why are we here ? whats the point ? is it a higher being who put us here for a reason ? what is that reason ? I NEED TO KNOW
Your purpose in life is to pro-create if you want to that is , to live a honest and just life to the fullest of your own ability; to show compassion and be of an altruistic nature. After 52 yrs i see that to treat others in how you yourself would like to be treat is a trait that should be apart of everyones nature. Unfortunately not everyone is in touch with this inherent property due to the herd mind. With age comes wisdom and regret don't be the latter as it kills your purpose.
Meaning or purpose of life is one of those most important questions that arise in our minds every once in a while and yet we never seem to find any 'right' answers.... this indicates that probably there is no fixed or definite meaning or purpose of life that applies to everyone universally at all times.... the meaning is perhaps as dynamic as life itself. I therefore believe that instead of trying to find a unified and universal meaning of life, we just need to apply our mind to what ever seems the most important to us as of now (not momentarily, but rather on a reasonably continued basis)..... we need to be genuine in our quest and as objective as possible..... since the current meaning arises from the current situation and circumstances of life, this meaning would keep changing as we proceed in our life whereby it would be dynamically changing course as is its wont. In other words, meaning of life lies in going along the current that the life itself follows rather than trying to find a cross or a jump ahead. We also need to realize and accept that there is nothing absolute nor ultimate in our world..... everything is relative and transient. The reason I live, all said and done, lies simply in the fact that I have hope for lots of happy occasions to come in future and those happy occasions would consist only to a limited extent of achievements and success and would mostly be arising from simple, small pleasures and satisfaction generated from routines and relationships. I think life is too dynamic and transient to be given any more steadfast and significant importance than just flowing with it with as much consonance as possible.
To use energy efficiently as it heads for entropy , the more efficiently you use it the less you need a purpose and the more you like you have one , animals do not need one , as an Evolutional Goodhist I increase my energy efficiency increase goodness the most efficient state of energy , science is on to it energy driven evolution is here , they will probably not call it goodness but some new energy term , it answers all the questions we need answered.
Hey hey hey. Life didn't ask you. You asked life. Since you are so demanding and butt hurt you didn't get it handed to you in a pretty doggy bag. Why don't you invent your own.
I got that from the book Mans Search for Meaning. By Viktor Frankl.
You know what your purpose is. You just can't bring your self to do a whole bunch of structuring and creating. Because you think you should just show up and it will work out.
It would if life asked you, but life didn't.
So yeah, you gotta do EVERYTHING until you figure it out. That's your current purpose and mission in life.
Or you can just sacrifice your "life" and "purpose" and just drift.
You either have a life plan you invent or you drift. You figure it out.
We should strain for universal peace, universal happiness, universal welfare and universal prosperity. That is our main purpose in life.
Our whole body and mind is meant to serve the humanity. Thus you will get spiritual emancipation. That is the point.
Even a small doubt in negative direction may destabilize us from our moral foundation and we may misunderstand, misinterpret or misconstrue God"s real intentions.
Sorry to disappoint you but NOBODY KNOWS the answers to these questions beyond a doubt and it may always remain unknowable.
Suppose to be that we all live in peace together and enjoy life together as well. Something went wrong though. May a fix be in the works. Or hopefully with all the Good in the Universe, may all our problems be solved one day and that peace and enjoyment of life be a reality for Us All.
Purpose means effects. There are too many to number, but many agree that the comprehensive purpose of life is to achieve happiness. If you can do this than your soul may wish to be immortal, living out a happy existence on the other-side. If not, than rebirth or even the void may be what you're alloted or what you choose.
Everyone's" purpose in life is to realize God; for a Christian, it = "letting this Mind abide in you, which was also in Christ Jesus" (= Son or Daughter of God, Child of the Light).
For you specifically, it is a generally applicable list: keep healthy (moderate regular exercise, good sleep pattern, good nutrition and personal hygiene); loving and respecting (at least the offices of) parents, relatives, husband/wife, one's children; learning to earn a living in a way that is pleasing to God (right livelihood) and putting modest sums regularly to your retirement account (such done in one's teens and 20s is very effective); progress in Soul-realization (same as letting Mind abide in you).

What may be less evident: if everyone followed such, life on earth would be a lot better. Hence, if you wish to make life better, act in such ways; that is doing your part. Nurturing and championing your inner child (your soul-sense), your joy, kindness, truthfulness, and love--and healing childish fear, anxiety, etc.--and doing the same for your husband and children--and teaching them to do the same for themselves and others--is pleasing to God and true man and woman in God's image and likeness.
Respectfully, I ask, do you really need to know?
We often hear people say that religion gives us ideas about the nature of the universe and tells us we must believe them. That's not entirely true. Here's a quotation from the Buddha.
"Suppose there is a hereafter and there is a fruit, result, of deeds done well or ill. Then it is possible that at the dissolution of the body after death, I shall arise in the heavenly world, which is possessed of the state of bliss.' This is the first solace found by him.
"Suppose there is no hereafter and there is no fruit, no result, of deeds done well or ill. Yet in this world, here and now, free from hatred, free from malice, safe and sound, and happy, I keep myself.' This is the second solace found by him."
- Kalama Sutra
He's saying it's possible to live with doubt about a fundamental question such as afterlife - live contentedly.
I think a lot of people feel better if they have some evidence, even if it's not "smoking-gun" evidence. An analogy I like is the scene in It's a Wonderful Life when George stops a panic at the bank by asking people how much money they need to get them through the week. I think I can offer you enough evidence that you'll see the idea of a higher power concerned with individual men and women is possible, if not probable,
About the higher power, read "Near-Death Experience" in Wikipedia.
Since the 1970's, scientists have been studying the stories told by people who have survived heart attacks. At first, it was a matter of collecting a few stories here and there. Then it was big studies in hospitals, like the 2001 study by van Lommel, which was published in one of the world's most influential medical journals, The Lancet. In 1997, two researchers named Ring and Cooper published a study about people born blind. People blind from birth were interviewed about their near-death experiences. That people blind from birth report seeing for the first time is interesting. What is truly remarkable is that they report recognizing what they see. Congenitally blind people who acquire sight through surgery don't recognize anything they see at first, and require training in this. Expecting the congenitally blind to recognize what they see immediately is like expecting first graders in an Idaho school to read hieroglyphs from King Tut's tomb when first exposed to them.

Ask Jesus Christ to be your Lord and Saviour.
