Question: What do YOU believe the purpose of your existence is!.!.!.!?
What is the object of our existence!? What is the wisdom behind the creation of man and this tremendous universe!?
What do you think!.!.!.!?
I already have an answer!.!.:
My own 'answer' is to worship Almighty God!.!.!.
"And to Allah belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth, and Allah is over all things competent!. Indeed, in the creation of the heavens and the earth and the alternation of the night and the day are signs for those of understanding-Who remember Allah while standing or sitting or [lying] on their sides and give thought to the creation of the heavens and the earth, [saying], "Our Lord, You did not create this aimlessly; exalted are You [above such a thing]; then protect us from the punishment of the Fire!." Surah 3: Ayahs 189-191

I have many theories to wat our purpose is on earth!. Mabye we were just some sort of fun game that was created for the entertainment purposes of the figure we class as "god!." Mabye our purpose is to discover how the universe was made; or though this may be a bit confuzzling: mabye the human race's purpose on earth is to actually discover our purpose (does that make sense!? Probably not lol)!. We may even simply be a very potent figment of Gods imagination - like God is having a dream and thats kind of what we are!. There are loads of theories to why we even exist; but then i figure, if we were ment to know then we wuld rite!?
As for what created us, watever it is i call it "God!." That doesn't necessarily mean however that i believe in the descriptions people have of God: like being omniscient etc!. I just merely would call watever it is that started us, even if it happens to be science, "God!."
However the three characteristics that poeple link to God - omniscient, omnipotent and omnipresent (benevolent is there too - but id dnt work with wat i am about to say lol)!. The only thing that i know of, that has these three characteristics is "time!." I no it sounds wierd - i am saying that God maybe time!. But if you think about it, time has always been here!. From before the universe was created, there was time - it was the time before the universe!. and no matter wat, time will always be here - omnipresent!. Time is also the only thing that knows of past, present and future - omniscient!. Lastly time affects and controls our lives so much!. It can stop us from doing certain things, or delay us, or cause us to fail things - omnipotent!.
=D well those are my views summarised - i could ramble for ages about this kind of stuff! Www@QuestionHome@Com
The purpose of my existence is to fulfill my goals while helping others fulfill their goals!. My goals and the goals of others are created by the environment we find ourselves in, and these goals are constantly changing!.
The purpose of humanity as a whole is to create order out of chaos through logic and art!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
Your answer is as good as any!.
Worship can be defined in many ways!.
Submission to the will or direction of something viewed as 'greater' than self is a normal condition for us!.
What that 'greater' thing is only varies in packaging and cultural language!.
To 'make your own rules' and trust nothing but what comes from within is still trusting and submitting to something 'greater' than what may be perceived as a physical self!.
The description is different but the method and intent are the same!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
Sorry, but I dislike religion so much, for this very reason!. I hate how people like the idea that we should worship something that we don't even know existed, and really isn't logical at all compared to the world we live in!. That being said, I'm not you, I don't want to be you, I don't want to control you, believe what you want, and I'll believe what I want!. My view of life is as simple as living!. I don't think we were put here to worship something, to become rich, to help each other!. Simply to live, like every other living thing!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
How very depressing for you!. That the whole reason for your life is to be on your knees chanting mumbo-jumbo to an imaginary sky-man, all based on the words of an ignorant "prophet" from the first millenium!. My purpose is so meaningful in comparison that you wouldn't understand it!. It has to do with real people and our real-life hopes and aspirations!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
I believe that God sent us here to learn and to gain a physical body, to become more like him, and to understand the differences of right and wrong!. Www@QuestionHome@Com
In God we live and move and have our [full] being!
"Under the sun, all is vanity" and pride, but in God
we have answers beyond all of our meager answers
