Dark Mind Posted March 4, 2005 Report Share Posted March 4, 2005 Are we here to fullfill whatever our Earthly desires may be? Should we focus on balancing the condition of mind and body? Or should we focus mainly on the absorption of knowledge to become the greatest thinker of all time? Or should we focus our efforts solely on the bettering of our body? Does any of this even matter though, since we will all one day die, at least until they get that immortality thing down :hyper:. What are your thoughts on the purpose (not meaning) of life.

Queso Posted March 4, 2005 Report Share Posted March 4, 2005 I don't think we really have a purpose. We can make some up though, have your own purpose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turtle Posted March 4, 2005 Report Share Posted March 4, 2005 I think the purpose of life is to improve efficiency. Like in seeking the grand unified theory & the idea of a short equation that describes everything. That same pursuit of efficiency is our purpose in everything. Don't quarrel, because it wastes energy. Plan ahead, because it may save energy. Get the most from the least.:hyper: Be efficient. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turtle Posted March 5, 2005 Report Share Posted March 5, 2005 Roger Wilco. You said, "The purpose of life i would think is to live...and how u define "live" is the meaning."___I understood you to mean that we each must individually define 'live', & so I meant to ask how you as an individual do so. ___I as an individual said I think 'live' means maximizing efficiency. I hope that clarifies.:hyper: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queso Posted March 5, 2005 Report Share Posted March 5, 2005 i myself just want to use my creativity to my max potential. that's all i really want to do to be satisfied when i'm old and gray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OpenMind5 Posted March 5, 2005 Report Share Posted March 5, 2005 Turtle, My personal definition of life is much like your own..."maximum efficency." Life is about liveing every moment to the fullest. (But I am also religious, and i don't wanna start that debate here...) Life is what you put into it. NO REGRETS! Op5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aki Posted March 5, 2005 Report Share Posted March 5, 2005 there is no purpose to life. What are we waiting for now? We are all waiting for death. Even the universe is waiting for its death, in couple billions of years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queso Posted March 5, 2005 Report Share Posted March 5, 2005 probably more than a couple, and that, among many things, is what makes it so amazing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarak Posted March 5, 2005 Report Share Posted March 5, 2005 I believe in one thing.Body is hardware and our mind is a self regenerating and sustainable software(brain is like the CPU) and life is the journey of this software through time.Neither life nor death have any specific purpose.The software (the complexest patterns of thought processes) loses powersupply and is off.Meanwhile we all have chance to understand this software while we are alive.regardsT.Dhurjati Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motherengine Posted March 5, 2005 Report Share Posted March 5, 2005 no purpose at hand given. i would suggest transcendence. forget eating or competition (too much energy expended on meeting the challenge of bullies) just deliver wisdom to those around you by failing to be rised. and don't let anyone tell you sex is everything.

TINNY Posted March 5, 2005 Report Share Posted March 5, 2005 What's all this crap about purposes of lives? from what you guys are saying, i don't see it being very scientific at all... just mentalist nonsense. Long lives Freud! It really is obvious that atheism and scepticism will take us nowhere. Just look at you guys. You couldn't even call them conjectures, let alone scientific.
