what is the purpose of life [discuss]

What is the purpose of life for you personally?
Let us put aside useless impratical books and talks and 'encouraging' quotes. Express your OWN opinion about life.

To me, life on earth is a torture. The faster you die and go heaven the better.

Everyday we study, (at least this is what i am aware of) and sudy with no games or entertainment because we are supposed to use our time fully to the maximum constructively and being a student is our first priority and 'job'. So we use all our time to study and do homework everyday because thats our duty.

Then there is adult life(speculation) everyday working like a peice of paper.

Which is why, the quicker and swift God can call us back to heaven the lesser we have to be tortured, the more blessed we are.

came up in the Homily this week. The priest quoted something he heard from an 80 yr old lady in a hospital. She said to live is to communicate and to help others.

davidche SG

well then what is the purpose of life to you?

This is *worse* than the mentality of early Christians who were awaiting the parousia.

life on Earth is nothing. death is the first step of your everlasting life. your afterlife depends on whether you do good or bad on Earth. we dont know whether we will go heaven.

yes, life on earth may be a torture at times. but your afterlife may not be a better life for you either. so it may not mean dying is a good thing.

FYI, this is a christian forum.

I would be heppy to stay in heaven. But since God haas put me down here, i should stay here gladly too.

Icemoon SG

But you have disappointed Him.

First you complained that life is a torture down here. Then you [reluctantly] accepted this fact and admit that you should stay here gladly since you lan lan suck thumb.

As usual,

Little David talks alot, but got no stand.
Once again, he displayed One view of his and then switches swiftly when his former cannot stand.
When he says there are people who discuss without substance. He didn't know that he's one of them?

there is no fight between living in a torturous place and gladly accepting it.

I did not change my stand. I merely added my views. In the first post i said that life on earth is torturous. The faster you die the better. The second one i said, since we still havent die(duh..) we should gladly accept living in this place.

The reason for discussion is to get a best result/ answer. Perhaps when two persons reach a conclusion whereby both are agreeable to, it is the better 'best'. It is foolish to stubbornly stand by a wrong stand, and when one realises his wrong stand, one should change it.

What is working like a piece of paper?

I feel blessed every day.....

Maybe toilet paper to wipe people's ass Mr. Green

Christ's death and resurrection does not mean that we should sit around and wait for death.

You don't wait to go heaven, but you are to bring heaven to earth by living the life God intends. You are to be that heaven to reflect God's goodness to the people around you.
