I used to think that the purpose of life was to learn and grow.聽 The nicer you are to other people the nicer they are to other people and that makes you a better person.聽

Now I know that the purpose of life is to collect the most twitter followers.

We are here to learn and have fun.

I used to think life had to have a meaning...but is doesn't.

We are here and our physical life is temporary. That much we know.

Best enjoy the ride because it does end.

I said life does not have to have a meaning.

The purpose in life is to learn and have fun. In other words...just live and experience.

It drives people crazy when you remind them they are temporary and that life does not have to have any meaning..other than what we choose to believe.

If what I say bothers you rest assured in 100 years no one will remember who I am and what I posted here.

So it does not matter.

Birth, death & rebirth. This is the cycle of life. This life is full of suffering, for example: hunger, thirst, illnesses, old age... etc. Your body is very beautifull, amazing & complex. But you know well what will happen if you are not educated, civilised & you dont take care of your body, take bath everyday.

After death of a human body, can you smell it after one week? Imagine the same body was so beautiful, we used to hug it, a person used to make love to it... & Now......

We come here empty handed & leave this world empty handed. All that we took, we took from here, all we must leave it here itself. No one took somethimg from here.

And yes, what we take from here is just the fruit of our actions that determine our next birth, the rest remains here.

The fruits of our actions are benefitted by our soul, whether bad or good.

Purpose of life: Do all good actions that will detach you from this cycle of birth, death & rebirth. On doing this you will achieve realisation, realisation of the supreme god. If you dont achieve that, at least you will be born in the human race, with a very good & spiritual life.

So do good actions with your thought, speech & actions

Thanks
Pramod

If the purpose of life is to follow Islam then I've failed completely.聽 As has most of the world.

Then again I've completely failed to collect twitter followers.

And I don't even own a car!

I'm on the losing end of every philosophy.

You are in Hong Kong, why do you need a car?

I cannot believe you have no twitter followers.

If I was cool and did twitter, I would follow you. But alas I am not cool.

I don't need a car at all.聽 Parking here would be impossible.聽 But to people who think having the most toys wins, not having a car is terrible.

I stopped using twitter a long time ago.聽 I never got the point.

Yes, sometime I ask myself: what do I expect from this life?
If I don't know my goal, how can I reach it?
I am really don't satisfy about myself, sometime dissappointed ...
sometime I really thirsty of others' life, although I know it isn't good.

The sole聽 clearest fact is death. Why are we alive? Why did we do this? What will happen next?
What is the purpose? I believe life will pass while we are chasing the answers. Just enjoy every moment

Each one of us has a very unique purpose in life.聽 It's actually very cool to learn your own purpose -- I've done it through a couple of fun exercises.聽 Very inspirational and very, very easy.聽 The gist -- just think about everyone who knows you and imagine they are telling you the impact you made on them.聽 Write it all down and look for a common theme.聽 That's your life purpose.

The visualization I am referring to isn't about what people "think" about you -- but about what impact you've had on them.聽 There is a huge difference there.聽 It's quite powerful, actually.

I have came across these words and thought to share it with you here:

"The purpose of life is to grow physically, mentally and spiritually. It's about traveling down different paths of your life and making decisions. You will make some mistakes, as all of us do. We learn from them and grow stronger. It's about being true to yourself, standing alone sometimes when you really believe in something and not fearing retribution. It means to love those around you, help where you can, be known as a person that can be trusted and just do the best you can. If we didn't feel sadness we could never experience happiness; if we didn't get angry on occasion we would never know peace, and if we didn't trust our hearts we'd never know love. Yes, it's about pro-creating, but life is much more than that if you open your eyes, ears and heart and listen!"

The purpose of life is to recognize the creation and to be grateful for what we have 聟 We have got to think objectively about life

to survive, to suffer to love, and to learn.聽 To be true to ourselves avoid the negative and embrace the positive.聽 And i suppose the ultimate purpose it to create and do what you love.

Not that many years ago I thought life was all about getting as many biker chicks in my bed as possible.
That may have been fun but it was also wrong.

The real thing is making people smile.

A good few of the biker chicks smiled so I may have been half right before.

It's living each day as if it was you last. And telling your loved ones you love them every day, and your children that you are so proud of them.

And if your a parent....embarrassing your kids 24/7

especialy if they bring home boyfriend/girlfriend {picture time]

So far wrong.
Islam is wonderful and Allah is the light of everything but..

Get real mate. Pray all you like but you'll lead an empty life unless you get out there and enjoy it while trying to do good to as many people as possible.
You can be a good Muslim and have fun - lots and lots of fun.

If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they'll kill you. Oscar Wilde ...Well I'm more or less agree with (O Wilde). So,聽 i will say just say the truth, no more, and聽 if after reading ME,聽 (here below),聽 your subconscient shake..you are聽 ready to learn and to feel...The objective science. if not continue to be a "happy fool".

The reason聽 or the prepose of life in general -include the animals-is to serve the cosmos precisely the (MOON, and to help god by praying at least 1 time a day at the best 5 times... And finally serving ourself ( meditation).

P.S: Help the others when you are done with your egoistic (but legitime) work on yourself. The rest is聽 litterature..[/b]..

Agreed, as a Muslim I can say religion is one of purposes of life not the whole life, the heart should be pure and full of love but one should live his/her life to the fullest and enjoy every minute because it's only one life we'll get and life is short too.

Many people wonder about the meaning of life, the purpose of life and they waste their life searching for an answer. To me I feel my life has a meaning when I help those who need help, when I make people around me happy and when I travel to new places and see the beauty of the world.

The purpose of life is different from person to person and it depends on how you see things. One thing I'm sure of is all of us have the same purpose we want to be happy.
