What is the purpose of life?

[Cosmic Nordic Supremacy]

Please, answer the big why to your best ability. Go head and post your best (or worst) thoughts.

A few thoughts...

We are here to learn, grow, and progress. The underlying reason for this is because as children of God, it is expected that we should one day grow up and become Gods ourselves. So earth is something of a school or training session. Creativity of all sorts - quite unique to humans - is god practice. If I'm writing or painting, I am creating a universe, a microcosm. As above, so below.

[Magister Eckhart]

"This is our purpose: to make as meaningful as possible this life that has been bestowed upon us; to live in such a way that we may be proud of ourselves; to act in such a way that some part of us lives on."

To serve the Earth.
I think that the Earth is a big organism and everything on is it some sort of a process to "serve" the Earth.

So peoples lives dont really matter the way we wish they did, but somehow humans got fucked up and feel the need to have a meaningful life from and individuals point of view. So in order to be in peace with oneself people start looking for a meaning for their lives, though probably there isnt one.

The purpose of life is whatever purpose you decide to give it.

Religion is a crutch if you require it. Nothing more.

If you think Mother Nature is benevolent or other than neutral just remember the floods in Brazil or Australia or assorted earthquakes and tsunamis around the world which slay thousands upon thousands.

We owe the Earth nothing. We don't ask for birth or death.

Nature does not care for us and would swat us like flies.

Cant say that the human is benevolent or neutral towards anything at all.
What has killed more people anyway? Natural disasters or human activity?

If anything I think nature is trying to eliminate the most unnatural thing on this planet... which was probably an accident anyway.

[Tolleson]

Eat, drink, screw. Why complicate things?

[M.I.A.]

To do whatever makes you happy.

[Óttar]

To slaughter your enemies, spread your genes, and make you and your allies fat with the spoils of war.

No?
