Here is my philosophy : Without God, life has no purpose, and without purpose, life has no meaning!.

“For everything, absolutely everything, above and below, visible and invisible,… everything got started in him and finds its purpose in him!.” Colossians 1 :16b

“It’s in Christ that we find out who we are and what we are living for!. Long before we first heard of Christ and got our hopes up, he had his eye on us, had design on us for glorious living, part of the overall purpose he is working out in everything and everyone!.” Ephesians 1: 11

I don think that accomplishing my own ambitions is a good purpose for life, because being successful is different than fulfilling your life’s purpose!. also we should focus on what matters most and stop being self centered!. Its not all about us and focusing on ourselves will never reveal our life’s purpose since we didn’t create ourselves, so it is impossible for us to tell what we are created for! God had created everyone for a purpose!. And so we should turn to God’s word, the bible and gain a relationship with God to discover our identity and purpose!. God planned everything before we existed!. And we don’t choose our purpose!. also, the purpose of our lives fits into a larger purpose that God designed for eternity!.

And I guess my purpose in life would be serving God as much as I could until I fully understand and discover my purpose here on earth!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

80% of humanity, the religious folks, don't need to ask the meaning of life, the church tells them!.!.!.!.the supernatural explanation!. But the rest of us can't swallow religious dogma, because there's no evidence!. Nobody can prove that there life after death, that people are tortured or rewarded after life or that there's invisible spirits running around!.

I've come to two conclusions recently:

1!. Life has no meaning
2!. Life has a million meanings!.

First, there's a certainty that death and annihilation awaits not only you, but the Earth in general!. It's an astonomical certainty that our sun will supernova and leave the earth a burnt crisp, not to mention all the other extinction level events around the corner!.

Second, the million things that give us meaning are the pleasurable experiences we can conjure up during the short period we are here on the earth, in the form of the relationships we have with our kids and other people, and the 'housekeeping' types of purposes!. What i mean by that are the curing disease, ending hunger, improving literacy, reducing crime, preventing war, helping other kinds of things!.

So the bottom line is, we only have a temporary meaning to life, to reduce pain and increase pleasure, other than that everything is lost to oblivion!.

To be or not to be!? "To be" is temporary and "not to be" is
inevitable!.!.!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

i giggled when i saw this!. people have been asking this question since the beginning of time, not to mention the beginning of Y!A!. write it in the search box along with 'meaning of life' and you should get some decent responses!.

i stand by my opinion of there being no meaning or purpose!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
