What is lifefor you?
What have you learnt and can you follow it everyday?

What makes you get up every morning?

For me, Life is my children and they have made me realise that LOVE is all we want and get accepted from everyone.

I am still try to not judge people and love them no matter how they are.

My children makes up wake up every morning

Not to criticize at all, but to simply point out that is the reason for life, the survival of the species. Bears, wolves, the wild cats, all the apes, etc. etc. mate, give birth to, and care for and teach their young to survive and make their way on their own, be it send them to college, or teach them how to bring down an elk so they can eat.

The meaning of life changes every once in a while. Currently, the meaning of life is trying to seduce the neighbor's 47 year old wife. She is hot!

To be is to do.

Work is the purpose of life.

Ahhh yes; this guy must have a thrilling social life. The guy everyone wants to invite to their next socializing event (yah want to predict his answer to that one, AN? )

The meaning of life is pretty much what you need it to be, but a lot of folks, especially those who seem to need a God in their lives, is to give endless thanks to that supposed giver of life, to celebrate their own devotion to Christ and to continue to speculate how it's all worthless unless you do, indeed, have your specific god in the picture.

Oh yeah, and to rebuff us damm-ned atheists, since we remind them there's a lot more truths out there, just out of reach for those hide-bound in fundamentalist thinking.

For me, that's all simply unnecessary. I'm not afraid of death; I'm not struggling without the Good Lord or the mythical Jesus; I don't believe the answers He's supposed to have provided us, since they don't test out worth an owl's phart, and finally; his supposed pathway to eternal glory is fraught with global greed, violence and bigotry, at the expense of our fellow man.

I ask: why do you NEED a reason for life? Just enjoy it all, "learn to learn", sit and smile in the sun with a loved one and enjoy that sipping Bourbon, port or nice Merlot. Or bottled Perrier™ water if that's your thing. Oh yeah; and your pet cat. Right Dottie girl? (she's purring... )

The purpose of life is to master those weaker than you.

To conquer, to win. Duh!

Question Why are we born...to do some specific work

MAybe i shud re-phrase my question:
Why are we born? Why dont we have some manual which wud guide us as to why and what we r supposed to do?

Does anyone knows why they r living..to do what?

Some people die earlier then other..why so...so mother nature thinks that you have done what u were supposed to do, so its time to die...is this true!!!

For me, Life is my children and they have made me realise that LOVE is all we want and get accepted from everyone. Uh, I bet they want some toys too.

I am still try to not judge people and love them no matter how they are. Yeah, that is my lifelong challenge too.

My children makes up wake up every morning Why don't you tell them to shut the heck up and go back to bed?

Does anyone knows why they r living..to do what? To experience life on Earth (& space if you are an astronaut ).

Some people die earlier then other..why so...so mother nature thinks that you have done what u were supposed to do, so its time to die...is this true!!! It would be kind of boring if we all died at 78 years, 3 months, 12 days, and 8 hours. Imagine how reckless people would be if they knew they were not going to die till then.
