you will get more than you ever could've imagined. Who knows where life will take you? The road is long, and in the end.. the journey is the destination."

Answer 3

The meaning of life is to find something you love doing, and someone you love being with. In my opinion any answer involving god is superficial. If there is a god, and the one Christian choose to worship is the right one, why should I be so lucky as to have the opportunity to worship him, why should I be sent to heaven because I was born into a Christians family in the US, I would rather burn in hell than see innocent people suffer because of fate and cultural diversity. Don't tell me that they could have converted, that is such bs, and so artificial. Plus why would I spend all my life preparing for death, sounds a little pessimistic to me. I am in no way trying to convert anyone. I just seems that Christianity is the status quo, life is simply a series of choices or actions and consequences. An endless string of predetermined fate. Sure we may have free will but that will has already been chosen our path is there, and although we choose it, it has already decided. A twist of this idea is the image of a glass falling to ground. Like the glass is on a path to smash into the ground, we are on a path to death, and humanity to an end, all though no one knows where the glass will land, or how we will die, that is simply a result of choices whether made by us or outside factors. Thus life is never really here.

Answer 4

Right you are. The thing is we again forget about the idea of scale. Think of life as a journey, The big aim could be to go to say South Africa from Los Angeles (ie). Now if one is 14 years old, there might be a dozen other things that need to be done before buying the ticket. They are smaller aims or goals. The only one or ones you might be aware about probably don`t have anything to do with South Africa. So the point is that depending on your point of view things could easily look very confused. Take one step at a time and ENJOY. The capitalized word is that way for a reason. It is the most important.

Answer 5

When i was a "born again christian", i used to know the answer for that question. Life is meaningful when you have a personal relationship with God; and you live for the glory of God.

But I ain't a christian anymore, and it's gotten all muddled. However, maybe that's a good thing coz now i know there are questions in life that don't have answers. That's frustrating at times but makes existence less dull and monotonus than before.

Answer 6

Yes, you're right...we all wander about sense ! But what if there isn't any ?! Is that shocking realization, or is it just natural; I mean, animals are born, they live and at the end they die, the same goes for all living creatures, I believe our perception of life as a whole should change...Westerners are inclined to see death as the end of everything, in fact it is just about transforming...Our mortal body becomes organic food for other forms of life and the circle goes on, if you know what I mean ! We shouldn't worry about our death, for it will inevitably come sooner or later...

Answer 7

Life is a Mystery , solve it.
Life is a Song, sing it.
Life is a musical instrument, play it with full heart and vigor.
Life is an ice cream, lick it up before it melts down.

So , life is what you feel and what you make of it. I believe that LIFE is a golden opportunity given to each one of us to explore the natural beauties created by God , to relish the fruits he has made for us, to play in his playgrounds like mountains and valleys, to dance drenched in the showers of rain , to appreciate the beauty of flowers , to be amused by the feelings like love.

Answer 8

Life is a journey, an adventure, exploring the unknown, tredding new paths, reaching new horizons in search for best in ourselves, whatever be the situations or circumstances, scarcities and constraints, for its all about living as God makes us live and doing our best without hope for rewards or results !

Answer 9

Each one of havesomeduties and responsibility for which we are here for, We should try and identify what we are here for. then your live becomes meaningful and there will be no such questions arising.

Answer 10

This life is probably a test, or an experience in tough conditions, to learn how to love. That makes the most sense to me. Life is about learning how to love people and in turn, God.?
