Meaning of life

[Nichole Kurns]

I somewhat agree with the author that the meaning of life is to create. I believe that we are sometimes put in situations/environments that cause us to create. I think that life has various meanings that leads to one’s life purpose.

I agree with the author on this. If we are speaking truthfully, all around the things around us are a result of mans creative God given nature. From the houses we live in, offices, parks ,gadgets ,cars we drive and further on. I think the very existence of man will be defeated if we fail to create.

When I first read it I was like, yeah, sure, whatever. However, after further reflection and listening to what others have said here, I do agree that part of our purpose is to create. I like how you said, "I think the very existence of man will be defeated if we fail to create." I think that statement holds a lot of value. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and opinions

I think that our role on this earth is not only to create but it learn and grow as well. But maybe that is creating in some form or another.

I think that is a valid thought. It does seem that create or creating can be used in a variety of meanings, and they all seem to be connected. I do think we are to create, and also to learn and grow as well, contributing something (creating?) lasting and hopefully meaningful. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

I believe that there isn't just one meaning to life. Everyone's life with have the meaning and it will depend on their experiences. For instance, some people's meaning might be to inspire others to create.

I agree with you, that there is not just one meaning to life. I do however believe that part of all our meaning is to create. I am creating a post right now. I think it depends on which definition you chose to use for the meaning of create, as to whether you think we create or not. I do agree that some people's meaning might be to inspire others to create, something a friend said to me yesterday inspired a blog post that I ended up writing, but she creates her own things too. Thank you for sharing your perspective

I agree with the author, but only if we don't use the most literal definition of "create." Some would take that to mean we must procreate or we must create something solid. I don't think that is the case. I think that if we even just create happiness in others, that's the meaning of life. You don't have to create something tangible, you just have to affect one other person's life.

I agree that to live is to create, but to create does not have to be literal or tangible. Yes one can create a family or new technology, we can also create thoughts, ideas, and memories that we choose to keep to ourselves or share. We can create pollution and hate, and countless negative creations too as humans. But we do create. So to me to live and to create are synonymous whether for better or for worst.

I agree with the author. For me, the meaning of life is definitely to create to make a significant difference in the people you know, to change your environment. I believe the author didn't mean only tangible things, but to make a difference in diverse areas.

I agree that creating does not have to be literal or tangible, but in most cases it probably is. I also agree that living and creating are synonymous, as you said, whether for better or worse. Hopefully, the goal is for it to be on the better side! Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

I believe that creating is part of the meaning of life, just not the whole part. We do seem to always be creating and I agree that creating is not just tangible things. I also think that we should be making a difference, not just in diverse areas, but in all areas that we encounter. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

The purpose of life is to create- the sentence can itself be taken in so many ways. It does have to be something huge full of meaning, it could be something simple and innocent too.
And like most people said, we do pick our own meaning and creation

[Eriny Youssef]

Depends on what you create. As a human race, we already have the entire creation to take care of and maintain. I believe that's the bigger part of being alive. Creating new ideas? New perspectives? New approaches to take care of life? If that's what's meant by creation, then maybe yes.

I do believe that part of the purpose of our life is to create. I agree that sentence can be taken in so many different ways. Some people think what we create has to be tangible and full of meaning, while others think it can just be our own thoughts. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

I was with you until I started reading other people's thoughts and it shifted my perspective. I believe we are always creating, memories, ideas, etc., but I think that is only part of the reason we are here. I agree with you that we are to help take care of creation and help maintain what is there, but also making an impact on the world while we are here. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

When I read this book, I was somewhat convinced by the idea of the author is "Meaning of life is to build and modify his own environment according to his perspective". I enjoyed this book but the meaning of life for me is not as that for the author!
