exactly stonestongue.

i should have specified : Do what you want, be free, as long as you're not interrupting other people's freedom.

like. don't steal other people. even if it makes you happy.

Instead, rob a bank!

What is the purpose of your existance, do you know?

I will allow the late Kurt Vonnegut to give the answer (may he rest in peace):

"I tell you, we are here on Earth to fart around, and don't let anybody tell you different. "

For ME.

To be happy.



In the grand scheme of things,
To survive long enough to procreate in order for the species to survive.
The 1 basic instinct I'd say. Everything else is secondary.

"What is The purpose of our existance?"

Well, while I like philosophy, I do not think that the purpose of our existence is to seek the purpose of our existence, that is kinda "cyclical", IMO, it can defeat the purpose of ... our existence! Logic is lovely!

I have asked God, many many times...I'm just getting no answer


You could try asking the easter bunny, or tooth ferry - and you'll get the same result for the same reason.


What is our individual purpose?


I think we have to consider the possibility that we don't have a purpose at all. It's attractive to think we do, as then we won't think of our lives as a "waste". But - really - there's no proof there's a purpose or destiny for any of us. Make your choices accordingly.

Do we really exist is the real question.....maybe this a game of The Sims on a scale we can not begin to understand.......in fact the internet is the perfect example of this.....A virtual world given life by the will of those who use it......if everyone rejected or simply didn't use it....would the internet really exist?

Also why does there need to be a goal or purpose?

If God created us... isn't it enough that he bothered to do it all.....maybe God was bored and decided at some point to make something (I think I would be very bored if I was all knowing all seeing) Imagine never every being surprised....no wonder.....no questions.....just because you already know all of the answers....maybe just maybe thats why God would give his creations free will and leave us in ignorance just so we could wonder a little.
