Question: Isn't the goal of life just to breathe?

( Back )

Answer #1:

Who on earth told you that "the purpose of life is to function"? What a load of cr*p.

Answer #2:

The goal of life for men is to have fun. Playing xbox, drinking beer, sex, and eating mostly.
Womens goals are to provide all the things needed in order for men to have these luxuries.

Answer #3:

The goal of life is to experience it and live the best way possible. If the only purpose of life was to breathe, why do we have people, food, clothes, cars, etc?

Answer #4:

The goal of life is to perpetuate the species. Everything else is just plain luxury. We are meant to be born, to reproduce (and thus ensure the survival of our species) and die. THAT is the goal of life, and that is what animals strive for. Of course, we as intelligent beings, have created needs based upon the progression of our technology, because we wanted to make life easier.

Answer #5:

If you are religious, then your religion probably tells you why were are on earth. If you are not religious, then you have to determine the meaning for yourself.

What do you *need*? Some people would rather be dead than be without love.

Animals, even lowly non-animals like amoebas, need air. Do you have goals beyond those of an amoeba?

Answer #6:

Basically -- yes. That doesn't mean we should do nothing with our lives, how sad if someone wanted to just do nothing with their life. I guess some people do that, but I personally think that's boring. Humans are the most intelligent creatures on this planet, there's a huge advantage to that, so embrace it and try to enjoy life.
