I want you to really think long and hard before you answer....and do so with an open heart....


YOU ARE BORN

YOU GROW

AND GROW

GO TO SCHOOL

AND LEARN

YOU GRADUATE

AND GET A JOB

YOU ACCUMULATE STUFF

GET MARRIED

ACCUMULATE MORE STUFF

HAVE KIDS

AND DIE


Could this possibly be all there is to life.


And if so what is the purpose?

And if not what is the purpose?

is there really a purpose to life? i mean alot of us believe there is, but who's to say that there actually is, ya know?

I think the purpose is to learn the difference between you're and your...after that its all easy street as far as Im concerned.

the only thing we have over animals, is that we all know that we will die.

And your name fits perfect for this what_is_life....

Well I would hope there is way more to it then just what I stated. And that doesn't take away the beauty of all that we do in our lives. It just seems to me....that there is more......to come.


hmmmmmm

you forgot all the joyous and happy events in between , let alone all the detours we take in life to grow to who we all are today

That's right, the purpose. I was brought up to believe that I was placed here for a reson. That reason is to contribute to the common good. If you get you give back. No matter who you are or what you do, make that little piece of the world and life you come in contact with a better place than before.

Then find a quiet place to have a cold beer!

This is all a learning experience. Being succesful by accumulatng stuff like money, toys, or a big house has nothing to do with the big picture.

That is so interesting a thought,..

This is just my take,..

Life is about growth of the spirit,.

for those of us who are blessed to be born,..

to learn,..

to work,..

to love,.

and to create our very own families,..

are blessed indeed,..

the rest is just brocolli,..


may

And if so what is the purpose?

And if not what is the purpose?

And In-between all the above, we give,, we guide, we learn, we struggle,,We live as if it were are last day,, we share our hearts and souls,,

We breed kindness We accept in our Spirits that we are good and strive to make each day better than the day before,,,

We sit ponder, wonder, worry, and laugh till we cry,,,

Then we rest,,, empty our spirit upon the Earth,, releasing our Soul to Flower and Blossom upon the skies

what do you think life is about ? cause every soul has it`s own destiny,..it`s a seed that grows inside you since the beginning of time

And for what? I am all for learning and especially from past mistakes....but like I said...really think hard before you answer...because the ending is still the same. Which leads me to believe that their are greater things after this....

well ya and in order to get the greastest gift you have to be born and go through it all ,, so we are all the chosen ones if we want ot be ...what a reward

the ending is just the beginning,..

Isn't that enough?

Sheesh! You give people a really cool existence with lots of family and friends and they want more???

Sounds like spoiled brats to me.



The purpose if to enjoy it.



If there is an ulterior motive for life you'll probably be better off not knowing what it is anyway.

I have a cousin who is always posing questions like this. He argues that there must be something more to life than just life itself. He argues that there must be a heaven to that makes life worth living. I might add too that this fellow is quite well off financially. He has a really nice wife, and three great children who have all grown up to become successful in their own right. He has a cushy job teaching philosophy at a college.

Yet in spite of all this life isn't "good enough", he still thinks that it would all be meaningless if there isn't something more to it.

Where's the rolling eye icon? I kneed one really bad right now!

I'll never figure people like this out. They have everything anyone could ever dream of and it isn't enough. That's because they think they are going to die when their body dies. Silly people!

If life needs something bigger in order to make it more meaningful, then Heaven would need something bigger to make it meaningful, and so on,… ad infinitum,

People are so afraid of dying. Can't they see that dying is impossible???

It's as clear as the nose on your face. But then again, you probably can't see that either without the aid of a mirror.

All you need is a spiritual mirror so you can see your true essence, then you'd know that you are eternal.

Unfortunately I can't hand you one. There is no such physical device. You can only find it in your spirit. But once you know your spirit then you'll no longer need the mirror.

Don't worry about death. It’s not the nemesis it appears to be.

There was never a time when you were naught, and there will never be a time when you will cease to exist.

Time itself is but a illusion.

You know it makes me think is there and ending or a beginning for life is like a never ending circle. We are born, we grow, we live, we die, then we are born again.

But it is all the things that we do while we are alive that makes a difference when we die!

Totally agree Kristi about the while were alive and what we do part.......the born again......not so much......just for me. This is why I believe that through Christ we will have everlasting life after this one.

We live and breathe on the leading edge of creation itself. People who dream of tomorrow or live in the past waste their precious moment of Now.

The breath you take, the time you spend, the world you see, the things you do and feel and experience. The choices you make, the joy and the sorrow. The adventure of life is not enough for you?

This is the greatest adventure and greatest joy of all. Life itself. Learning to live and love and create. We live many lives and life itself is the adventure.

The purpose of life is to find joy.
