Whats the purpose of life ?

Hello! NPC!(o'Θ'o)ﾉ))
You are a resident of Sims Earth made by us aliens.💻🌏
Sometimes I roll back when the data is corrupted for a long time.
At that time, it is "eternal absence proof". sorry.

And your collective wisdom defines such an answer.
(I think, therefore I am ?Cogito, ergo sum!)
You doubt everything.
So you have a question.(人Θ'o)

I hope you believe in what you believe.
(You may believe in me and become a service creature forever)

But the counsel is "don't believe in things that hurt others."
There are many humans who unknowingly create a group of "what they believe in" and threaten the lives of others.┐(´Θ`)┌Oh....

By the way, there are things I can see from the display behind me.
I may also be a creature in the box called Sim Alien.

Everyone is good friends.
Let's share delicious food together.🍰🍫🥒

The purpose of life is to give life ...purpose.

To make be something that was not there before - the sheer might of it!)

I don't think people can fully comprehend not existing after death, I certainly can't. But I do believe that's what happens, when we die our consciousness ceases to exist.

Rather than making our lives meaningless it means that the actions we take are all the more important. I believe that my purpose in life is to act to make things better in my own lifetime for myself, my family and humanity in general. As to my efficacy in achieving this, I'm not so sure. But I have to do my best to bring this about in my single lifetime.

Death maybe?

Human beings not only capable of thinking, as species we have self-awareness and ability to model situations with our participation without actually going through them physically. Some call the latter "human super-power". Maybe this is why we often have "what is the meaning" or "what if" question.

Meaning of life will be different for each of us, since we look on it through prism of our previous experience. Our decisions throughout our life makes us who we are. It is OK to feel lost. Many go through it, many find different solutions to their crisis. I am trying to find mine while listening to wise people, scientists and influencers; readying books about physiology, religion, human biology. Sometimes even fictional literature can shade some lite - we are as rational creatures as we are emotional. Call it "my personal way to find a purpose", since I have trouble to find it on my own. Perception of this world can change with one simple idea.

What is the purpose of life? Well you have to live it out to understand.
Its different for everyone...and you have to discover it for yourself. But were all here to help shape the world in our own little / large way. Though sometimes we go off-course.

I believe in science and science proves there is a God. But its degenerated into more of an effort to explain away His existence.
You're not here because some random galactic explosion happened by accident. You're too unique and intelligent to be a product of chance.
Its a lot like gravity or the shape of the earth. Admitting there is a God or not is irrelevant. He is.

Just watch The Amazing World of Gumball - episode The Question (about 10 minutes). Especially the ending says it all and I agree :)

"Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man" -Ecclesiastes 12:13

I can't imagine what is going on in peoples mind saying there is no purpose or point in life. the biggest lie people get told are that this perfectly creation of the universe is a mere coincidence. a mere luck or random. How can these completely perfectly balanced, complicated mechanisms and interactions of things be a mere coincidence?
Do you believe if you just wait long enough, give or take a couple of billion years that out of shear luck a perfectly working intricate life form is created?
My point is someone is controlling it. someone is doing it actively. like a programmer who wrote the code of a program and the program is working.
We are here to see with our senses, to be amazed of all the things that the creator have created. to be grateful that we got the chance to be part of this and to experience this. People who dont believe in this cant find any meaning in their life because they are so stubborn or have the wrong type of pride to admit the truth. Just because you are blind doesnt mean there is no light. Not everything you see seems how it is and not everything you cant see is not there.
People who are not so dismissive towards believes which hearts reject to be open minded can feel it. they can feel that there is something and that there is more after life.
Some people are just so selfcentered that they think that everything they want must be done or there is no god. that everything has to be perfect for them. easy and without struggle. it is kind of ironic. how can you expect to get rewarded if everything in life is easy.
It is like you are taking an exam and you are not prepared even though the teacher gave you all the materials you needed to pass it but you dont want to learn you dont want to follow the rules of the exam and you still expect to get an A. There is no reward without struggle. Nothing is free. you have to do something for it.
Most people have fallen to their instincts and live like animals from day to day. the only things they are thinking about is food, sleep and sex. What makes you different if you just do as an animal? We have to be better and we have to show that we are more than that.

The purpose is just creating your own purpose, life on earth is just a happy little accident, we should enjoy it and create our own meaning!

Don't wait for an afterlife, just go out and seek a meaning that will make you happy! It could be helping others, making art, writing a book, working in science, falling in love or playing as many videogames as possible. Freedom is frightening and awesome!

What doth life?

The answer to the meaning of life is very simple and has always been a simple word away.

"The meaning of life is to find meaning IN life".

The answer means that each person's unique situation allows their meaning to be different and lacks a universal answer. This is because we are all different, even those of us that come from similar backgrounds have different goals. Some may want to simply coast while others aspie to achieve. Some want families while others want to get promoted at their places of employment. But to each desire or goal, is a unique meaning in itself that may or may not seem useful to others but instead to the individual(s) who seek that goal. This is why I believe the answer is what I wrote above. By finding meaning in your life, you find the meaning of life itself.

To love God and be loved by God
To love our neighbor
Both now and forever

For me it's to handle every day problem. Day to day

As the replies in here show, there are as many perceived purposes (or lack thereof) as there are people.
So in a way, one chooses their own purpose, either through the belief that they are in control or that they are not.

Personally I don't have much sense of direction for my life and I thought it made me an outcast, and outliar, but by sharing and talking with other people, and getting interested in philosophy and self-help, I discovered that it's an issue that really permeates society.

In a way, no matter what you believe your purpose is, what life means, if anything is even worth it, well in the end it all boils down to experience, outlook and emotions. Your actions may either benefit you in the present or the future, and choosing if you prefer to remain grounded in the present pleasures (a more hedonistic point of view) or to work now to secure a future (some purpose towards life satisfaction) is entirely up to you. And being influenced and pressured by society, peers, your own mind, is just a set of additional challenges that constantly create doubt. But if you do what you truly value and you accept that not everyone will agree with you, you're on the right track to accepting yourself and living a life that is meaningful to you, regardless of the ultimate purpose of life.

To pet cats.

Whats the purpose of life ?

To become food for worms, so I might as well enjoy the time I'm not food for worms.
In fact, I'm going to go do just that right now. Fuck those worms! :3

I'm just gonna say it's to enjoy yourself.

To break over the nature and become a God. Of course, only besides the natural purposes. But isn't that an also a kind of a natural purposes?

Reproduction.

Absolutely nothing.

Most humans are too weak to admit their whole existance is just pure luck and nothing ever means anything.

100 years is nothing compared to the age of the universe. Nobody will remember you 100 years later. You're nothing, you're living for nothing, you came from nothing and you'll go to nothing.

Believe in whatever makes you happy, but it won't change the fact that your whole existance is meaningless.

There is no purpose, just enjoy your brief time in this planet and let others enjoy their time too.
