I don't think there really is an "ultimate goal" to life. Life is what you make it. But I do feel that we have an obligation to try to make the world a better place for future generations.

That depends.
I'm sure different people have different "ultimate goals".
As a Christian, I believe the "ultimate goal" is to live a life that has been pleasing to my Savior, Jesus Christ.

To produce more life.
What is the ultimate goal IN life is a much more interesting question.

To learn how to live the "abundant life" as described by the following quote:
To measure the goodness of life by its delights and pleasures and safety is to apply a false standard. The abundant life does not consist of a glut of luxury. It does not make itself content with commercially produced pleasure, the nightclub idea of what is a good time, mistaking it for joy and happiness.
On the contrary, obedience to law, respect for others, mastery of self, joy in service—these constitute the abundant life.
("In Quest of the Abundant Life", Thomas S. Monson)

Well, I have to agree with Norman Vincent Peale that it is to shatter the loneliness. However, he believed it was to forge a relationship with God. I say it is to break down the barriers between human beings so that we can trust and be close to one another.

No, it isn't learning. It's understanding the truth of our existence - but not academically - intuitively. Practice Vipassana meditation, and find out.

Easy. To live your life as God intended you to live. He gave us all a purpose. Find out what it is, and do the best you can to live up to what he wants for you.
