What Is Our Purpose In Life And Why Are We Here?

This is probably one of the oldest questions humans have asked and one of the most difficult to answer.
We have many purposes in life and each of us will see ours as unique.
it could be said that we are on earth to perpetuate the human race but of course not everyone wants to fulfill that role. We all have something to offer that's unique to us but has an effect on others in some way or another.
On an individual level we are here because we have been created by our parents and perpetuate our family line.
Alot of the answer to the question is dependent on your religion, philosophy and whether or not you accept that God has a role to play and whether or not destiny is already mapped out our lives for us.
much of our purpose in life is in what we are - our personalities and what we choose to do with our lives. Why we are here is one of lifes great mysteries!

Whether or not you believe in God here is the short answer - (however, believing in God might make it a little easier)

Short answer: to know, love, and serve God...


So that was the short answer.... though this might have raised even more questions, but it makes sense if you really think about it.

Why should I know God???
- Because he is MY Creator, and he has created ME with a specific and marvelous plan for MY life, and if I want to know what it is... then it just might be best for me to get to know the One who has such a plan.
This doesn't mean we have to follow His plan for our lives, but it just might be the best one - but don't take my word for it. Give it a try yourself - getting to truly know God is the first step.

Why should I love God???
- Because HE loved US first. Once I REALLY know God, I'll discover, or maybe even RE-discover just how much he truly loves me.., and not in some impersonal, detached, and

Why should I love God???
- Because HE loved US first. Once I REALLY know God, I'll discover, or maybe even RE-discover just how much he truly loves me.., and not in some impersonal, detached, and "abstract" way - but on a REAL, AUTHENTIC, AND PERSONAL level, beyond what I can imagine.

Keeping every scientific and social life aside every-one who is/are serious about his/her particular nature and getting every time stressed is-"Creating pain in his mind" in the manner that every next time "The pained mind" will not try to do the past which is essential.
We are here by the nature, wait for the correct time learn from the past Try to hear to our elder one and the experienced. Pay respect to the nature....... In every-ones life there are lots of Up's & Down's. Don't worry about the current question... Because this will damage the sence of humar and one can make mistake in the manner that your Question will not contain any answers. SO, WHOMSOEVER IS CONCERENED WITH THIS SORT OF QUESTION MUST TAKE REST & TRY TO ARRANGE THEMSELVES AGAIN IN THERE WORK.
