can anyone who reads this please give me some input on what you belive is a persons reason for being here?....ive heard it millions of times on t.v shows and comics in the newspaper. Now i personally think that all human beings have the exact same purpose in life, which is to impact/influience another human being in anyway, if you look at history and the present, you'll see that all people have admired a person and it has shaped thier life somehow, may it be a president, philospher,friend, or media icon,etc....what do you think?

Everything you do and/or don't do impacts another person's life.

so me staying in my home all day "doing nothing...no people communicaton or contact"is impacting another life??

Obviously if you do nothing nothing happens. Since there is always the possiblility for you to do something it is always possible to influence other's. When you do nothing you are still making a choice and that choice is not to influence anything. Your influences may be good or bad.

Yes, doing nothing is still impacting another life.

okay, I think I understand

Doing nothing is doing something...

Anyway, my meaning of life is to perpetuate my line.

Spirit of '22 sounded about right when he said that the meaning of life is to search for the meaning of life...

Personally though, I tend to define my purpose in life in terms of the people I know and love.

Which is pretty much what Tr1bal said.

Evolution: You are here to reproduce. Anything else is completely unrelated

i believe in evolution, but i also believe in a supreme creator. yes, reproduction is deep-seeded in our insticts, even to the point to say that both genders behavior's and thought's stem from their animal insticts (thats taking a Freud approach), but i feel humans are something more, as they have feelings like guilt, depression, inadequacy, (to name a few feelings) that actually hinders reproduction. if you missed my point, ill phrase it in a question: Do lab rats feel they're not worthy to reproduce? no. yet some humans do.

The reason is what you make of it.

"Die not to spare, but so that the world may perish."

To defile all that is good, and to lust over all that is evil.

Everyone's purpose in life is to make themselves happy. How they personally go about achieving this is their problem.

I believe that our purpose in life is to know, love and serve God in this life and to be happy with Him in the next. Simple huh?

Well, my purpose it to keep my damned Slack! Those goddammed pinks are always lookin' to steal it. I gotsta protect it. Keep it safe.

People who help others have been found in a survey that enjoy a lot more happyness so I guess we are all here to help one other!
