7. You're right. Remember...
when talking about the purpose of life your purpose must be all inclusive - meaning "why am I here? why is this bacteria here? why is this virus here?".


Reproduction is the only purpose, meaning, and responsibility that we all have in common.

After that, we can die fulfilled.

3. The purpose of Life is to add a viable choice to
the breakfast table, I think. And, of course, therefore I am, Sam.

11. To ask the question, "what is the purpose of life?"
And then spend the rest of your days trying to figure the answer out.

17. What is the purpose of life?
Why, to eat as much chocolate as possible.
At least that's what I've been told.
And so far, my 'life' has been pretty successful in that area. :bounce:

20. To screw other people and make money, sometimes by screwing over people
I'm not saying that in a sexual context, though I am aware it can be used in such a context.

24. I don't know either...
but since we're here, I think we should spend what we have of ur lives, trying to improve conditions rather than destroy everything we don't agree with.

The essence of human life is thought, that doesn't explain What the purpose of life is, but it shows potential for what life could be. Until we get over all over the petty hates and divisions in humanity, we will never find out Why we are here, or What life could really be.
