    You have two choices.

    1. The circle of life, mate, breed, die. Which all the animals do.

    2. Rise above your emotions and be more.

    Life has no centre so there is no point but Work is Worship. Ambition in life create purpose with ego. Life just one moment and there is no time to make purpose. But if u are living in past or future than u have to make a purpose that is seeing just one corner of life and blind to other three corners.

    Dont dwell about the existence of god because honestly NOONE knows about it no matter how much some people tend to claim to... Life is about the here and now so dont look forward to an after-life because u never know if there is one. Do everything you've ever wanted. If you have a Goal I suggest you follow it however try not to make it an impossible one. Be a good person, find someone who you Love and loves you for who you are, have children, settle down, get a good job, excpect the worst, understand that some people are Lucky and some people arent as lucky as others. Learn as much as you can about our world and its contents. spread your knowledge and wisdom to your children.

    There isn't really any point unless we make one for our time here. To help others is some peoples reason for living and makes them happy by seeing others happy. You have to find your own purpose in life and try to live well. We are creatures of many passions and most of us are driven to pursue those passions. For the most part, life is ultimately about being happy.

    Life is a great mystery and many of us are unable to get at its meaning or real purpose.

    It is indeed complex and always debatable. There is no one definite answer and every person will have his own interpretation which is different at various stages of his life. But since we had been endowed with this precious gift of life, we might as well make the most of it, and enjoy every moment along the journey, maintaining our good sense and trying to live as long as we can. Om Shanti!

    their really is no central point or reason, just take the time that has been given to you and do whatever it is that will make you happy. since life has no real point then the possibilities of what you could be doing right now are endless, its just a matter of getting up and doing it.

    Basically breath, eat, drink, bathroom, reproduce.

    Then comes clothing and shelter.

    Next comes school and/or job; career

    Followed by bills, bills, and more bills.

    The fun reasons for living include hobbies, vacation, and gym.
