The Purpose of Life
 
The Purpose of Life
'Why do we eat?' 'Why do we sleep?' 'Why do we work?' The answers
we would get to these questions would be similar. 'I eat to live.'
'I sleep to rest.' 'I work to support myself and my family.' But
when it comes to what the purpose of life is, people are confused. We
see their confusion by the type of answers we receive. Youths may
say, "I live for booze and bikinis." The middle aged professional
might say, "I live to save enough for a comfortable retirement." The
old man would probably say, "I've been asking why I'm here most of my
life. If there's a purpose, I don't care anymore." And perhaps the
most common answer will be, "I really don't know!"
How, then, do you discover the purpose of life?

Who says it has any purpose whatsoever?

Purpose is a human invention.

Don't be so anthropcentric.

Mine hasn't spoken to me for decades. (Mind you he died some 30 years
ago.)

I always think.


I wish I could remember to now and again.

Whatever I do just to make me happy, that is the life!


That's a recipe for a selfish life. Is that why China is in such
turmoil?

quite, life has no purpose. It is upto each of us to give our lives
purpose. I wouldnt consider joining up to a bloodthirsty religious
organisation to be the best of purposes.

Well, it propagates the gene pool

Although you do have to be careful to differentiate between normal
people (of whatever religious persuasion) and the nutters

My wife is Moslem, to the best of my knowledge, she hasn't actually
declared war on anybody yet
