Not the philosophical question, but what do you live for? Do you live to help others, love someone, raise children, make art? Join a religon? Besides waking up, going to work, watching tv, eating, having sex, and sleeping, what do you live for?

i live to continue growing, learning, i am not done yet with this experience here on earth, this life, i know that if i stay open, i can learn something new, think a new thought, revisit something old
yes, part of my life includes the things you mention, helping, loving, watching my child grow, these things bring joy to my life, but i live to live , and the whole of my life gives it meaning

Until I come of age, my life is about small things, like keeping the people around me happy and smiling, helping someone without expecting something in return... making people feel good by my presence... not being a waste of space.
When I'm over-age, I hope to do bigger and better things, whatever I make of my career.

Life energy flows through us like a swift stream when there is nothing to obstruct it, but various forces such as trauma, downbeat vibrations, and disappointments act like stones that impede the current. If we allow these to pile up, our life energy is thrown off its course or blocked entirely, causing illness, restlessness, and a lack of vigor. If, however, we take the time to clear these forces away, we rob them of the power to impact our lives. When we cultivate simple yet affirmative habits such as taking regular cleansing baths, practicing meditation and breathing exercises, smudging, and self-shielding, we protect ourselves from outside influences that might otherwise impede our energy flow. Likewise, we lessen the impact of inner influences when we clear our auras of unwanted attachments and divest ourselves of blocked emotions.
A strong and fluid energy field is the key that unlocks the doors of self-healing and peace of mind. Your awareness of the flow of energy sustaining you empowers you to take charge of your own well-being by taking steps to unblock, correct, and enhance that flow. Fear will likely be the culprit when you cannot identify the source of stagnation—you may simply be afraid to let go of what is obstructing the flow. Letting go can be challenging, but the exuberance you will feel when the flow is restored will be a welcome and blessed reward.
So ...life is the mixture of everything ...life is our perfect teacher ..the wisdom of fear,
We can help ourselves to remember this perfect teacher each day with a few simple words. Each morning we might find a moment to say, "I acknowledge and honor the teacher that is my life. May I be wise enough to recognize the teachers and lessons that I encounter today, and may I be open to receiving their wisdom." We might also take some time each day to consider what our lives are trying to teach us at this time. A difficult phase in your relationship with your child may be teaching you to let go. The homeless person you see every day may be showing you the boundaries of your compassion and generosity. A spate of lost items may be asking you to be more present to physical reality. Trust your intuition on the nature of the lesson at hand, work at your own pace, and ask as many questions as you want. Your life has all the answers.....life is life and it can never be explained in words...it is beautiful and let us not explain and destroy its beauty...
Life is what Life itself is.....

seeing the happiness in someones eyes that is truly glad to see me
seeing the smile on a face of someone after they finished their first dive
seeing the completeness in someone when they bicycle up that steep hill and make it for the first time.
