I don't believe my life has purpose, per se. I am an accident of nature and as such I have no more value than any other living thing. If it has a purpose at all it is to care for others and educate others to do likewise. Its difficult to think that but also provides one with a sense of freedom. My particular set of atoms are arranged just for me. What do you think?

We make our purpose in life
We decide it and follow it
even if it winds up being watching sitcoms

The purpose of your life is to become a link in the chain of human existence. But if you dont, no big, others will. And you do have much more value than other living things, you have a long and rich ancestry, be proud of your past.

We have a similar post on here today-what gives us purpose? I do everything I can to promote social justice and advocate for people's social, economic and medical needs in my community.

Sounds just as good as anything else. If that's what works for you, that's all that matters.

You are a fluke of the Universe.

I agree we don't have a purpose, we are just self-aware and as you say an accident.

I have been in situations in my life when I have been called upon to act 3 times it was to save a child and once I was an utter coward I didnt seem to have any thoughts in my head at any of the times it was as if just instinct carried me through and afterwards I couldnt really piece it all together what had happend , it was as if it was happening ot someoen else - the 3rd child never died he was rescued by someone else. I don't have any whooh factor about it the one I carried down a mountain I couldn teven hand over to the mountain rescue people at the bottom I was just clutching him so they had to prise my arms off him - I think soemthign else takes over some inner will or strength . And as I said I was once a total coward and ran away.

If you won't your life to have purpose make it have purpose. No one lives you life but you. Seek what you desire.
