freakish Posted August 1, 2004 Share Posted August 1, 2004 Funny that i have to stumble here and confront myself with this question...like what they say..life is a journey,a moving on, a sailing on, and man is a sailor, a searcher of his path. Until i am near my deathbed I will never really know what my life's purpose have been. But while contemplating on that as i'm still here, healthy and kicking...i will continue to do what i am doing..to give love when it is needed, to be a good person, a good friend, a good mother, a good daughter, a good wife. I will take this opportunity to live my life to the fullest, to bring joy to those around me, to try to reach for all those childhood dreams and continue dreaming,...to love until there's nothing to love;andnot to question why I have to suffer through lifebut simply have FAITH that every single thingthat passes my way has reasons, and i can actually survive them. And when the time comes when I have to face my Creator...then and only then I can fully say what my purpose have been..or maybe I will just rely to whoever who will make my eulogy to tell people what and who I have been and how I lived my life.

niotsy Posted August 3, 2004 Share Posted August 3, 2004 My father told me once that my purpose in life is to serve God. Whats your purpose? Youre father was right. Man was created to serve and eventually praise and go back to his Creator. Â To know more read "Cathechism of the Catholic Church" available at National. Read and learn more. Quote Link to comment

urukhai Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 Do we need to have a purpose?If we do, who instructed us to have one?And I don't think it would just be to praise and glorify God.Why did he have to give us freewill if that would be our sole/ultimate purpose of existence? Just a thought. ------------------------------------------------I believe in God the Father Almighty, Creator of Heaven and Earth.... Quote Link to comment

tatel1ph Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 My life's pupose? Hmm... I guess to do good in life, right?Hi. Your signature caught my attention.  This dead guy who once said "wisest is he who knows he does not know" is one of the greatest minds who ever lived on this earth (I'm sure you know that).  It was an honest remark by him. It was no mystical or rethorical statement. It was the truth. He, like the other thinkers who came before and after him, like Socrates, Plato, Nicolas of Cusa, the Egyptians even, Johannes Kepler oddly, in trying to investigate the nature of finite things in this world, all, in the end, learned best that the more you know of the universe, the more questions who have in your mind. Using this distinct capability that only man was endowed with - reason - there is this inherent drive of man to know (this passion for knowledge that has been bastardized by a consumer-culture and sex-rock-drug counterculture). Now of course, the finite will not be able to completely understand the infinite. The process these philosophers had gone through in trying to "master the universe" only ultimatley led them to the better realization that a higher being - a creator if you will - is indeed the source of everything.  This realization though did not stop them from achieving the genius and greatness in them. Because in the process, they learned and knew what their purpose was as human beings, distinct from all other creatures, who have this unique proportionality with God and the universe.  The Egyptians investigated on this proportionality. They learned, while studying the stars and heavenly bodies, that there indeed lies a "divine proportionality" that keeps everything in order and that makes true that nothing happens by accident. This same realization presented the Egyptians with a "universal physical principle" to work on in trying to establish their connection with this ultimate infinite source of all things, and their purpose on this earth. Thanks for reading. Till next time. Quote Link to comment
tatel1ph Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 You might want to study what agape (or charity) means in the context of the Corinthians verses. It is what makes up man's purpose. Quote Link to comment

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.

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.  Quote Link to comment
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
