Our purpose of life, is the purpose to create our own purpose....Free will

What is the purpose of liver, heart or kidney??? Thinking that your life had a fixed purpose or destiny like our heart and kidney would be absurb and show some poverty on how you look at life.


Even if you believe someone like god who keow your purpose does not equate that you can just do whatever without thinking and expecting whatever you do is a purpose. You still need to create your own purpose of life.

To some extend we agree that we are somehow a playing cards to others or external force, but sometimes we too are capable to play the cards. That's call manipulation. Science, politics etcc.


A friend once ask me what can you do with a marketing and management or philosophy degree, why not accountancy?? Sometimes the reason people pick a course like engineering or accountancy is because of the certainty which it can provide. People don't like to hear u can do whatever you wan with that degree. That is a fact in life.

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.

I guess Ts is referring to Human instead of Animal....And i was not insulting you, but rather highlighting the point of free will. I was trying to joke and i guess i fail to do so.

What is the point of the purpose of knowing the purpose. I don't even think the animal or plant are aware of what they are doing or intended to.

Purpose of life is as simple as it is, From A to B....The question we should ask is rather how u live with it...The journey

The reason why people ask the purpose of life is due to the fact that the uncontrollable factor in life such as u born in a poor family. But does that suppose to lead to a conclusion that life in uncontrollable and unpredictable?? By nature we can't fly, more people should be dead in tsunami or earthquake. But it seem mankind had always found a way to control their fate. By destiny every man will die when they get old, but one day this might be undo.

Our direct purpose of life is of cause eat, sleep, sex, work and reproduce. But the bigger purpose of life that we always ponder as intelligence creature is depend on how we decide and live it.

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

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.
