What Is Our Purpose On Earth? A Worth Reading Thread by vaxx: 5:40pm On Jan 22, 2018
A very philosophical and thought provoking question, and it may take the entire lifetime to find the answer.But it is not worthwhile to move forward and discover our possibilities,which as a matter of fact are unlimited? yes, unlimited.

ALL other form of creature have limitations except the human form .A plant will stay as a plant,flowers will blossom and die out and another will blossom again. a dog is born as a dog and die as a dog.in between birth and death. it possibilities are largely limited to being faithful to its master. the spider has been making the same kind of webs his predecessors made.the birds have been making the same next for millions of years. Meanwhile we humans have progressed from those primitive days of haunting with a club and eating raw meat to these modern civilized days of aircraft, computers, restaurant etc....

it is not a small achievement to set foot on the moon , to discover another planet different from us,and we are making breakthrough into the unknown. day by day.......

so what is our purpose on earth ? all advances and discoveries reflect the materialistic aspect of our purpose, and we have achieved tremendous material success.but it is only one side of the coin ...our entire nature moves according to the law of opposite. after days comes night , and heat after cold and death after birth .imagine if this law of opposite began to malfunction ? NO night after day, no heat after cold,and no death after birth .could we survive in such a scenario?the best bet we will not. then how do you think we could survive without the opposite part of the materialistic purpose , without the spiritualist aspect of the two fold journey of life on planet earth?

Excellent and thought inspiring. Vaxx Sir, your positive thought provoking topic deserves to be on the frontpage

We all know by now that the law of life is spiritual and physical movement. Man cannot remain immobile like a hibernating toad in the prolonged trance of one-sided Atheism. He has to get out of it at some time or other. He has to associate with his fellow humans or with his family or with the world at large on both levels, spiritual/emotional and physical. Therefore, he will sooner or later be brought up against the serious limitations of sterile materialistic Atheism and the economy destroying characteristic defects of dead-end arguments.

Most of the Atheists material deadends are serious and important. The sincere truth seeker who has never met with them, or having met them has never had the courage to face them adequately, can never rise beyond doubt, but will put a premature end to his quest and remain a smug and self-satisfied Low-Level Atheist who can only copy and paste comments to remain relevant and faithful to his group and therefore limit what the OP is getting at.

Our purpose on earth is to have reverence for all of creation and to worship the creator.
I respect what you commented elsewhere, "Hippocrates , the father of medicine said it is nature that cures and not the physician. If our nature is ruined, what will be left for us ,we the inhabitants? ....... All disease are due to accumulation of toxins and waste in the human body, material that are accumulated through the inorganic food we eat, polluted air and so on . hope you are aware of the recent genetic modified food? ask yourself why all these?..."

Just examine the global suffering that the Atheistic mind set engendered by science, has heaped on humanity.

The Big question
1. How do you know your purpose on earth?
2 Where can you accomplish that purpose?
3. What company do i walk with to accomplish my purpose.
4. What is your purpose on earth.

The funniest and saddest thing is that many died without acommplishing that purpose.
1. They discover it late
2. No helper in the journey( Good mentor)

Thanks. God is the Answer. He created higher Animals with Consciences to know Good and Bad and to serve His Pleasures here on Earth. And after, we return to Him wherever, whenever and however He chooses.

This answer question 1 to 4. The pure definition of religion is purpose. once you realize your purpose in life, that is the day you are tuning religious.it is true that all human were created equal,but each of us is gifted with unique talent.there is something only you can do , and no one in this universe can do it better than you .there is no duplicate of you in this world , there never was nor will be, since you were made to fulfill a certain need of the universe. True understanding of religion begins with the recognition of that unique talent in you and you are the only one who can discover it from within yourself. what are you really good at?

create a picture of the life you want,keep your vision fresh in your mind.think about it every day.write your vision down on paper and paste it to your mirror , do not give up on your vision .no matter what is happening in your life,keep it alive and let the energy brew inside you. Believe in your vision .pour your heart into your vision. and last advice, take action.if you want to be a comedian you have to do what comedian do.be funny.

Whenever this question pops up, the regular answer that's supplied pushes people to a wandering path....and they get lost the more.

Our purpose can not be defined outside our abilities, and when these abilities are super-imposed by divinity, we optimize our abilities. Therefore, our purpose like Solomon concluded is to love and fear God, and then optimize our abilities as we put them into effective use, bless and transform our world, impact people with our gifts, become our very best, use our selves to the best of our capacity ( not acquiring the best ) and keep the focus on God. Shikena !

we have moved ahead at full pace toward materialism , we have grossly neglected that other side of nature.
SPIRITUALISM. for ages we have been walking in darkness neglecting the light ,indulging in physical pleasure of body and mind but forfeiting the spiritual sensation of our real nature.A gross imbalance exist and the result of manipulating this law of nature is clearly evident in this world we live. Admittedly,there are more comfort for the human body, thanks to science and technology . more gadget to please the mind,yet sorrow,pain and sickness are on the rise. are these not a strong evidence to say science and technology is not enough. we have forgotten the opposite side of materialism which is spirituality......
