…and try to refrain from the happiness answer. I’m struggling trying to add meaning to my life…and I need something more substantial than “to be happy.”
Where do I go? What should I do? What am I doing wrong? How can I find my purpose and what exactly is the point of being on this earth?
I certainly know hardly anyone can answer this with certainty. Just…someone give me something to think about or do…

I have no idea either. Love? Joy? Survival?
Exactly. Too much to even really ponder. Bleh.
Yep
Hey i hope you don’t mind but i’d like to invite you to my blog at http://www.insanitybeautiful.wordpress.com
Sure! Thanks!
As I see it, life is the opposite of chaos, entropy- wise. Life is creating order and works against entropy. That’s giving the living planet around us purpose, we humans are a part of it.
That’s interesting! I’ve never thought of it that way. So you think the purpose of a life of a human is to make order out of entropy?
In a way. I think one purpose could be to fight chaos, nothingness, and understand oneself as guardian of life, the whole planet, maybe beyond. It depends on a person being religiou, philosophical, scientific, or all of it, how they do that. Works for me in the way that I try to live in the moment and make the best of it.
Honestly, I find that the best way to live is to help the people around you. I’ve not lived a particularly wealthy life, been in love, (honestly never even had a girlfriend), or any of that other great stuff. But I help people where I can, and that in itself keeps me happy, gives me direction, and gives me hope.
That’s a very good answer. 🙂 Thanks for sharing. I tend to agree with that…helping people is the one way to assuredly make a difference.
