Personally I believe we are born to be independant and responsibible for our own happiness and well being.
Spiritually I suspect this is hell and a soul is sent back over and over until a person evolves into a soul worthy of eternal bliss. This is why some children seem to be born as old souls- full of wisdom, common sense and unique abilities to command respect. Some children are born with new souls that lack impulse control and basic human survival instincts. Some people only have a little more to do to be accepted into heaven, this is why a song was written about "only the good die young."
I feel I am meant to serve others. I seek career choices that often are undesired by my peers because my heart tells me to. Someone needs to do it. Also I believe there are solutions to every problem, when social issues repeat themself generation and after generation, laws and society need to appraoch the problem differently- (think outside the box. If a protocal did not work ten years ago and things have gotten worse, the rules need to be changed and stop wasting and redistributing tax payers money).
Also I believe experience is worth its weight in gold. A higher education is only valuable when that educated person actually works and understands what he/she is in charge of. School teaches us how to learn, nothing more. If a person feels too good to get his/her hands dirty, than we have a person who is incompetent applying for management positions.
I believe we are put here to be the best we can be, to help others and care about the human race. Some are put here to challenge this and some people are the blessed that need our help and are here to teach us compassion by allowing us to help them.

this has been a question I been thinking for a longest time, I thought I discovered and knew my answer but when the conflict and issue happened in life that beat me down, once again, I asked myself "why I am here for"
I knew I want to make a difference, I hope this world will be a better place after I leave, It is not easy to truly find your passion and feel that daily but just ask yourself truly.
then live that everyday, it is better to leave some good and make some good difference than doing nothing.
I knew what I am going to do, passion still not 100% came out of me yet but I am not going to wait here for me to feel it to do something.
I start doing something and by doing it, I feel and understand why I am here. at least today, I helped someone, I had make a difference in this world.
Hopefully you will find the meaning of your life soon.
hopefully it will benefits someone in this world.
:-)

That is a very good question... i stopped thinking about his question awhile ago, was weighing me down, so i let it go but, i still havent figured out what im here for... but, i think of me as just part of the human race.... we all serve a purpose, and i think we need to figure out how to do that as a whole. (no.. im not a hippie... i could care less about the enviroment, but i do think we need to start slowing down pollution a bit... im a 15 year old guy, and i don think i wanna wear a gas mask to work...)

We are in this world for a reason, a season and a better tomorrow. I live for tomorrow and even though sometimes it's hard to look for something worthwhile, I always find the strenghth to get me there.

I am always living for different things,
but the main things that are always on my mind, is to keep my loved ones and myself healthy and happy in order for them to enjoy life, themselves, and me, to the fullest extent.
I live for knowledge of my roots and for the future and to also continue the human race with a small imprint of me and what I lived for in the world and what I loved, in the form of my offspring.

So God could have a good laugh. I don't think humans really serve any purpose. Instead of benefiting anything, we pretty much just trashed the earth. We're as messy and damaging as any pest. Our feces don't turn to fertilizer and help plants grow; we just dump them into lakes and rivers and kill and poison them. We kill other people and animals just for sport. We cut trees unnecessarily to build buildings that we don't always need. We fight and kill each other just because of cultural differences. Animals are more peacable; humans are supposed to be sociable creatures, but instead we have wars with every country we come in contact with. In the test of survival, it seems like the animal kingdom as the upper hand. Mankind is its worst enemy.

I'm here for the ladies...
But seriously...
Ones with whonking great knobs...
Okay, I kid,
(sort of,) really, I am living for life itself, and nothing more. Folks that need their name to tell you that they are "extremely intelligent," would be more credible if they just used their answer to get that point across...Anyone who says that they are a "spiritual being," needs to take life more seriously, people, I'll say this one more time...
THERE IS NO GOD OR BRAHMA, THEY ARE EXISTENTIAL METAPHORS USED TO HELP CHILDREN UNDERSTAND THE INTERCONNECTEDNESS OF ALL THINGS...
We (all living creatures,) are not living "for" any one thing, (unless we become aberrant and obsess on something,) human beings could get by on "we live for each other," but that can be interpreted in a hundred billion ways...Even if it means to make others suffer, or to fool them into wasting their life for the hollow promise of the here-after...Enjoy your time here...Don't live just for "fun," or you will eventually find that nothing will satisfy your lusts...Live for everything and everyone, we are not promised tomorrow.

I think the meaning of life is simply to live.
And by that I mean to have a good time enjoy life the best you can without interfering with someone else's enjoyment of life.

I just wanna kick back and have a great time, cuz I'm only here for how long? No clue but it sure isn't that long, so I might as well have fun.
