Why do we live in the particular way? what is it that we live for? what is the PURPOSE of what we do?? what is the purpose of life??
As quoted by Agent Smith, the purpose of life is to END.. but i dont agree.... if life was supposed to end an only end, why was it created in the first place? that cant be the purpose of life, the meaning of life itself is contradictory to its purpose.. so to end cant be the purpose of life... if its purpose is to end, it doesnt have a purpose....
But then, if ending is not connected with the purpose of life, why is it so crucial that a life has to end, it absolutely has to.. if to end is not its purpose, why does a life end at all?
i think the purpose of life is to exist.. to exist, to survive... and to survive for what??
the answer is Self-Respect.. weird?? wrong?? confusing?? maybe true?? absolutely bullshit?? makes some sense??
But yeah, i think we live for self respect.. atleast i do... i wont do anything that wud hurt my self respect.. i shudnt be made to look down upon myself... i shudnt feel that i m letting myself down.. i shudnt do anything that makes me fall in my own sight... thats wot i live for...
i live to preserve my self respect.. i agree i have done stuff b4 which contradicted all this... but i now know wot my purpose of existence is... and i will try to live up to that purpose.. to preserve my self respect...
But then i ask... 'The purposeof life is to preserve self respect' sounds fancy.. we are humans, we have a conscious acknowledgement of self respect.. do the lower organisms have smtn like that?.. they dont have a capacity to acknowledge smtn as self respect... but then they way they live is itself their self respect.. i have heard somewhere that tigers never eat animals which are not killed by them.. is it not a form of self respect?? nature has given them that way.. u may think its stupid an there must be a scientific reason behind that... but thats wot i think...
so finally i have reached a conclusion in a blog.. (desnt happen much).. but i have quoted here:
'The purpose of life is to exist and exist in such a way so as to preserve the self respect'
One day, this wud be cited somewhere as thoughts of great ppl... ;).. an i wud proudly give lectures on this.. (goin off too high am i??)..

In Sanskrit it is called Asmita! split Asmi and ta

i think this is pretty common abt people who "think"
unfortunately i think life is just the byproduct of evolution. thts the worst thing. no purpose.
i think the need people feel to have a purpose is just b'coz we associate this need to our self importance. in the sense that having a purpose is superior or something.
coincidentally, i had written on very similar question. see my english blog-topic "nightmare"
#1 what gets created would get destroyed eventually. (Consv of mass in this univ??). So ending is deftly not the purpose.
#2 Everyone has a purpose, so hence they were created.
There cant be a single purpose to all of the beings. They are the specifications were are designed for. Our purpose is to meet those expectations. But however, if we can somehow add the purposes (in whatever way possible) of all the human beings, it sums to nothing.
Bottom-line, the purpose of life is the give-take of various aspects with various ppl.
