Philosophical Friday
This week I am posing a question:
“What is the purpose of life? How do you ascribe meaning to it?”
Please reply seriously or in good fun.

The only meaning I can ascribe to my life is one that challenges me and makes me happy.

"You will never be criticized by someone who is doing more than you. You will only be criticized by someone who is doing less than you."
I think that’s something we all create on an individual level, but on a broader scale, I don’t see any sort of overarching purpose for all of us, aside from perhaps propagation of the species from an evolutionary perspective.

Thank you for your response! And, to add… propagation of the species has made us an overpopulated planet! I’m not sure how we’re supposed to handle this in years to come.

Life is to complicated so might as well go with the day to day flow, always in the back of the mind have a plan B, but do go day to day. My great thought.
Very interesting your blog. Appreciate you passing by my crazy blog.

What is the purpose of life? Gosh, I don’t know, I’ve been thinking about that for as long as I could remember until now I’m starting to think there will never be an answer. I would like to think that my life has meaning and what I’m doing is helping others, but I’m not sure, I think life is rather meaningless. Not a very hopeful answer but doing the best I can to live everyday!

If you’re helping others, your life has meaning. There’s no greater way to live one’s life than to help a fellow human being. You’re doing great by giving back!
