You know, every human being in the world has a purpose and thats the point of living , if you don't have a purpose in life, there is no point living. In the bible it says the whole purpose of man is to serve God. That is if you believe in the bible. I often wonder if people like alcoholics have a purpose in life, they would get up every day and get drunk and i am wondering, do they have a purpose in life? because if you dot have purpose it doesn't make sense you are living. So a purpose gives you something to work for, something to work towards.
You also said what is the point of believing in god, and I will say that human beings need something to believe in ,it is what keeps us, keeps us sane. A world without some sort of believe in god or something is a hopeless world. If i didn't have a god to pray to every night, to talk to, to relieve all the stress they are going through, can you imagine the effect on the society it would have? Even if there is no God, just the belief that there is a God listening to you when you pray is very important to human, it helps us to go on even when we want to give up, it gives us strength.

I think purpose itself is important. That's what differentiates us from being animals. We know we're alive and just like animals we will fight to survive ... However we do not live purely JUST to survive. We live for purpose. Because purpose gives us a sense that life MEANS something. If we live correctly we have a sense of hope that we did something meaningful in our lives; whether thats inspiring other lives, or gaining the right to enter a better after life. If we do reach heaven, nirvana or whatever good afterlife you wish to believe in, we can look back at our lives and conclude that our actions, our choices had purpose... Imagine a life without purpose. It would be chaotic and tumultuos. Nothing would matter, except survival ... We would, in almost all aspects, be nothing more than a very smart animal.

I don't yearn to know what my purpose in life is. I just yearn to know what I can possibly do with the rest of my life.
On the flipside, when I think about all the achievements that I have not earned and how lost I feel all the time, I do begin to think about my purpose in life. It makes me feel better knowing that even tho I feel pretty useless to society, there must be some kind of reason that I am here.

I agree. We have looked for Meaning, for significance, for that signal that says, "this is the right thing, the correct way". We have worshiped beauty, placed it on the pedestal of things that Matter. What makes us human, alive, moving, is our yearing, what scientist call evolvment and progress, and the poet expresses as the yearning, the love of mystery. We wake every morning in hope that something better, somthing extrodinary, will jump our way. We are rarely happy with what we have NOW, and perchance that is human as well. Always searching, never ceasing. And that is good! Else we fall into that fathomelss pit, boredome, the root of all modern evil!

Good question. But you can only learn when u try to engage yourself in finding the answer. no single one can give this answer that might be acceptable to you.
Try to answer the following questions first.... who are you? Don't tell me ur name... b/c I cannot associate anything to that name.... why is that b/c I hve nvr seen you, even if I had seen you.. would I think that Claudia is the body.. the flesh or the blood? Then try to answer to yourself, what do you like to do the best and why? Then try to think why you can do that particular thing better than others? What makes you special?... u know I just cannot say everything in this answers... it needs interactive session.... I just cannot say from one side, I need your feedback too to discuss this issue. Read some books on Legotherapy... how it developed... and try to think and observe human behavior....
there is no easy answer its not so easy to know everything by one single question....
You need to study.... a lot

Purpose does not exist. Progress does not exist. Reason does not exist. All the questions are a waste of breath. As for the answers: Vanity, pure vanity! As Jehovah said to the ever moaning Job: "Where were you when I created the Universe?"

Fear of mortality. People are always looking for meaning in life and/or after death because the thought of death and lack of personal importance and significance is very threatening. Nobody wants to believe that their life is meaningless and without purpose. We look for a reason in everything ... this is partly why we are at the top of the food chain - higher level thinking skills.

Before religion, people where killing each other and doing what ever they wanted. You cant really have a effective civialition with everyone out for themselves so someone created a religion and the rest is history......
Religion is a way to control the masses. To make them easier to control. People need purpose to have a reason to live. Living to die to go to heaven is kind of redunant ot me....
Just live your life to live, not to die

Yearning is to know the source from where u are being originated. Its not important, but till that is known some yearning remains.
