I read a discussion about being put here on earth to accomplish something and once we have god takes us to a better place, on to better things. I do believe this is true. My question to you is...If we knew what our goal was in life, why we were put here and then when we accomplished that we would pass away. Would you accomplish your duty or would you wait and do things you wanted to do first?

I believe it's true. Everyone of us has a goal to achieve in every life. Too bad we don't know what it is. We have to find out for ourselves. It is said, that when you're not on the right path, you feel waisted, no good. When you are on the right path, doing what you're supposed to do, every day should be a great day to wake up to it. Enjoy all day and even if you're working super hard, you'll have only satisfactions and no bad times. Our goal, might take longer than we think, to accomplish. So , I try to combine everything, duty, goal(what I think it is for me), and enjoy life, all in the same time.

But if you knew what it was would you choose to do it, knowing you would die shortly after or would you avoid completing your goal so you could live longer? I like your answer thanks for sharing.

Hi me, That's what Free Will is all about. If you choose to do things that you want to do instead of what you think you are suppose to do, then you are probably going against your path in life. If you intentionally do something that you know is wrong, then you have chosen to go against God's Will. So if you think about it, people are doing what they want rather than what they know is right, all the time. Here's my question, why do you think that God will wait till you have accomplished your task? Maybe our path isn't when you've accomplished your task but when your time is up, how you have used it. leenie

I also think that too, but then that don't explain those that die at such a young age. Why would he make such a good persons life so short?

I don't have the answer to that or anything else in life. Like you, these are all questions we don't really don't really know the answers to. God has the answer, we are just suppose to live our lives the way we think He would want us to. I do think that we lice in His time not ours. That's the best I can do Me. leenie
