What is your highest goal in your entire existence on this earth?

Question

What do you desire of life in its completeness? What do you think of death, and are you saddened by it? How are you going to go and achieve this goal in your day to day life?

Answer 1

To be the best person that I possibly can so my Creator (God) will let me come home by his divine grace.
I'm not supposed to be afraid of death but I still am - I think it's because I still struggle to be a good person instead of acting on foolish impulse. Yes, death still saddens me.
I think that I have to keep getting back up every time I fall. I know that I'm forgiven if I truly repent.

Answer 2

I want to see it all--the whole human experience, including watching the human race grow into a mature species over the millennia. To do so will, of course, require immortality, as well as the ability to transcend into higher life forms as the human race advances.

My view on death is that it is such a terrible waste of human experience and sentience. I'm 36 now, not quite halfway thru an average human lifespan. I think of all the experiences I've had, all the things I've learned, all the wisdom I've gained. An average person will acquire twice what I have, and to lose it all, to never again be able to live life, is such a great loss that death is to be avoided at all costs.

When someone you know is alive, they are a part of your past, present and future. You have memories of them, you interact with them in the present, and in most cases you can count on interacting with them in the future. When they die, all that changes. They become from that point on permanently a part of the past, forever more in no one's present or future. They are lost to the advancement of time, the same advancement which defines life and its experiences. But there is nothing that says WHEN life must end.

I'm hoping, to borrow a title from a Ray Kurzweil book, to live long enough to live forever. I take my vitamins & nootropics, keep reasonably fit, and always seek to exercise my brain with new knowledge, new wisdom, new viewpoints, and new experiences. Beyond that, it's a matter of biding my time and hoping the technology of life extension eventually extends life at a rate greater than one year per year. Because I really do want to do and see and experience it all....

Answer 4

I want to get to 12,000 feet above Hull Mountain one of these days so I can cruise all the way across Lake Pillsbury and still have enough altitude to make it to the LZ on the northern shore of the lake. I think of death as a great way to relax, albeit permanently. How am I going to thermal to 12,000 feet? I think I need to find a nice big fat thermal with at least a 600 feet per minute up component. I also need to set a steeper bank angle, because my wide 360 turns tend to take me out of the thermal's core, the thermal spits me out.

Answer 5

Creation of a system by which there is more than enough land and resources for all and through which death will cease to exist. (info on which is on my personal page at joshupetersen.googlepages.com)
