I will start by defining purpose simply as a person's aim and/or goal(in life).
One's purpose could be anything but not nothing.
Why am I here? To what end?
That is a question of purpose. In life, generally, there's usually a purpose to everything, both animate and inanimate.
The purpose for going to school is to acquire an education, or even for some, to get certification. The purpose to working so hard is to put clothes on our backs and food on the table. The purpose why we have gadgets is to simplify communication and reasons in that line.
sourceIn cases of individuality, there is s purpose to our lives whether we are aware of it or not.
Some people had a flash of inspiration and
discovered a "purpose in life."
Some people have chosen to see it in the tedium of what they do everyday.
Some people have pondered and pondered and come up with what they feel is their "Calling.'
Some people ponder and ponder and don't feel there is a purpose large enough, or have not figured it out.
Some people don't care and don't feel there is a purpose.
To find one line, it's important that you ponder how you want to be remembered when you pass away. Then plan on where you want to be years from now towards that goal. This may trigger a higher purpose in life.
As a Christian, if I have to go by the Biblical call, I would say for certain that God, firstly, has us here to fulfill his word and add colour to the earth. And then, there are individual purposes that we serve in the society and to life.
The purpose of life is to be the person you were meant to be . It can also be a personal choice. Either you find it or you don't; it isn't there until you choose it. Let me repeat that: You don't have a purpose unless you choose one. It is also a choice. We all have a purpose in life and i feel like whether a person lives for many years or not, in the the time they're here, they get to fulfill it. When it comes to self-made choices based off on purpose, we may get the fulfillment or we may not.
People need meaning because life inevitably consists of things that aren't pleasurable, but necessary.
Consider the ant. He builds a heap of pine-
needles. Somehow it's programmed in his DNA to do so. Although it's not fun, he does so anyways. An ant doesn't have a life until he picks up that pine-needle. Life must have meaning because they're the same things.
People want to have a life. That's why they thirst for meaning.
There's certainly more to life than struggling, marrying, and just dying. It can't be only that. The earth was created for a reason, so is Life and living.
