create your life purpose instead of pondering whether if there is a life purpose; and that's what i tell myself.....especially during tough times....

life is a game.
the immortal gods are so boring, hence they created the human, login and play 1. the rule of the game is they must finish the game, without any cheat. many of the people around you are mimic, created artificially to spice up your game. you don't believe? its true, that's why there's no other alien we can found. the space are universe is just a camouflage |

QUOTE(Beastboy @ May 31 2010, 04:23 PM) I scanned the PhD section for this question but didn't see it fielded anywhere. Since most philosophers are concerned about our place in the universe, Greek ancients included, I thought I'd pose it here. Yes, the purpose of your being and intelligently questioning your existence is bcoz god is within you.Do you think life is a random occurrence, we came to the top of the food chain by some fluke accident and there is no such thing as a purpose? Do you think we are two-legged lab rats and there's something out there that's observing how we play it out? Do you think because of our intellectual limitations, we are incapable of knowing our purpose in life? I know its hard not to drag in beliefs in a question like this (which shows how little things have changed since Descartes days) but do try and be as belief-neutral and logical as you can. Looking forward to your views. All our souls are sparks from the origin of life...your creator. The more you question your existence and its purpose...the more you soul evolves itself to realize the truth.. Thus a human being can consider themselves ultimately evolve once they make their life's goal to seek their origin..which is to seek your Creator. I am almost there..and Im chiseled btw |

A purpose eh? Yes for me. But its belief orientated. I don't see any reason to create purposes when there is already one i choose to believe in.

Humans are such creatures that something must have a beginning. Something that exist out of nowhere simply doesn't fit into our logic plane. The world is what you make it to be, though most philosophers can come to a consensus. Prepare for an entire life of unhappiness if you're planning to be a philosopher, or at least try to discard your human heart before it's too late...

In the past, I do wish to live with no reasons.. purpose.. alike
What I notice from the beginning of my life is; I'm being shown those good people, transgressors, being awarded for their deeds. It appears from the TV screen, medias, nearest yard and finally the the message is coming to my own soul. ------ It is getting clear to me that, life is like game.. manually surviving with skills in automated system. The human realization depends on ones tendency to follow the true and only walk through written by Creator of the world. |

Well instead of saying we're a parasite, destroying the earth and such. Look at it very simply.
You were conceived, most likely because your parents wanted children. Why did they want children? Is it because of our culture? It could be because they wanted to have the experience of raising a child, or continuing their family line, or because they wanted some help at the farm. Either way something prompted them to have a child. Once that child has matured, he has the choice of what he wants to do in life. Does he want to make money? Does he want to support his parents due to filial duty? Does he has a plan to make himself famous? Does he feel that he has nothing to contribute to this world and collapse in depression? Again all these feelings/ideas has a root (something like inception ;D) Thus everyone will create their purpose, even if that purpose is no purpose. Some will be inspired by religion, family, peers, society. Many explorers, Marco polo, David Livingston decided their purpose was to explore and spread their religion. Micheal Jordan decided he wanted to be the best basketballer which made him a legend. Barack Obama decided he wanted to change America and became the president. So, life has a purpose. It is not a common purpose that everyone can share. But ultimately it is the freedom of choice which determines our purpose. This post has been edited by DoubleU: Jul 31 2010, 01:41 AM |
