what is your purpose?

hey all I know is well..
I could dance if I wanted to
I could leave your freinds behind
that is if your freinds don't dance
cause if they don't dance..
while they'd be no freinds of mine!
Seriously lifes a ride or a trip if you will, it's all about doin more good in this world than u do bad, if u feel like challenging yourself go for it just don't get to serious as most do and let your ego snowball til u become a prick living a hypocritical life of former faded ideals. It is indeed better to let your ambitous dreams burn out, rather than let your ideal visions fade away.

 

Work hard

Play hard
Sleep when you're dead.

WHO ARE YOU? DUCK

 

My purpose is to point out that no one else can speak for me. If duck thinks that my life has no meaning, fine, but I am certain that he cannot possibly know that. His life may indeed have no meaning, I doubt that, but it is possible. As for anyone else........it is not for him or me to say.

 

some of these are great! makes the thread worthwhile.

i agree aalmost entirely with anarchistscott

i want to be somebody, not anybody

 

Anything you do in life will seem insignificant, but it is very important that you do it. Gandhi
Life is either an incredible adventure, or nothing. Helen Keller
Carpe diem

 

No I do not no that your life has no meaning, it is just opinion, I think that all life is meaningless.

 

And I cannot say you are wrong, I just feel strongly that there is a reason each of us is here. The reason itself is something I still feel totally ignorant of. My guess is that it is to learn something that will let us move on to another world.
I don't expect or desire to convince anyone else of that though.

 

My writing definately does it for me. It's hard to explain, but I have a really strong desire to communicate ideas through fiction. I've been called a poet before (although I realize it's arguable I'm no Coleridge ), but to me, simply conveying emotions isn't enough. I think writers, real writers, have this internal ache to communicate things that maybe they aren't enabled to simply SAY to someone's face. I know I've felt that and it's incredibly lonely and amazing. Knowing that I'm feeling and absorbing the moment to the point of absolute exhiliration is stunning and intoxicating. I find myself so swept in thought and moments in the mundane sometimes that it's almost impossibly beautiful. So, hopefully, I can make someone else feel what I feel. I hope I make a lot of people feel this way. That's my rant.

 

my purpose is not to be dizzy at this very moment so i can see straight and not have my mind go in different directions...insane colors and shapes and music playing i just don't know...well it's all beautiful and that's my purpose in life is to make everything beautiful!!! "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder"

 

I aspire to learn and create......

 

I want people to read my poetry. I think that I could get a book published when I write enough to compose a book. I also would like to try my hand at film. I see myself as a mind that is capable of anything, but all minds are. I'm an artist with great ideas. What I really want is for people to remember my words when I'm gone. If you want to read some of my poems, you can look in the poetry forum, but they're old and probably hard to find. If you're interested PM me and I would be delighted to show you some.

By the way, StonerBill, this is the best topic I've ever seen on Hipforums. You're a very bright one but I'm sure you know that by now.

 

What a coincidence this thread popped up.

I just finished watching I Heart Huckabees for the second time. The movie is pretty amazing when it comes to this. At the beginning of the film I was pissed about certain things in my life particularly my family. All humans are the same. We all suffer, we all are confused, and we all have issues.

I don't know what my purpose is. I'm aetheist. I don't believe in a god, life after death, etc. I have a real problem with this too. Just the idea that once I die it's done and there is no more thinking, no more existing. Therefore I try to focus as much as possible on this life. I do not believe in capital punishment at all. If I had to name my purpose in life... it would be to be a great dad, friend, son, and human being.

 

Thanks, I am a writer. I love putting my brain out there for people to read.

 

I've heard people argue that happiness is not a goal. Only a byproduct of acheiving a goal. While I can somewhat see their point, to me happiness is everybody's goal. The only purpose that people ever truly have, even. If you aren't content, what do you really have? So, the way I look at it, it's my job to make myself happy, and help others become so too. A problem that I and alot of like-minded people have is sacrificing what we want at the moment, temporary happiness, for what we want most, true happiness. To me true happiness is knowing myself, being creative and productive, understanding other people, and building meaningful relationships with them.

By the way, I think this is a great thread. It's nice to see some deeper topics on here once in a while. I also think it's great that people have disagreed and remained respectful; that is an all too rare occurance on these forums if you ask me.

 

well really, happiness and achieving goals are essentially the exact same thing

 

that could be said to be the 'meaning of life', to reach goals. organisms live and the only reason they live is because they reproduce, therefor keeping them [or their species] alive, their goal for living is to predproduce, and stay alive, really

not that i really believe there are reasons or anything, but in the end, this is what every thing that is capable of concieving 'reason' is 'meant' to do, achieve goals.

although this meaning is most probably not one that can really help in directing life in any way, except i guess to concieve the biggest goals to reach, or the goals that bring the most happiness, therefor achieving the most (because some goals are subconscious, and are subsequently interpreted as emotion - happiness), and to achieve them.

in reallity as an organism all we should be doing is fucking and killing everything that doesnt aid our own (individual's dna) survival. but that wouldnt be very nice so we may as well pick other things, and thats why humans developed (along with some animals) empathy, sympathy, etc caus we need eachother to stay alive.


sorry i didnt realise the tangent i was going on i was jsut sorta talking to myself if you know what i mean

 

What do I want out of life? I want to be remembered. I want people to look at me and think about how confidant and inspiring, even if I come on too strong. I want to work hard to get the simple needs in my life and play with the rest. I want to see as much of the world and meet as many people from as many walks of life as possible. That's how you learn. I want to be thought of as a giver, and selfless. I want to be a mother someday and fill a child's heart with happiness, laughter, and hope. I want to stay positive and never let any of the harsh things in life get me down.

there is so much out there that is negative, heartbreaking, evil, and fake. I want to rise above it, not to trick myself into ignoring it, but get my hands dirty, help the people, and put smiles on others faces.

That's who I really am. I come off as a cocky bitch sometimes when I post here, but in person, not many people dislike me. I would like to think I would make you guys smile too.

 

I think I killed this thread.

too bad, this is the best thread I've seen in a while.

 

I just wanna be happy.
Find that good reason to wake up every morning with a smile and no worries.
Material things come and go....
I want to be Happy.
