Purpose of life?

Taking all the pleasures, emotions and experiences of this universe in till my very last breath, while giving and receiving as much love as possible.

 

I have a hard time disagreeing with this. Maybe adding "understanding" to that list as well.

 

I don't think you need to understand everything to enjoy it.

For example, I don't know what is the exact cause for my bisexuality and my polygamy, I don't know why I'm capable of giving so much love, I don't know which wires, cells or what part of my soul makes it possible, made me the way I am - I enjoy it immensely and just take it in as is.

 

Technically speaking there is no purpose to life, other than the natural evolution of life itself. However because we as human beings are selfish, we tend to cling to the idea of finding happiness. There is nothing wrong with this, and I too share this idea. Till my dying breath I wish to experience all that life has to offer, I wish for this because it is a desire hardwired into my brain.

Of course not; wonder is part of the experience though. And generally, the more I know about something, the more I appreciate it.

 

A few years ago, I read this somewhere: "The purpose of my life is giving life a purpose." - and that's what I try to live by.

I'm a hopeless romantic, so even unconsciously I'll always be seeking "the one" (as cliché as that sounds) and above all, I want to be happy and, in order to achieve total bliss, I still have something to check of the list, like: falling in love, traveling anywhere and everywhere (wherever the wind takes me), successfully getting a book published, leave my legacy by raising a son/daughter and make a change in the world(as little as it might be) just so the future generations will know that I was here.

... I dream big, I know.

 

I'm a hopeless romantic so I wouldn't really care but I'm desperate to help people and have a boyfriend...eeeeeep.

 

I have none, not even a subjective purpose (we all know the objective purpose is unclear), and I think that's something I need to change.

 

My purpose of life is to live. I've given up on a target purpose, even if it does happen. Whenever I plan things out, life seems to take a different direction into a different story. Not that I mind

 

My purpose is to life fully, be happy, go on adventures and spread the love.

 

To experience emotions to the absolute maximum and use them to influence the world and the people around me - doing this through music, creative writing, and generally acting empathetically towards people.

 

To find happiness and have experiences.

 

I want to be remembered after death as long as I could be.

 

To live knowing you did your best and have many loved ones in your life accept you for who you are not what your supposed to be by there standards

 

We're all a bit hedonistic, aren't we?

 

Some more so than others.
I'm a top of the line hedonist.

 

Have fun, love your family (and friends), respect yourself (and other people), strife to learn for the sake of knowledge, indulge in different experiences and contribute something valuable to the world before you die.

Technically speaking, it is nigh impossible to live a life if there is no personal purpose.

Haha. There is always someone 'better' at what you do. Though (presumably), circumvented the occupation hazards and (hopefully) do not derive sadistic pleasure?!

 

It all comes down to what you personally believe as being personal. What you think are reasons genuine to you, I call simple human nature. It is by no means anything bad, it is just not a good reason in my opinion to justify life. Surely there must be something else besides basic human instincts.
