I was like you once. Then I got 20 points of infractions.
 
TB
Let's not turn this into another religion debate thread, please.

The question had a bit of rhetoricalness sprinkled in it. So really I agree with Shem's post.
 
To answer the thread title; I think it's, to get kids, and die. Though, I don't know.
 
Purpose of Life? I asked myself this question before too, and I came up with this answer but nothing else.
To live happy and enjoy it while it lasts :p
 
The purpose of life is living itself.
 
Congratulations on digging up a 10 year old thread. Did you really need to bring up an old, forgotten thread just to say that?
Thank you, brought it up not just to say that but to see what are people's views on the subject. I've been a little lost lately so I'm trying to see what people have to say regarding life. Surely there must be some change after 10 years.

I was expecting a thread like this to be as popular as the God Thread, but it seems not.
 
I think the purpose of life is to try to achieve your potential and to have as much fun along the way as possible. You never can know when the journey will end, but at the same time you never know how long it can go for... so always plan for a long life, but enjoy the time you have in case it ends.... err... early...

Thats what i try to do.

I have long term goals, but at the same time I try to thoroughly enjoy the present without sacrificing the long term.... just in case.
 
I don't think we have a set purpose. Nature intended for us to have sex and to multiply.

Everything else that has come about through evolution is just a massive bonus for the human race. We can appreciate things that most other living things cannot. So I guess the purpose of life is to really appreciate that you are here at all.
 
I believe that the meaning of life is to know God.

well what do you do once you know Him ??


The purpose of life is living itself.

YES


.. but how...?? like Al Capone or Mother Theresa ?

I agree with you... because Small Fryz always have the answer to everything...

simply as you said...

i will add to everyone's ideas the following:

Live to help others when you can, to raise chidren and teach them all you know, save them time, and try to die as happy as you can :)

done.
 
Well most species purpose of life is to reproduce so I would say it would be the same for us.
 
The purpose of life is to reproduce and die. Not to keen on death.
 
Whats the purpose of having a purpose?

One simply cannot answer a question by another question...

especially :

"What is the purpose of Life?"
"What's the purpose of having a purpose?"

so assuming there are no purpose in Life...
do you need to live then ?

Does the ant in the amazon ask such question?
Does the chimpazee in your local zoo ask such question?

Why do we need to ask this question?

what am i doing here in front of a computer typing to strangers?

what am i supposed to do next???

feed myself ??
but why?

why continue to live ??


Sex??

Must have sex tonight ....

why tonight ??

why not now??


and then what ???

more sex or more food??

but once the money runs out...

dont i need to work??
but i got no clothes??

so i need money again to buy clothes??
why do we use money ??

:dunce:

What's the purpose of life ?? please someone tell me quick...

give me a cheat cheat !!!

where can i cut corners??
what is my aim??

but "Michael88" tells me "why do we need aim"??

i dont know ???

what am i still doing here ??

fcuk
 
For me, the purpose is enjoying it while it lasts and only that. No reproduction to me. :D
 
Already been stated previously, our only actual purpose is to reproduce. That's it. Have sex, keep humans from going extinct. End of story. The end. Bye bye!
 
Well, biology, procreation, blah blah blah....

Point is to be happy. If you're not happy, you're doing it wrong.

Make yourself happy.
 
I think the meaning itself, is not really a definitive answer, but more of a personal idea.[/yuppie]
 
Look, here he is!
