The purpose of animal or plant is so obvious....What a ridiciously question that is

The purpose of my dog is to eat, sleep, bark, f***, run and die..that's all
Human can be like animal too. Eat, sleep, work, f***, steal, study, and much more.

why?

to ask for a purpose is to know the 'why'.

It is through such wonder and thinking that gave rise to innovation or do you prefer we live like animal instead.

My answer: no arising thought. No arising, no falling.
I don't see a purpose, and I don't see not a purpose.

Purpose is meant for those who want to find it. Everybody have different purpose. "his" might not be same with "her" purpose. So, why care?

and thus u proceed to miss the point. there is no 'his' purpose 'her' purpose. That would still be rooted in the ego. and if we want to talk philosophically, the ego is a very shallow basis to have a conversation about.

there is no "his" or "her", there is no "you" and "me"...

so back to the question, purpose?

Thus I said, I don't see "purpose" as it is... no need to "create" purpose and start to think about "purpose"...

err then what you expect human to do? life was basically to survive and reproduce (since you want your species to live forever). it's implanted in all living organism! (try stop yourself from breathing and see you react!) now that's purpose of life =)

so basically what their **** doing is perfectly sensible. without that you might not even exist!

there is a reason why the topic isnt about "your purpose", rather...its asking about life's purpose...as a whole. You need to bring awareness above your association with the ego in order to understand the implication of such topic. Yes, unless one can bring a definative argument to make humans special, to even discuss about purposes of humans is a question rooted in the ego. Hence my question....what is the purpose of plants and animals. there in lies the answer.
