Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
to make a strong family genetic line,
to make a decendant that WILL be remmembered!.
I used to yell at my aunts and mom for being so un-trying or whatever to be special or do something other than what is typical like cook, clean, sleep, and thought they were cluttering the already over-populized with worthless idiots, world!.
but then I realized that if someone from their decendants will make an amazing difference in the world,
then they will have been just as important for building up such a strong family genetic line ^_^
one decendant can make everyone's (in their family and who surrounded them/ifluenced them) existance worth while!.
that's the point for them,
but!.!.
I really don't want to be just another part of a stairway for someone else!.!.
my family's got enough of those!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

What makes you think you will never be remembered!?People you meet in the world will have an impact on your life, good or bad, and you will have an impact on theirs!. So no matter what someone or alot of people will remember you and will think of you now and again!.
Your legacy will be passed on to generation in your family!. Make sure you write about your life, good or bad, and if you have children, pass it on to them so they can keep it in the family!. also make something of your life!.
Life can be depressing but that is why we are here on earth, to learn!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I agree that if one of us will be remembered, then life is meaningless!. But we can be thankful that God will remember most people who have ever lived when he performs his great act of resurrection during the coming golden age (2 Peter 3:13)!. There will be a new heavens and new earth wherein dwelleth righteousness!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I think the point of life is not to be remebered but to make your mark on this world in whatever way that may be!. If you make someones day happy trust me you will be remembered!. I think no life is without purpose!. We all have something to offer this world in some way shape or form even if takes a lifetime for us to realize what that is some find out sooner others may never find out!. I believe the goal is to live through your mind and life and fufill what you desire-- and if you cant figure out what you desire then you must keep wandering and searching and just maybe!.!.!. you'll come across that one thing you desire!.!.!. and the world will quite simply never be the same!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Get over you self obsession!.
Point of life is to survive and produce!.

Not to be a computer genius, doctor or clown!.
Not to live in a relationship with no kids!.

We are here to produce as much as possible and we have the instinct to live, so we eat and work so that we can eat!.
Only reason we have friends is to save ourselves from emotional problems!. That in itself is selfish!.

Humans are selfish, self obsessed and are all here to protect ourselves and our young!.
life = survival of our own species and ourselves!.
thats why no animal ever cares if it kills another species, and they only kill there own if its for the best chance of survial for themselves!.
Eg kill the sick who cant contribute to hunting and are wasting food supplies!.

Harsh but true!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

good question, do you know this poem by Shelley who was making the same point!?

OZYMANDIAS
I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert!. Near them on the sand,
Half sunk, a shatter'd visage lies, whose frown
And wrinkled lip and sneer of cold command
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamp'd on these lifeless things,
The hand that mock'd them and the heart that fed!.
And on the pedestal these words appear:
"My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"
Nothing beside remains: round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare,
The lone and level sands stretch far awayWww@QuestionHome@Com

most of us are not forgotten we are all written down somewhere and take up space even after death!. that and things like our children and their children are here because of us and hold a part of us with them to pass on to their children!. that and the actions that we do live on foreverWww@QuestionHome@Com

It's true (agreeing with another answer) that most of us are not forgoten, but your view on the purpose of life depends on your religion!.
Some Christains believe life is like a waiting room and your waiting to go to heaven!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
