Whats the point of life?

Asking for an answer to the point of life is like asking if there is a god, or asking how existence started and how our universe came to be. We can make a best guess, but there is no proven answer. At least not yet. All we know is our instincts tell us to survive and reproduce, like products of evolution, but the fact that there are billions of us now makes an individual survival very meaningless, and changing the world through your actions won't matter in the end. By some point in time, the effects of your actions will die off, and your name will be forgotten just like everyone else. So make a best guess, whether you believe there is a point to life or there isn't, or whether you believe life has a deeper meaning or not, and live by it if you want. It really doesn't matter. If you think it does matter, I don't care. It's not my problem.

^Is that a trick question? But it's interesting... so I will try...

 

I don't think life that exists must have a purpose. If you keep wondering life must have a purpose you keep wasting your time where it should be spent being enjoyed by you. If you spend your whole life trying to figure out a purpose of your life and find no answer, you spend it thinking and not enjoying... and if you keep thinking about it, one thing for sure: you will not enjoy it.

 

The purpose of your life is to ____ your life. If you could fill in the blank with:

a.) enjoy

b.) think about the purpose of

 

 

Which answer would you choose?

 

If you answer a: The purpose of your life is to enjoy your life.

If you answer b: The purpose of your life is to think about the purpose of your life.

 

 

a makes sense...

b doesn't, it puts you into pointless, endless circle of thought... without answer.
