What is the purpose of human existence?

[Divine Power]

Why are we here, what’s the purpose of our lives, and how should we live to make our time meaningful?

The purpose of human existence is to hate niggers

Or were you looking for a serious and sincere answer? I honestly don't even know with this board at this point

 

[Fek]

In order starting with your title:

To be.

To have a human/physical experience.

To accept and learn how to overcome each challenge life presents as fully and lovingly as possible.

Become conscious of each precious moment and all the joy it contains. Alter personal mindsets into a state of greater positivity and gratitude. Love yourself and thy neighbor. Say "yes" to what life offers in the full faith that it is leading you to your best ending. Unravel the mystery of who you are, and be that fully.

 

[Mexican Molotov Marauder]

To meme on my enemies until they cry. And then make memes of them crying.

 

[oldTireWater]

“To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women!”

 

[David Brown]

Gathering resources and energy in order to discharge them

 

[AbyssGazer]

Life can not be said to be meaningful nor meaningless as it's non dual. Life is all there is. Meaning and meaninglessness are simply two concepts contained in the infinity that is life. Meaning is meaningful, meaninglessness is meaningless.

Well, @Divine Power just went and marked the majority of replies with disagree
Not sure what your game plan is
If you are looking for a serious and sincere discussion, let me know, I like those
If not, consider yourself a black gorilla nigger for wasting my time and contributing to the buildup of waste in Deep Thoughts

The purpose of all life is to live long enough to succesfuly reproduce, and in the case of K selection, ensure that the offspring is physically and mentally healthy enough to reproduce on its own.

Also, can be more simply expressed as "The purpose of life is to secure its own existence."

Most if not all human endeavors can be traced back to this goal. Even seemingly unrelated things like entertainment or storytelling originally started as a way to teach morality and lessons to offspring.

Before boomers came around and decided they'd live forever the betterment of society more less existed to ensure the next generation would be better off than the previous one.

 

[VeteranOfTheRetardWars]

The purpose of life is to do good, and to figure out what that means in the first place.

 

[Chicha Drinker]

To serve and worship God, and in the process of doing so, understand our place and who we are in this strange but wonderful world

 

[White_N]

Reproduction.

Get fucked.

 

[%%%]

If you think about it too much will end usually end up with a variant of "nothing"
@Oilspill Battery is correct though. If you resigned from reproducing then life is open-ended and you can set your own goals

Because I was intending the thread to be serious and you are trying to fuck it up with trolling you miserable faggot

 

[XL xQgg?QcQCaTYDMjqoDnYpG]

Because I was intending the thread to be serious

Well, I'll take your word for it
Thus, I'll reply accordingly

The thread title "What is the purpose of human existence?" and

what’s the purpose of our lives

both presume that "purpose" is something baked into existence like a hidden message or divine edict
My position is that this is not the case
Rather, purpose is made instead of found
Life, existence, and reality simply "are"

Why are we here

You're here because two people reproduced. And you're alive because your body continues to function. Sounds cynical, but I call it clarity.

and how should we live to make our time meaningful?

The good news is that, because you are alive, because you are aware, and because you are capable of action, you can choose
You can define values, you can pursue meaning
And if you care to live, aka go beyond merely "existing", then you should pursue what sustains and enriches your life, while respecting the equal agency of others
I would argue that this is the basics for ethics as a discipline, namely to live as a rational being in an objective reality that does not cater to whim

So if you want my take on how you should live: Use reason. Produce. Interact voluntarily. You don't owe your life to the tribe, the government, or some spectral deity. You owe it to yourself to not waste it.
Meaning comes from what you build with your mind and your choices. The rest is just noise.

And next time you make an OP with such a gigantic and broad question, in just one line, without any clear indication that you intend for a serious discussion to happen, then don't be surprised when it is actually you who is the miserable faggot
Deep Thoughts gets shat up with insincere threads all the time, and yours had all of the markers of an insincere shitpost thread and no markers for the contrary
Writing good and insightful words takes time and effort, and I hate doing that accidentally in what turns out to be a shitpost thread, or a thread where OP just drops a question and never interacts with the thread afterwards

There is no purpose. A purpose is a thing given to a tool by the creator of the tool. It's not even guaranteed if something is created. Some creators create things without purpose, because that's what they do... just create things for the sheer hell of it (artists, mostly).

I would not want to have a purpose in this sense. I do not want to be a tool/slave. Others seem to be lost without one, and it's somewhat incomprehensible to me. Is there not enough to do? Do you feel empty inside without divine micromanagement?

I do not have purpose for my children either. They exist because I love them. They can go out and live their lives and be happy. I've provided guidance on how to live a good life and to be happy, and so far it seems sufficient.

 

[Lemmingwiser]

Your purpose is to develop your inner divinity. We all have a soul and a body. We can harm it. We can develop it. You should develop and take care of both. The place to it is here. The time to do it is now.

You should align yourself with benevolence and not align yourself with evil. You should judge evil, in yourself and others.

 

[Otterly]

I dont know. In more reflective moments I think maybe it’s to experience and learn.

To accept and learn how to overcome each challenge life presents as fully and lovingly as possible.

And yet this is so very hard to do. Perhaps that is also the point.

 

[Mound Dweller]

You can image higher or lower purpose but the simple reality speaks for itself; the only purpose to life is life itself, whether or not you see that as a good thing or not depends on how you view a partially filled glass.
