The Purpose of Life

i believe the porpous of life is two fold. first one must understand that i personaly believe in a life before and after life on this sphear. that there is a plan layed out for each of us individualy by our own hands for the challenges we wished to over come while on this globe and ultametly where we want to go and what we want to do with our lifes in the hearafter.
second one must understand that i believe strongly in the right to choise ones own path. one may follow or not the path you your self layed out for your personaly eternal happiness.

the twofold mission of this life is in my view to 1) gain and learn to controle a body. by controle i mean more then just fine moter controle or the ability to walk a straight line. our bodys come with meny needs and desires and we must learn how to harness the power of the vessel of our souls as mush as we need to learn how to rain in its lusts and passions. and 2) to test our faith. to see if we truly believe as strongly in our current life what we believed in our past life. were the lessions we learned there internalized throughaly enough to become a part of who we are and not just lessions learned by rote to be regergatated onto test paper later.

Life is a self-propagating cycle. The purpose of life is to live and to create new life, which in turn has no purpose but to exist and copy itself.

Once you get down to it, all living things are basically viruses (which is ironic, because viruses aren't alive in the general sense of the word). They exist just for the purpose of existing and so that more of them can exist, regardless of whatever tries to get in their way.

your a depressing lot.
so far i'm the only one who thinks there is more to life then exsisting.

Do you see tigers sitting on a rock and pondering the meaning of life? No, of course not. They're out hunting, because they need to eat to ensure their continued existence, and thus their ability to reproduce.

Descartes got it, as you might recall. "I think, therefore I am. Therefore I must propagate, in order to endure."

i have nothing against propagation. but there is more to life then sex. but the only thing that sepreats us from the other spicies here on earth is that we DO ponder the mystories of life, we DO seek for something grater then our selfs.

Which is really just self-delusion. I guess that's the curse of humanity, that we've developed brains so powerful that they're no longer able to perform with any degree of utility. Even the concepts of 'why' and 'purposes' are just blocks placed upon us by a useless desire to understand things.

is it usless? our wondering why has lead to meany things. you never see panthers or giraffes looking to the stars, and so they have no desire or need to invent tellascopes or satilites or rockets.
their inability to question why prevents them from dreaming of things greater then them self and there for from achieving things greater then basic survival.

can you truly be content with mear surviving? doesnt your inner drive to know and learn and do pleague you into something greater then your self? have you never looked about you on a cold and lonly night and sighed to your self thinking "this is it? whos dumb idea was this? there has to be more!! i refuse to believe that there isnt more to life then this"?? how depressing the thought that this is all there is. that there was nothing before and there will be nothing after. how depressing to think that anyone you meet and part from will never be see again. i would give up on life here and now, if not long ago if i didnt think that there was more to it then surviving long enough to propagate a bit before i die.

I don't believe you think. And for the most part I deny everyone's existence and reality. Life itself is too illogical and rare for it to exist. So, I guess I must change the reason of life. The purpose is not to die, it is to serve the only true consciousness, ME!
