What is your life's purpose? Or, have you thought about it? What do you normally do?

For now, I am a mum. And I forsee this will be my purpose for waking up everyday for the next few years... And I hope I will always have a purpose of being a good wife. Sometimes it is just making the best of where you are now.

Life's purpose? Why should life have any purpose? Life is just is - a fact (a very special one, but still a fact). The purpose is what people make of it. I mean, people go after their dreams, which their mind show up, and are usually made from life experience, or may be, some DNA residue from generations past (depends how spiritual and philosophical you want to go). People might think their business, or raising up their children is the purpose in life, but, eventually, when we come to see the world in a more humble way (i.e. the humans are not the center of the world), we want exactly what every other animal on this planet wants : to spread our genes as much we can, to carry on our legacy through our offsprings. All the rest is just stories made up by people to justify actions and satisfy some holes in logic of something. So what's the meaning of life? Life's a gift - there are more chances to win the lottery than being born, so just enjoy them.

Thanks for your response. Personally, i believe that there is a purpose in everyones life. I feel like everyone has something unique about them, and that they have a definite purpose in life.

I believe anyone can believe anything he wants, unless it hurts someone else. As long as one feels happy, and this belief makes one's life easier to bear and even fulfilling. I hope you have found your meaning, and that you fulfill it :)

Thanks for your response. I am sure that you will find that there is more in life than just your lovers. And that making a better life for your family will certainly lead you in the direction of finding your special purpose.
