Right now being a mom..which I love!

I don't think you ever really get to know what your purpose is in life.

But I don't believe in free will either, I believe that everything was pre-destined.

The things that happen in your life, make you who you are, stronger or weaker. Whichever that happens to be. Every step takes you to the next step, and closer to your destiny. Whatever that may be.

Alot like Chaos effect. There is so much order in choas, and so much chaos in order.

Are we here for a purpose?
Someone once told me YES...you may not ever see it or feel it. You may be the descendants of doctors or lawyers or future presidents...ect. You may be somewhere sometime and do something so insignificate ...that it may change someones life for the better ...that could be your purpose .

Everything happens for a reason?
For me this one is hard to accept as I lost my mother this past year to cancer...what is the reason for that???
The same person told me....7 people we know quit smoking because of her illness...4 out of these people have children that now will no longer be exposed to cig smoke in their homes...all 7 of these people are closer now then they have ever been in their lives. They are all family. Was that the reason?

Tough one. I believe everything happens just the way it is suppose to. Is that the same as everything happening for a reason? I have often wondered if God knows the limits of our days and I believe he does although like someone else said...about drive-by shootings etc.....accidents happen, disease happens..."time and chance happen to us all".

It's a hard lesson to learn and often a difficult one to accept.

ill have to agree on that not everything has a purpose. **** happens and sometimes there is nothing we can do about it or we will ever understand it. It's life and we have to take things as they come wether we like it or not.

As for the the special purpose. I do agree, some of us may not ever find out what it is and i'm one of them that haven't found what it is yet. But one thin g i do know. being on here and helping people in different ways and sometimes never hearing about it by just being me. I can look at that a kinda being a special purpose. I dunno but, it's somthing to hang on to

Yes, we have a purpose, at the very least and basically to help one another.

Yes, everything does happen for a reason.

My purpose is to be happy here on earth.

I think that's what God wants.

He wanted Adam and Eve to be happy in the garden and just enjoy each other and their beautiful surroundings.

That's what I want, a nice girl to spend my time with and enjoy life on this beautiful earth.

Well, would personally say yes, we all have a purpose and things do happen for a reason.

My purpose seems pretty simple. God has all the 'saintly' people who do various forms of 'good things' for him. But just as roses have thorns, God has me. Don't pay attention, or get careless around the roses, ya get pricked.

Now, I don't believe EVERYTHING is pre-destined, but I think a few things are. And some days - I just feel like a sh*t magnet!

Its the lesson you learn from the experience. Until you learn the lesson it will continue. Nothing changes if nothing changes.

to care for others

if my purpose is living for God ... i think i failed

Which God?

Ooooh, I like these questions!

Yes, I most definitely have a purpose. I know what it is. I can't tell you what it is though. That would be cheating.

And yes, everything happens for a reason too. We may not know what the reason is. We may never know what the reason is. But there is a reason. If whatever it is didn't happen...well, we're talking alternate realities and stuff. Butterfly Effect.

Just my nickel.

Everything happens because of choices we made in the past, typically anyway. Rather odd to live for God, as in the word itself cannot be fully proven that and why not live for yourself? My purpose...generally it is to live, pro-create, and die. We are no different than animals, we just think that.

My purpose is to make sure my son grows up great and knows his porpose in life...

my purpose?????



seems to be....


to piss folks off.......














I seem to be good at it.............

keep myself alive

Everything happens for a reason, weather you think so or not. There is a perpose for you being but thats getting into religon and really don't think you want to go there with me. Lets just say that i'm not liveing the way i was raised and i'll stop there.

Makes me think of Steve Martin in The Jerk. "Today I found out what my special purpose is for."

Agnostics don't "half believe" in anything. The basic tenet of agnosticism is that you really can't know the truth of religion or God. The topic is "purpose". Many people derive their purpose from religion; or they feel an unseen, godly hand is directing their lives. In that context, a mention of one's agnosticism is perfectly apropos.
