Other than fulfilling the chemical obligation created at conception, I personally believe there is no purpose, other than what you make of it. Parents screw, embryos form, infants crawl, children run, teens do what teens do, become adults and waste away into midlife, and barring an accidental death, we assume room temperature in our golden years, worn out and down by the concerns of being alive, all while searching for meaning in the oddest places. In between, life is whatever you want it to be. There is no set purpose.
You decide for yourself what the meaning of life is.
No one else can, that’s a question that only you can answer.
It doesn’t matter if you’re right or wrong according to others, those assholes don’t matter. Only your opinion matters.
So don’t ask a bunch of dipshits, figure it out for yourself.
The purpose of life.
From a biological view I would say procreation. And protecting our offspring.
From a spiritual view I think the purpose of life is to teach others respect for the earth and each other.
And the little person in my mind views the purpose of life as the opportunity to enjoy the diversity of life. To use the senses to experience every available activity.
In essence, I see no practical purpose except the continuation of our existence. So we can use up resources and eventually destroy ourselves.
Well my friend, that’s one of biggest questions of alltime. If you want to answer it in one piece there are lots of “ism”s in philosophy and the fun fact is that people in different times of their lives become one ism without knowing about it.
There are Three types to answer this question:
1. Answering it immediatly: which can take your life and make you depressed or make you the happiest man or woman on earth it which depends on your characteristics. Philosophies have done this. Isms like : deism, theism, nihilism, existancialism and etc. I said immedialty because the time taken to answer it is so tiny, compared to the time that actually takes to truely answer it.
( no i haven’t forgotten Philosophy of Science. that’s something else.)
2. Answering the question by giving an idea about the question itself: this way is the best way to answer it right now. Neither it kills you nor makes you the happiest person. How happy you are is your choice(depends on you). In this way you accept that your answer is neither correct nor wrong because no one knows actually the answer and you can judge answers by their possibility of being wrong and choose the good part in every one of them and make a good life for yourself. Just continue to live and do good. This is the way of scientists. They search to find the “footprints” of life and examine by that and try to get close to the answer and life itself. We have not yet found the answer because you must look at it from every little aspect of the world and thats a hard thing to do 🙂 and we have not yet found all of the aspects of life. It’s like giving a theory of everything.
So we just pass it to the next generation and they to their next generation so one day we could find the true meaning. If you see philosophies answering it, it’s because they are looking at it from one or very few aspects and you can see how many times they have failed to answer it correctly.
3. When you know every single detail and data of the world and other worlds and existance itself.
It’s actually the end of type 2 🙂
Myself? I tried philosophy and as i was too much questioning it, it went bad for me and i was at first happy but then sad. Because i was not impressed. I tried science but in a wrong way. I gave ideas by not thinking that i know nothing( i thought i knew everything but i was wrong). Cut story short i went through Existential Depression/Crisis. One of the worst kinds of it. Then after i started to see what is scientistss ideas. They all give an idea from their own field and they all say at last that we are not correct because its from one view. Biology, Physics and etc. They all say that we may not know it now but we are still trying to find the answer. And this was the way that made me alive again.
I advice you to try ‘science(not pseudoscience 🙂 ) in the correct way’. Science is not what teachers put in our minds. No. It’s a way of thinking.

Spiritual evolution.

In my dark opinion:
To be battered until you realize continued existence is futile, and that you’re going to die anyways.

no purpose. nothing. do whatever you want to do

Purpose vs meaning. What if they are at odds?
