There is no purpose to life other than to live it to the fullest extent that you wish to live it to.  It's like what is my destiny?  You won't know what the purpose of life is until you figure out what it is for yourself.  GL

Each person's life is their own. What your life is about is an adventure only you can explore. Each of us must seek this answer in our own way. There is a purpose for everyone whether it be grand or mundane, there is an answer to this question. Search for it, find it and live it!

Life – it has a meaning and loving purpose - you just have to find your purpose and live it.\n\nI believe every person is here for a definite purpose. Each person is special and valuable; that refers to me, you, your family, friends, in fact everybody! There is a loving plan for each of our lives here on earth and there is no such thing as coincidence. I don't believe that anything in life happens by chance and that every aspect of our lives points to something deeper.\n\nAs human beings, we all ask the question: Who am I? Who am I meant to become? What is my value or destiny as a human being? Who will become for me the model of my humanity? Pope John Paul II told us that ultimately JESUS CHRIST IS THE ANSWER to these questions. Christ is the living blueprint and pattern for our humanity. Jesus Christ reveals our meaning to us.\n\nThus Pope John Paul II, quoting Vatican II in his Redeemer of the Human Race, wrote: "Christ...fully reveals man to himself and brings to light his most high calling." "In Christ and through Christ," the pope added, all are enabled to come to "full awareness of their dignity...and of the meaning of their existence."\n\nYou need to decide now to live for God rather than for yourself. You spend your life on Earth preparing yourself (as best you can) for death. I don't see death as a scary, negative experience, but birth into a bliss filled eternal life with God. I believe that this is something you have to consciously choose or not during your life on earth. \n\nThe meaning of life is for us to discover that we are true children of an infinitely loving and merciful God, to find out what our responsibilities are to our Creator, and to fulfill those responsibilities. Each of us is called to affirm, accept and develop the talents God has given us.

the purpose of human life hmmm..even i wonder that...well acc. to our philosophy there are 8400000 species of living forms on earth...of which only the human form has the ability to perform an action or "karma" so we have been given this chance to liberate our souls or thoughts whatever u may call it "aham" or "I".... to get rid from the cycle of birth and rebirth ...that's the purpose...how we got here....coz the universe if u look at it as a single entity...it decided somehow to divide and keep dividing...that's how we were born....when we die nothing great really happens except that it depends on ur actions and the extent to which u have reined in or let loose ur thoughts...it really depends on "U" ...death is just a door to another realm of existence....is there a god...mmmmm no...and yes....a god in the physical sense no ... and god as in the whole universe (including YOU) as a single entity ...that's god...hip hop is good at times for me :) well neither the 50 cents nor the game for me...i'm indian :) before we were born .... we were souls fighting with other souls to grab that oppurtunity of human birth when the seed was laid....the universe is infinte ...no one knows the size ....not even god.....something like ...do u know how good can u be????....:) \n\nhope this answers at least some of ur doubts...

The purpose of life is to serve God.

If you ask any question, with the word 'why', no answer that you will get, will completely answer that question. So, to get a complete answer, you must ask another 'why' question. Ultimately, after many tedious questions, the ultimate answer to your original question, will be 'God'.\n\nexample; Why do we eat? To live. Why do we live? To procreate. Why do we procreate? To continue human life. Why should we continue life?...To please God.\n\nGod is the only meaning to life.

Obviously each person needs to find that out for themselves.  The only place to find one's purpose is in oneself.\n\nIf you're looking for a popular answer, "To leave the world better off than when you entered it."

Life is being or existing in a constant state of mind and body.  The purpose of life varies based upon beliefs.  To some it is to be judged, to others it is to become one with the world, and for others life has no purpose, they exist and do the best they can.

Life is realization of desire (or dreams).\n\n Purpose of Life is not so simple that can be described in single word or single sentence. It varies from person to person, based on his environment, personal belief etc.\n\n But, the most common thing is, the entire human community is revolving around DESIRE. Desire to win, Desire for fame, Desire to ask question, Desire to answer, Desire to invent, Desire to discover, Desire to be ascetic, Desire to be useful, Desire to help others, Desire to gratify oneself, etc.\n Every human being born in this world is having desire and their living is to fulfill this desire.

Hello,\nThis is a quite simple question to answer, but a quite difficult answer to accept. There is no purpose. Life simply is. We are the successful (by)product of the reproductive fitness of our ancestors and chance. \n\nAccepting that life simply is and that there is no great thrust or drive toward progress or perfectability makes many people very anxious. \n\nAngst, the best term derived from German, to describe this individual anxiety; existentialism, the largely French school of thought typified by Camus and Sartre (as well as others), tries to exemplify individual human happiness in the face of the purposelessness of individual existence and in light of the fact that the universe has no meaning. \n\nIf you find my response depressing, I recommend the Douglas Adams classic "The Hitchiker's Galaxy" in which he comically portrayed the absurdity of life in a myriad of possibile worlds.\n\nAlex
