Whats The Point Of Life?

Whats the point of life?

[Chris-3DT]

There is no naturally given sense in life as far as I can tell. No purpose given by a supposed God either, other than going to heaven, but that is a goal of death not of life.

So, in the end you can only do like Camus' Sysiphos. As we know S. was sentenced to push a rock up a mountain, as soon as he would reach the top the rock would roll back to the foot of the mountain. Camus' S. gives himself the purpose in life to push this pebble up the flank of the mountain. Because he gave this purpose to himself he could live a satisfied life. Satisfaction and personal happiness are probably the only things we can look for.

The path we walk to achieve this satisfaction is different for everyone (reiligious, hedonistic, whatever)

Definition: The object toward which one strives or for which something exists; an aim or a goal

Everybody's aim or goal is different. Thats why Chris's statement is probably most accurate. Life was not an option, it was a gift and with it, it is out duty to have goals and attempt to reach them. However there is more to like than determination, there are also pleasure principles. Some of these can be placed in the same category as the goals we have but this isn't alway so.

Basically the point of life is to live it. Through the good times and bad it is what it is. To experience all the different emotions and stages in life is all part of living life and in my opinion thats our purpose.

the Germans have a saying hat fits quite nicely: Der Weg ist das Ziel.

The road is the goal.

The purpose of life is to make a difference.
If you effect the outcome of something or someone then your life will have served a purpose.

I'll explain later

i chose to be

for me Buonarroti is closest to my reason for living. but then not everyone can do that..

The road is the goal

is good too

lol at Dhin

The purpose of life is, as Chris said, to do stuff, to live life, set goals. My idea of the purpose of life (witholding all religeous stuff, cuz I don' wanna start a big discussion) is to have a blast, do loads of stuff (one of my goals is to fly a 747), be good at a lot of stuff, think alot, and raise kids.

yup.

^ I like that one too

zergling, that's what I like to hear, often people have these dreams to have some top job or something but then I hear you say

"My idea of the purpose of life is to have a blast (exactly), do loads of stuff (one of my goals is to fly a 747), be good at a lot of stuff, think alot, and raise kids."

that's really cool that you have a goal of flying a boeing haha and "think a lot", well haven't hear that before either but makes sense I guess

and that german saying was right on

[A*HOSNY]

You will never know the point of life
until you know your God
No one here will help you cause most of them do not know
i was expecting them to say we do not know
but they make you going astray
So take it serious and search about God by yourself cause the topic is very important !
look around you be honest and i'm sure you will find him and then you will know the point of life immediately

[claWda]

you won't get anywhere in life by being honest, even I've experienced that and I'm only 18, as for the search for god, well, god has never done anything for me so I guess he can search for me, tell me how cool he is and what he can do for me, then I MIGHT listen

The Answer:
28: 77. Verily, Qarun was of the people of Moses, but he behaved tyrannical towards them. And WE had given him treasures of hoarded wealth so much that the keys there of would have weighed down a party of strong men. When his people said to him, `Exult not, surely ALLAH loves not those who exult;
28: 78. `And seek, in that which ALLAH has given thee, the Home of the Hereafter; and neglect not thy lot in this world; and do good to others as ALLAH has done good to thee; And seek not to create mischief in the land. Verily, ALLAH loves not those who create mischief;'
28: 79. He said, `All this has been given to me because of the knowledge I possess.' Did he not know that ALLAH had destroyed before him generations that were mightier than he and greater in riches ? And the guilty shall not be asked to offer an explanation of their sins.
28: 80. So he went forth before his people in all his pomp. Those who were desirous of the life of this world said, `Would that we had the like of what Qarun has been given ! Truly, he is the master of great fortune.'
28: 81. But those who had been given knowledge said, `Woe unto you, ALLAH's reward is best for those who believe and do good works; and it shall be granted to no one except those who are steadfast.'
28: 82. Then WE caused the earth to swallow him up and his dwelling; And he had no party to help him against ALLAH, nor was he of those who can defend themselves.
28: 83. And those who had coveted his position the day before began to say, `Ruin seize thee ! it is indeed ALLAH Who enlarges the provisions for such of HIS servants as HE pleases and straitens it for whom HE pleases. Had not ALLAH been gracious to us, HE would have caused it to swallow us up also. Ah ! the ungrateful never prosper.'
28: 84. This is the home of the Hereafter. WE give it to those who seek not self-exaltation in the earth, nor corruption. And the good end is for the righteous. (sura 28)

We have in egypt the lake that his palace was on it now it's under it,It called Qarun lake

And finally about God gifts to you
look how much they are too much
You can(LISTEN,SEE,TALK,UNDERSTAND,THINK,TASTE,FEEL,SM ELL,
WALK,SLEEP,PLAY,STUDY,EAT,DRINK,etc...)
Being(HEALTHY,IN A GOOD SHAPE,LOOK NICE)
you have(ALL ORGANS IN YOUR BODY COMPLETE)
The ability to (LEARN NEW THINGS IN LIFE+You can memorize them)
but the most thing that i see that it's the biggest gift from God
is that you are EXIST IN THIS WORLD
do not you ever thikk that you might not born from the beginig

i do not remmember all of the now cause god say :
If you try to count how much gifts god give to you you can not
And remember i only said what you have in your self do not
speak about what's around you like your money or familey or work

Next...
