What is the purpose of life?

To make a difference and not judge other people. More specifically, people with tattoos. Hmm.

Consider this Mark, perhaps the Universe's purpose is to produce as many intelligent species as possible like an incubator. Perhaps, the Universe has absolutely no purpose at all. It's just some garbage left over from something that happened a long long time ago, and we're just here cause some random events happened that enabled us to spawn, and our existence is totally meaningless..whatever it is, you're here and you might as well figure out to a way to make the best of it. You don't have to mate or breed and who knows, if you're young enough and loaded, you may be able to stave off death for quite awhile too. When I was 20 I made out my 1st bucket list...kept me busy for 25 years..perhaps you might try that. Two things on my 1st list were to explore the American West and travel all over the World..it was fun and fulfilling. If you're not so young try doing something totally outrageous. When I was in my mid-sixties, I sold everything in the States and found a wonderful Island. My life became much more worthwhile being with these wonderful people than I could have ever imagined...good luck

We all have our reasons for being. Just equate life with a television program...What's the purpose of certain shows? To educate, to entertain, to discover, to debate, to make money, etc. Just like a TV program has different purposes depending on its audience, a life has a different purpose depending on each soul. Where would you find the purpose for someone watching a TV program? Well, that's easy. You ask the viewer his/her reason for watching. Just ask yourself, what is the reason you don't kill yourself everyday? Surely there's an answer in there somewhere.

If this question had a tangible answer the search will stop, and without search there will be no realization...!

I suggest you read the following books if interested:

'A New Earth' by Eckhart Tolle http://books.google.com/books/about/A_New_Earth.ht...

'The Tibetan Art Of Positive Thinking' by Christopher Hansard http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Tibetan-Art-Positive-T...

I hope you'll find YOUR answer. :]

The true meaning of human life is...... Self Realization....

Love /hate, Good/evil, happiness/sorrow, positive/ negative, virtue/sin, soul/ body, heaven /hell.. are the creations of God ...So, by pure faith in God we can understand our eternal nature... which relates to our soul as our soul is Part and Parcel of ... Supreme Soul "God"..

And sometimes, God test us that How much we trust on HIM, how much we Love Him....in specific situation.Do you really think.. God feels happiness when we suffer pain? Not at all. But He expect something from us.... that is "Pure love in Pure Soul"....

Actually, we are spiritual souls but we are in human body.. we are from spiritual world. God has sent us on the earth...only for self realization.. as our souls are not as pure as, they have to be... So, God has given us human life where our body feels happiness as well as suffers pain. Therefore, we souls are here... to achieve... the level of purity..... To become pure soul.... we should make an effort to understand the deeper meaning of unconditional love for all living beings.... in every situation....

Moreover, the eternal nature of our soul is to Love God.... as our soul is the Part and Parcel of Supreme Soul "God"...

Read Bhagavad Gita deeply..... for every answer about Human life and Eternal Life...
