What is the point of life?

Deleted User

For much of my life I was always working towards something. As a kid it was doing well in school so I could go to uni. At uni it was doing well so I could get a good job. At work it was working hard to get promotions and pay rises and career progression.

But then at some point you have to ask yourself what the ultimate goal is, because no matter how hard we work, life is finite. It will end. Money, possessions and titles are no use when you’re dead.

Maybe we should stop telling kids to strive to progress and instead tell them to enjoy their moment.

  • I can appreciate this question. Thank you, A, for starting this conversation.

    I feel that this very question is the beginning or leading edge of a new perspective or discovery. I've been living in those questions for the past few years particularly in 2024. I feel every aspect of my being of who I thought I was and supposed to be doing has been unraveled or is unraveling. Rebirth and death of everything I thought in LIFE, my INNERVERSE or PURPOSE was to be. I am living in questions that I have no answers for. I am living in only the moments of my most authentic expression of the moment. Maybe the point is to be our true selves and live in our truth unapologetically no matter what. Liberation and freedom is to simply BE and EXIST.

    Maybe it is coming to terms that WE ARE ENOUGH!
