The main purpose is to reproduce, in the meantime we focus on the secondary purpose, staying alive as much as possible.
Everything we do is to assure reproduction, just stop and think a sec about it

It's all about Jesus, and by extension, about love/relationships. The most intimate relationship in the universe is between Jesus and the Father. And they want to share that love with us...

Be the best...not by being the best OVER the others but WITHIN and helping others who deserve it and you care for.

Fellow philosophers,
Im only copying and pasting from another thread i commented, because this one here seems to have the same purpose and is even more popular than the one i commented before.
I read 2 interesting things here, first that there's no meaning and second that we are sensorily limited. At first one can think there is no meaning and that would be reasonable, as it was already, in other words, said the universe doesn't care whether we kill ourselves, what would end any possible meaning, or keep living and doing whatever we want, apparently. And here comes our limit, how can we affirm there is no meaning if we are not aware of everything? Maybe we are not even aware of a tenth of the universe or less, much less.
People i respect a lot on this matter thought supposedly the same way, people like Socrates, Plato, Siddhārtha Gautama among others, it's said, that they all talked about transcendence as a “variable” in this “equation”. They were like us, and could not find any meaning on the limits of our consciousness, so they had to search for it beyond them.
Sorry for my bad english, it's a bit rusty.
Best regards,
F.K. Barbarossa

Yeah, indeed. The whole ‘ultimate purpose’ thing appears to be nothing but a human construct. On a related note, it is extremely frustrating to deal with people, who are clinging to such irrational concepts. That being said, I do not blame them, as evolutionary (specifically, concerning human evolution), it makes perfect sense to adopt certain intuitive values as universal, even though they are not. There are no such things as ‘goodness’ and other abstract concepts vowen in the very fabric of reality either, which, based on my experience, is rather counterintuitive. A serial killer does nothing wrong, in some cosmic sense, and people have a hard time comprehending this fact. But again, we’re evolved to solve practical problems rather than abstract ones, our ability to do so is just a sideffect, not the trait individuals were naturally selected for.
