      It’s to overcome challenges and become a better person. To not live like an animal, to have morals, strength of character, treat others well, help other people.

      Basically the opposite of what the TV and social media is telling us.

    To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate the beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch Or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded!

    To enjoy the world and minimize how much I prevent others from enjoying it as well.

      Everyone is born evil, the purpose is to realise we’re one. It’s a long cycle and we’ve done well in the last 100 year vs 1000 years

        Hard disagree. I think we’re born stupid, that’s very different.

        Honestly, your comment sounds a lot like the “original sin” shit that the Christian church tries to push.

          Well I’m probably wording it wrong or you’re reading it differently.

          But, what I mean is every individual has their own journey towards their maturity when they realise helping others is the way to go.

      Pretty sure that’s what everyone is doing. It helps to help others, where we can, in my experience. Focus on love, beauty, goodness. We can hyperfocus on the ugliness and easily fall into the abyss of despair, rather than the abyss of freedom (within personal constraints, obvs).

      If I made it with honesty and care, it may not change the world, but it surely changes the people who will do it.

    My purpose in life is to produce poop and pee. I work hard so that I can afford food and water so that I can eventually poo and pee. I have an urge to reproduce so that my children can also poop and pee.

          It’s a solved problem: metamucil.

          Every poop good, good poop is no longer special.
