Do you think our life is just a cycle? Or does it really has a purpose? According to an old book, our life is designed to be perfect. People are designed to live in a happy peaceful world. But do you think it is happening right now? DO you believe that God created people to live in meaningful AND PEACEFUL LIFE?

Hello, I think that our purpose in life is to tell people about God, and at the same time help the poor people out their. There are countless people dying out their in the world, so we should help them as best we can. Make sure you have a good day, God bless and Happy Lotting!!

I think we should make it clearly before we continuing this question. Perhaps you are right if our life is designed to be perfect. But please pay attention to the perfect means. In my own opinion, this perfect is as human's perfectness, not as the God's perfectness. So, it's totally different with the concept of perfect which usually associated with the God's perfectness. I think we must understand about our part in this life and in this world. Actually we are perfect as ourselves. A meaningful and peaceful life is everyone's dreams. But sometimes some people using wrong way to make the meaningful and peaceful come true. Some people are using extreme way to make it come true, and as the effect, it usually bring us to ruination. The main problem is on human's ambitions. It's hard to controlling someone if that person has been fulfilled with a great ambition. As a human, we should think back to the reason of creation in order to be able to undestand about our life purposes. Good luck and have a nice day. Happy mylotting.

I accept the view that life is a cycle which we all have to go through.The fact that we are all here each with a unique skill set means we are here for a purpose which we must accomplish.Life has its ups and downs and i cant say it is perfect for everyone but we can strive to make our existence better.God or nature created flora and fauna to live peacefully as imbalance is creating so many of our problems like global warming....

hi there unique.. nice question you brought up there.. ok,honestly... I sometimes start to doubt the real purpose of life.. i do get discouraged at time where i have to get up everyday and work work work.. face one prblem after another. It's all about looking for money to payy the bills, to buy food, to get you kids the things they need.. they say money is not important in life...well it is..you can't even enjoy life to the fullest wiith out it... it's a never ending cycle where people have to get up everyday to live for another day... it's so sad how we are like placed here to do out rime then go when we die... but hey, we're here..i figured i;'ll just make the best of it
