JCCramer Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 I don't believe that I had a preconcieved purpose. I make my own purpose in life, and I'm not too clear on that as of yet. I do know that it has something to do with helping people overcome suffering. Quote Link to comment

Apollo Posted September 4, 2004 Share Posted September 4, 2004 Purpose in Life.... I would define my answer in 3 ways... as a Rational Man, our purpose in Life is to achieved Human excellence. meaning, we should try to Loving, compassionate, and being not an assh*le to everyone. 2ndly, Spiritually speaking, our purpose in Life should be ... to be a co-worker of the Divine Supreme Being ....its like this, if you believe that you have a SOUL, then you should set goals & apply it to your daily life, so that when you passed away, our soul will reach the "Mansions of Heaven" where we should belong. As Jesus said, esoterically speaking, "In my Father's House, there are several Mansions". Lastly, mentally speaking, every human must evolve wholelistically, meaning, we should always aim for Human excellence in every category...physically, mentally & spiritually. Quote Link to comment

SaNuk Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 the deepest secret is that life is not a process of discovery,but a process of CREATION. you are not discovering yourself, but creating yourself anew.seek, therefore, not to find out Who You Are,seek to determine Who You Want to Be. the wonder of this purpose is that it is never-ending.ending is a limitation, and God's purpose is without such a boundary. we are here to remember, and re-create, Who We Truly Are.

Manticore Posted September 25, 2004 Share Posted September 25, 2004 Just be. There is no singular purpose for your existence in this world. It is everything that you are at this very moment. You are doing whatever it was you were meant to do. Too vague? Once you choose to do something, you simply do it. This doesn't mean you can't change your mind halfway through, does it? So right up to that moment, you're doing whatever it is you were supposed to do, as a consequence of who you are. Thus, goes the saying, "Life is what you make of it." Don't you just love philosophy? Philosophy, in the strictest sense, doesn't encourage one to reach any profound truth. It's merely an exercise of asking more and more questions.... Quote Link to comment
