To discover, learn and understand to the best of our capability, "why" we are here. If and when that is accomplished, to either not want to be here and be willing to leave gracefully when I time comes, or if we decide to come back, that we do so only out of love and in order to help others realize the same thing. I'm 73.

I will say life's purpose is to love, learn, grow, and appreciate and overcome when need be, while touching other lives in a positive way making them stronger in turn giving you strength to continue each day feeling a part of the human family devinely different as well similar

i don't know..i mean i think some have a purpose that is positive, and try to make a difference for others.
some have a purpose that is destructive, and you want to avoid them.
the reason for this is that although god has a plan for all of us, he also gave us free will, and hopes that we make the right choices. We can learn by experience or by example.
maybe our time on earth is a learning experience to help us when we reach the other side.

I think my purpose is to keep evolving in my spiritual journey through space and time..while meeting and understanding other souls that I cross paths with..while at the same time trying to understand whatever my natrual curiosity calls for.
In other words.. the "source" that is responsible for for my being here has always told me that my "mission"..is to seek..to understand..to evolve, all under the laws of "LOVE".

Grammatical agreement welcome. Age: old enough to know syntax.
"What do you believe the purpose of being here is?"
Perhaps you've come down with a serious case of deeprackchopraitis? For shame.

Happiness, but not just happiness, but those moments of happiness that have the feel of newborn baby learning how to crawl and walk. To be part of the tree of life.

To learn to love ourselves and then others; a thing which seems simple but is in fact very hard to accomplish.
