Question: What reason is there for life!? Have you ever just thought, "This is life!." !?
I mean, what reason is there really for life!? You live 80 years to love, laugh, and die!. Why go to school!? College!? Marry!? Have children!? Why care!? I'm not suicidal, god no, but I'm just thinking, yeah this is life, but what do I do with it!? I have dreams, I've loved, but what reason is there really!?Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
No reason at all!. Life happens while we are looking for it, looking for the reason!. Actually we are life itself - we do not "have a life"!. Not one sense of life is possible without it's opposite to give it what we try to understand as its purpose!. We drift from opposite pole to opposite pole grasping or avoiding!. We do that until one day we might find just what you said: "This is life!" "All of it!" There is nothing outside of this and nothing is missing or less or more than any other sense of it on some other day!. It is complete just as it is and full of mystery and opposites and ennui and best of all, it is not a personal thing! It is life living us, not the other way around!. Life as consciounsess "causes" us to care and to not care and to ponder the difference!. It is positively not religious!. It just is, and when it "just is", it is freedom enough to make a person smile!. Thanks for reminding me!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

I don't know about you, but the purpose of my life is to love God and grow in His grace, as he conforms me to the type of person He wants me to be in preparation for the next age in Christ's Millennium kingdom!.

Otherwise, I see no point to life!. It's just a lot of struggling and suffering as far as I can see!. Sure, we have relationships and I guess that makes life worth living, but in sum, I don't think life amounts to much without God!. You won't even exist to anyone 100 years from now!.

I'm not suicidal either!. I am just honest with myself!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

An atheist couldn't explain the reason for life!. It would just be a matter of coincidence that we are all here but read my reason, you may like it!. You could say that the reason for life is to entertain God!. He created us like an opera or a play and when He no longer finds us amusing He'll bring the curtain down!. (I don't think He'll find us not amusing as we're so diverse!.) Besides, He said He'd never destroy mankind again!. So, take a bow! You're on God's candid camera!.

We do those things to not be bored!. We need school to learn so that we can earn a living and buy things we want!. We marry and have children so we will not be lonely!. We do these things because it is within us to take action!. If we didn't, there'd be no life!. How long could you sit on the ground (there'd be no furniture or anything if no one did anything) without food and water before you die!. We do these things to survive and we can't, genetically, not survive!. You have to do with it whatever will make you happy, within the confines of the law, anyway!. Just have fun!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Life just 'is'!. But life keeps on going through our offspring and theirs and so on!. We learn so that we can teach our children because we want our children to have better lives than our own!.
Unless you have no children and want none, love none etc!. then you at least owe it to your kids to at very minimum to give them what knowledge you have acquired!.
We live to pass on what we learn!. Simple, eh!?

As far as religion, I have thought many times, most of my life in fact that there is no God, but each time I do that something happens to make me question whether it is true or not so on that I cannot definitively say there is no God!. I can only assume there is none, but I still keep asking and seeking even though I don't believe there is a God!. We might all be wrong and it's only a force we have never even thought of!. One that nobody can even begin to comprehend, but since i have never died to find out I cannot say!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Look around you!. Do you like what you see!? It's your choice what you do with it!. Don't ruin your future for you might live a few more days or a few more years but don't live for the future either!. Life is right now!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
