Why eat: you will only get hungry again.
Why drink: you will only get thirsty again.
Why sleep: you will only become drowzy again.
Why wash clothes, clean house, do anything at all?
Because that is what life is all about: it is NOT exciting, seldom interesting. Most of life is the humdrum boring things needed just to stay alive.
The point of living is to make the most of yourself that you can.

That is like the old question that some of us probably asked as children. Why make your bed when you're going to mess it up again later? Or better, why brush the back of your teeth when nobody is going to see them anyway? There is a point to making beds, brushing the back side of one's teeth and there is a point to life, even if we die. Serve God and glorify him is the ultimate point of life. But there are also sub-points like learning, enjoying food, places, and other people. Living also allows us to become better people. Enjoy life while you can. For we are but a mist in this world.

The human being is the only being of which we are aware that asks these questions. There is something meaningful in the very fact that we wonder such things in the first place--perhaps the questioning is more fundamental than any particular answer. Yet, we do answer such questions, and our answering defines the nature of our being in a strong sense. The human being from this perspective is radically free, but condemned to answer, to choose. Our answering is not only personal and subjective, but on the level of culture and society. Our answering of fundamentally unanswerable questions is embodied in our institutions and norms. So become aware of your nature as the being for whom "meaning" is an issue at all, be critical of your own assumptions and related perspectives, and those of society--and live deliberately.

This is my belief in answer to your question; I strongly feel that we are born or brought into physical being by the creator to experience life. To make a choice whether to be good or evil. The choices we make will affect our growth spiritually. We are spiritual beings who are immortal and our short life spans on earth is not our true home. We are here for a reason

It's a gift! You are part of an incredible journey into consciousness, if you use it wisely to understand life you need not worry about the eventual 'death' of your body. Try to understand and have compassion for all forms of life and honour the planet, your sacred mother, the possibilities are endless, limited only by your imagination and curiosity to know.

To provide future generations so that life may continue - and possibly there is an afterlife to look forward to.

To find some answers and make a difference while we are still at it. Death doesn't make life any less meaningful, it just shortens it.
