What is the purpose / meaning of life?

Question

Guy13 · Accepted Answer

Life is continuous and everyone in their heart knows, “there has to be more to our Purpose than to live and survive in this hell hole 🕳…what’s on the other side⁉️“
To focus on this life is loss but to focus upon the eternality of Life is to gain what our Intelligent Designer designed for us.
Given this innate knowing every culture has their way to the “afterlife”, therefore globally it’s believed that Life continues. In my eternal living state though our body dies our soul lives and both our bodies and world are fully restored without blemish.
I am but a created entity trying to explain an Intelligent Designer’s Plan. The same Designer that designed the intricate nature of Physics. The purpose of this life is to determine who the Intelligent Designer is and live within the Designer’s Plan.

To find true love and happiness , to carry on a legacy to nurture and give , Life is a journey , we all have freewill and we all come from different paths in life and we all face trials and tribulations , realizing love only grows when 2 people remove selfishness for each other and resist temptation for each other removing selfishness from inside yourself to give to others , we can’t receive if you can’t give , you can but it won’t last forever someone isn’t going to constantly give to you without receiving in return , if they do then they are a moron lol

Some will find it to bring the next genration, some will find it in teaching the futher
Some will find it in protecting the now
Some will find it in finding love and growing old
Some will hunt it to gain fame
Some will belive its to give your self to a religion
Some will find it in leading
Some will find it in creating
Some will find it in a legacy left behind

Its a personal jurny to find your meaning, and to live by it
Its one you take alone and outhers may yet assist on the side

Whatever you want it to be.
Perhaps it’s to have a family , or maybe so that you can keep eating your most favourite treats. Maybe it’s because you still need to travel and the see the whole world. Maybe so you can see that beautiful sun rise the next morning. Or maybe it’s because your life was a gift from god and that one day you will be rewarded. Either way , there are many reasons and never stop chasing the things that keep you happy and healthy.

abc3643 · Answer

The purpose / meaning of life is to discover the purpose / meaning of like.
I am not kidding.

Look at it like this:
Imagine a little kid in school who ask "Why do I have to go to school?"
You can give all sorts of answers, but the real answer comes from this: You went through school, having done that, you now understand why you had to go through school.

The answer to this question involving life is similar to the answer I gave with school.
So, consider life as like a form of school.

WeirdoFriendly · Answer

I want to be free from myself. To let everyone and everything I care about go. I don't want to help or worry. I don't want to know or think of a solution. I just want to be FREE! I want to disappear. Sink into myself and fade away from this reality. Yes. I'm messed up in the head. No, I don't want anyone's help or love. I want to be left alone. Forgotten. I want to be no one. No name to be used. To face to be remembered. No memory to think of. Let me die in the minds of others. Let me seep away from this life. All the work and strength we put into it all. That we use from our backs. Is it even worth the pain of it?

SnowedIn · Answer

I wish I had a good answer for you. Some will say it's to glorify God. Others to be the best person you can be. And a thousand purposes in between.

I think figuring out your North Star first (whether that is a god or a thing or a [fill in the blank]) is the first step.

Berethor · Answer

Having a legacy, you are not immortal or famous, therefore having children is your legacy.

MementoMori777 · Answer

I personally think the meaning of life is to thrive together, I believe that's why God made us and it's why he made the beginning of humanity innocent and it's why love and peace is so important to spread the word of God because the word of God is like a guide to do so, let also not forget its also a way our creator speaks to us.

Tenebrae_mentis · Answer

Thy life is a riddle to bear rapture and sorrow

To listen, to suffer, to entrust unto tomorrow

In one fleeting moment from the land doth life flow

Yet in one fleeting moment for anew it doth grow

In the same fleeting moment, though must Live, Die, and Know

weysally · Answer

well, the main reason for life is to reproduce offspring so our way of life goes on, in the meantime, we work to ensure that our children are safe, so then we work rest, and play, if you're like me, will want sex, or indifferent something else,

PatriceONeal · Answer

Not happiness. Which is why so many people are "depressed". The meaning of life is struggle and to get by with the help of family friends and community. America has been driven away from that and will soon collapse its economy becuase of the massive inflation accrued by solipsism and the death of the family unit.

WellGreetingsISay · Answer

The purpose of my own life is to feel fulfilled in what I want to achieve
As for the purpose of life on this earth I believe it's just some experiment which we will either find out eventually or not at all

Cougarkitty01 · Answer

Life is about self love, acceptance and 0 expectations. Find you a higher power, learn to love yourself, accept others as they are, have no expectations and love and forgive others. Doesn't mean you have to agree or like the other person but sure makes life more peaceful. Make and spend time with your higher power, the universe or whatever and there you will find the meaning of life.

Wilson3000 · Answer

I’d say there is no purpose of life really.

When you think about it your born you go to school you’re brainwashed you then go to work you retire and die, what purpose is that?

I really have no idea why life was even created to be fair.

The meaning of life is to suffer and try to destroy each other.

Unless of course you are one of the 1% who owns everything then I’m sure they live an amazing life full of everything they could ever want.

jshm2 · Answer

To live it, so you can give your account of it, and earn your place after it.  Think about it, what were you, before you were even an itch in your fathers balls?

menina · Answer

I don't think there's a right or a wrong answer for your question. In my opinion, the meaning of life depends on how people see life and what they want from it. That is different for everyone.

Evolutionary, to reproduce. But I'm of the opinion that humans have transcended their evolutionary/animalistic ways. We are still animals, but we're more than that, too. I think everyone's purpose and meaning of life is up to them. You make your meaning and purpose.

Mine are:

Have fun

Find love

Be kind/helpful

Learn about interesting things

And a new addition, aid in the liberation of people.

Ms_Facesitter · Answer

Giving your view on it, your meaning, something worth living for.

Anonymous · Answer

To serve society. Individualism is a weird beast because on one hand it's what motivates us, and there's no denying that. But objectively, the only meaning to life is to push society forward. I would say the proof of that is that you can't feel good about yourself if you're a burden on the world. It's very hard to at least.

Our life has meaning when we serve God and use the gifts he gives us to love and help each other. When we actively choose to hurt others and don’t serve God our lives lose meaning
