There are so many spammers in CT these days...lol.
Anyway, a partial part of the point of life (not even arguable from ANY viewpoint) is to make decisions based on a pool of possible decisions and to produce outcomes which result from those decisions. You then weigh those outcomes and decide whether or not to replicate those actions or revise those actions based on the observed consequences. The meaning of life beyond this simple definition sort of differs from person to person: -some believe it is to enjoy oneself -some believe it is to glorify our creator -some believe it is to gain as much knowledge and understanding as possible about observable phenomenon -some believe it is to reproduce -some believe it is to prolong the health of our species or planet, etc. -etc. |

Their problem for getting themselves in the hole, still most are not helpless. Life isn't cut and dry. Most have potential to enjoy life in their own way. Heck I don't know, maybe they like pain and get enjoyment out of it. Whatever floats your boat. |

But what about the kids? How would their life be made better when their mom suddenly goes traveling bohemian on them and leaves on a quest to make her life better? Your advice to them is to basically shut up, get over it, and move on in an attempt to make life more enjoyable. Point made. |

Certain humans feel as though they are satisfied with simply obtaining their own goals. I don't feel that way at all. I want to believe that there is more to life than suffering by having the same generic standards over and over again. I want people to be able to live for ever so that we don't worry about death or worry about a purpose in life unless it hits us. I feel as though such an idea is possible, but any type of deep purpose such as obeying a god or serving something you have no idea is beyond the capabilities of humans. I believe that the true purpose of humans still has yet to come (and any complete assumptions for such a purpose is skipping the chapters of life that has never happened yet), but I don't want to jump to conclusions that such a reason exists. This purpose might have something to do with outside forces such as a god, but I know that all the decent people in society would work togather instead of argue in such a time.

I already see, your view on things though. The sacrificial(hero) personality. Hey! whatever you want to do with your life, it is yours after all. If you enjoy being the donkey, live it! ;p |

*shrugs* I'm not going to tell the citizens of Rwanda to 'just deal with it'. Sorry. When I make generalizations about the purpose of life, I try not to exclude anyone who's not, y'know, inapplicable to my incorrect statement. If I wanted discussion like that, I'd leave a comment on the myspace page of someone who was on Laguna Beach or The OC.

Wow, lots of bans for spam in CT getting thrown around.
I suggest y'all clean up your acts. Anyway. The purpose of life? That's an easy one. It's to efficiently degrade the thermal gradient between the solar radiation and the cold of space. --Guido http://andy.mikee385.com |

We live to die.
Anything that happens in between is a bonus.

The point of this life is to prepare for the next one through knowledge and experience.

If the purpose of life is to die, then why live in the first place? Non-life can theoretically exist infinitely, while life is always finite, right? so....necessitating life so that non-life can result as a purpose is like saying the purpose of a chair is to become a tree, even though it was already something that wasn't a chair (a tree) before and wouldn't need to be converted to a chair in the first place.

The phrase "purpose of life" is a non-sequitor because in order for your life to have a purpose, there has to be some specific greater cause around which you are living, and I'm not prepared to accept that.
As Kilroy said, life is what you make it. Nothing more, nothing less. |

How is that a greater cause that you were put here to serve? You coincidentally -follow- it simply by being a thing, but it has no active force to have put humans here for the purpose of following it.
