Do you know the purpose of your existence?

NO I don't know the purpose of my existence.I think that is what Buddha was trying to find out through out his life.I it too much for me to understand the meaning of it.

There are different ways to look at it. On one hand we hear people talkin about human beings sent on a mission to earth and that they have been programmed to behave in that manner. On the other hand we also believe in living each and every moment of life and accepting challenges as they come. Every individual has his/her perspective on the meaning of life. Personally,I feel life is a gift and we should enjoy and cherish things that come our way. We should have our own goals and purposes and with each and every accomplishment we realise the purpose of our existence.

Very few people know what is the purpose of their existence. Only the handful people who know exactly can serve something to mankind. As a common man, I don't know what is my purpose on this earth. I am in search of it . And to me, this search can be named as Life. Life teaches a person itself what is the purpose of his life. Destiny will show the way of achieving one's purpose, to find out his true identity. We just have to follow the path and should try to do our best whenever we have a scope to do something for others.

it's a good question. lots of people has different purpose. all is not the same. if you were created to be menace to society will you say it is there purpose. if you were a street children is it your purpose. if you been rob by a bystander is that there purpose. just because some of us were blessed and we can say to live life and get rich and stay healthy it is our purpose. think of it. i can't think clearly. what is your purpose, my purpose. but if your purpose is to help those kind that is your purpose.

When i saw it i have spend few minutes to thought about this problem, until now i really don't know my purpose to live on the earth ,just for money to live in a good condition, and take care of my parents and so on? but is those they all to live on the earth? i don't know !be born just for to live ?

i really like your view of it. as for me, i think my purpose in life is to try to push those in my life to higher grounds. i try to push people to reach their potential and do good in the world. i think i was meant to do something good with kids, which is why im going into teaching. ever since i was little, i knew that that was what i was going to be doing. i have a feeling i will impact something of greatness i can only hope i am that fortunate.

My purpose is to love God and keep his commandments, To be the best neighbor and friend I can be, to utilize the God given talents I am born with to the best of my ability and understanding. To train up my children in the love and respect of God's laws. To obey man and his government so long as it is not against God's own laws of government. To honor my mother and father and to love my husband and stay faithful to my marriage vows as long as he is content to dwell with me and not be abusive and visa versa. To become the very daughter of God and and heir with Christ God expects me to be. And to be a light and example for all humanity and preach Gods word to all people everywhere. To love and give of myself as able. To care for my body for it is the temple of the holy spirit and God. To be tolerant of others and their God given right of choice to believe in him or not. To love, laugh, and take each day as a gift as it comes to me as a gift from God. To revererance him and his son my Savior and High priest and King of Kings Jesus Christ and to endure to the end and seek first his kingdom.

I think my purpose is to make the world a better place than it was before I arrived in it. To do this, I do activism, write about politics, blog, post, write, attend social justice meeting on a variety of issues. I help other disabled get out of nursing homes.

Yes, I too believe in God and God has created each one of us for a special purpose and I am doing my level best to find that , until then I am doing what God is giving everyday. I think whatever may be the purpose if we do whatever comes our way with wholeheart then we are close to that purpose.

As far as I know, all of us have a purpose in life. Thqat is why we exists here on earth. But it varies according to His masterplan. It is up to you to discern.

Yes to be a spiritual millionaire and live love. I believe that God gives us the power and the ability to be who we are. Life is living His word. Follow and worship and accept God and you will have an eternal life.

I believe the god for given us wonderful earth and many things to live with happily, god sent us here for helping each other and live with happy and joyful, but some people don't know this secreat of god wishes, they creates the problems with other people and taking some wrong steps, which will disturb their running lifes, so please care your self and other people to live long life and happy life.

hi how are you i do not know the purpose of my existence but i have to create it as you know people say nothing comes in handy but you have to take and extract and this is the way the life goes tellme about your life and from how li=ong time have you joined my lot and how much have you earned till me now because i cannot earn much can you suggest something

I believe there is purpose. Sometimes I am not sure of what mine is but I know there is a higher being. I believe that there is a supreme being that created everything who happens to be God. I have run into some people who question his existence. It is kind of sad when you think about it. I have my moments when I lose my faith, but I keep coming back to wanting to believe again. We are suppose to exist for God's pleasure.

gegegelay believes that God created every single person - Then tell me why he told us to go and multiply. What about your mother and father, do you owe them anything?.

For me my purpose is to learn everyday what my purpose is. I think its a lifetime effort to really know what your purpose is. The basics are what you just mentioned but the details is what you have to discover in your day to day living.

Hi gegegelay........nice question.......My views are a bit different from yours dear. When I was going to enter this world, I was told that my parents and my relatives were expecting a boy and unfortunately I was a baby girl and most unwelcomed by all. But since they could not kill me , they accepted me.......my childhood was not very nice and turned into hell, when I lost my mother at the age of 5......All I can say is that nobody actually wanted me till the age of 13, after that I was a bit important as I could do all kind of household work , like washing, cooking, laundry, shopping...., I don't think it would had matter to anybody if I was there or not........now I am married and have two children and I think my purpose is to look after them till they can look after themselves, later on may be they will also not need me.....so finally, I can say, people like me were made by God without any purpose....he just made some like me and threw them on the earth.......so we will live till he calls us back.......Have a nice day.

There is only one thing that I know that caused me to exist, God's pleasure. I was not created to go to heaven nor to hell but because God takes delight in me and that's it. I see that you are somehow attached with the monergistic teachings hehe.

I believe that I'm here because the Creator wants to. I don't know exactly what is my purpose here. It could be my passion for music or film directing, I don't know! All I know is that I'm here, so I won't waste the opportunity of living my life to the fullest. Experience different things as much as I possibly can. In short, I won't waste this incredible chance to make a difference in this world.

The question is wrong. The qestion should be what can I do to make my life meaningful? There is no purpose in my existence just as there is no purpose for the existence of a rock but I can make a difference in the way I treat my family, friends and the all the people I come in contact with.
