What's the purpose of life? - Watooka - 08-07-2016
You are born and then you have to work like mad to survive till you die. It doesn't make sense.

YOU have to make it purposeful : Life is how YOU make it !
as a kid I wanted to be involved in everything :
Cricket, Soccer, Chess, Debating, playing music instruments et cetera
Fast forward , today I have my hands in many jars...
and most enjoyable is encouraging my kids to "get involved"
even IF it is playing Steel Pan 8)

The religions all basically say the same thing: the purpose of life is to be good to others and compassionate and help ease suffering.
The sciences all basically say the same thing: life has no inherent purpose, is sheer chaos, and DNA simply exists to continuously replicate and propagate itself.
The Absurdists and Existentialists basically all say the same thing: life has no purpose, and is what you make of it.
Capitalism says: the purpose of life is to consume and through consumption desires are fulfilled and so happiness is achieved.
Buddhism says: desire can never be placated and so chasing desires is a long and pointless death spiral. So the Buddhist purpose of life is to end suffering through limiting desire.
Nietzscheans also have a clear life purpose: transcend the social customs humans construct and force upon others, and become an ubermensch, the best you can be, with your own new, personal values.
Chanderpaul had the best life mantra: Don't get out. Watch ball. If ball look fat, hit ball.
The Trinidadian purpose of life is pretty strange: everything is a joke, except the Guyanese Problem; THE GUYANESE INFIDELS WILL BE CRUSHED, AND ALL OF GUYANA WILL ONE DAY BE INCORPORATED WITHIN THE TRINI HEGEMONY.
Today, most don't have time to worry about "the purpose of life". The economic reality is, most spend most of their time dedicated to earning enough cash just to stay alive. In the United States, for example, 70+ percent of the populace lives pay cheque to pay cheque. They stop swimming, they die. For the majority, the purpose of life is simply to do anything it takes to not die. Contemplating the purpose of life, or designing one's life in a pleasing way, is a luxury most don't have.
