What is the meaning of YOUR life?
 
So yes, I'm asking a bit of a personal question here, but yeah are you guys happy with the way your lives are going?

Are you achieving something that you believe would benefit you and society at large?

Well as for me personally while my life has been one of rocky beginnings, I really am starting to believe that it is on a path of giving something back to society. While at the moment I do want to become a General Practitioner (Doctor) that serves under-served communities, I might change and IDK seek higher office?

"The world is not beautiful, therefore it is."

I'm not particularly pleased, but I feel I live a more meaningful life than a lot of people my age, and this pleases me. I feel I could change the world, nor do I aim to. Stekel said it best: "The mark of the immature man is that he wants to die nobly for a cause while the mark of a mature man is that he wants to live humbly for one."

It is to soon to tell for the most of us, I believe. But I also know that everyone on here has a purpose, we are all here to benefit mankind in any way we can... Even small things serve a purpose. Whether you're something extravagant like a Doctor, firefighter, or spaceman, or something as simple as a clerk, chauffeur, or chef, the things we do will all benefit humanity, even to a very small degree. If you can make at least one person happy, you have lived your life to it's purpose. :) No one should think they don't belong here because of a few mistakes, we all have a lifetime to make someone smile and right what was wronged. <3

Oh, if only everyone thought in such a way... Living for the greater purpose, the sake of all mankind. Instead of on one's selfish endeavors...

.....

Sorry, got a little philosophical there. :D <3
I personally think I am good. I have found someone who I love dearly, and I am willing to do anything to put a smile on their face~ I may make a few mistakes from my own foolishness, but I will only learn and become a better and smarter person from them. (Trust me, I'm an idiot when it comes to that stuff...) But that's rather selfish of me, isn't it? <3 That's my only selfish endeavor, I'm only a simple Erufuun. ;-;
Buuuuut, I plan to become a chef! A Pastry chef, to be exact! Cakes, pies, and everything in between, the ultimate comfort foods that make people happy.! I may make a few people a little bit chubbier, but as long as they are happy, right? XD

Before I moved to San Diego, I was very unhappy with my life. Now that I'm IN San Diego, my life gradually improved. I'm hoping in the future get a job as an IT to give people advice about computers, because technology is my life. <3

I believe my purpose is to be the very best. Literally, the very best at everything that interests me. I would like to be known as the greatest pianist of all time, the greatest mathematician, and the greatest Pokemon master. Aside from that, have fun all the way to the top, and make a family along the way, with my kids managing to eventually surpass my own achievements. Mainly, I seek perfection.

I don't know my purpose in life, but whatever it is, I doubt it's anything grand. And as of right now, I'll be honest, I am not happy with my life. But I'm trying to fix it. I'm trying to move on from a relationship, I'm trying to do better in school, and well, I should work on my social problems more. It's gotten the least amount of attention. Point is, things aren't going good right now, and sometimes I fall, but I'm not gunna let it keep me down forever. I'll do what I can to make it out. But my view on life as a whole is very low. I believe we live to work and work to live, and it annoys me. I kind of have that "I didn't even ask to be born" mentality sometimes, but hey, I was born, and now it's time to make something out of it.

Am I achieving anything...uhhh, no. lol Not really. I don't do a lot that's "achievement" worthy.

I believe the meaning of my life is to work, marry, have kids and die...and I'm actually content to do that.

I haven't found the meaning to my life yet, so my meaning right now is to find it.

No, scratch that I do. My meaning to live is to question everything.

1. Enjoy myself without directly harming others
2. Help others where possible

Sammi March 17th, 2011 8:56 AM

To be honest, I haven't really found any purpose in my life yet. I'm not really surprised; I'm still really young, even though I'm an adult. I don't think it'll be something I really find until I'm older and more experienced.

I hardly think I've achieved anything for myself, let alone the world at large. If I ever find a way to help the world, I'll take it, but until then, I'll just live for today. It's all I know to do anymore.

As for if I'm happy, not really. That's a tl;dr I don't want to get into. But at least I'm still alive, have a job, and a roof over my head, I can't really ask for more.

Yes :3 Why yes I am~ <333

Well, I mean I first wanted to be a scientist and make some inventions or something...
uh...
Then I figured out I suck at math. >.< Now I have a plan to go either into a medical science like my parents, or to go into law or business. Maybe become a politician or ambassador... that would be really cool. Or dictator. ^_^
The meaning of life is to do what you love, don't hurt others, and most importantly in my opinion, leave a lasting imprint on the world.

To me, life is doing the things you want to do before your time comes.

The meaning to life is 42... -3-

I think life is just about living everyday like it's your last and making it worthwhile for you and others.

Just my Opinion.

Finally, a mature topic of conversation.

I gotta say, my life has not unfolded expectedly. I've just started first year of College this year and I gotta say, stuff is way different from high school for me. It's strange and it's making me completely rethink what I thought in high shcool. so i dunno, ive been so used to ups and downs, but now it's got a certain mystery cause i don't know what i'll be doing next year and all that. but it still has its ups and downs.

yup haha
