Meaning of life

[Frankline Orwa]

I agree with the author 100% that the meaning of life is to create because everybody out here is the builder if his or her own life so if he/she wants a happy life its their duty duty to build that happy life if they want a sad life is also there duty to build that sad life because trust me there is no one who will come to you and tell you "Hey dude I want you to start leaving a happy life or a sad life"
So I agree with the author that the meaning of life is to create it

I agree that part of life is to create, especially since we always seem to be creating something. I just do not believe that is our whole purpose. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and opinions.

I see the authors point. Creation makes life interesting and easy, without being creative I don't think the world would be where it is today.

I agree with you, life would not be where it is today if not for creation. I think we are constantly creating something, so it is a huge part of the meaning of life. I do not think it is the sole meaning of life though. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

The author states that the meaning of life is to create. Do you agree with this, why or why not? As an interesting aside she also uses the six days of creation (discussed in last month's book forum) as an example of how God created in six days.

I think the meaning of life is to reflect God's qualities in our own lives. We can make an impact by the things we choose to do. For example, we can make beautiful things from our natural resources. We can use language in a positive way.

I think the meaning of life is to be able to find true joy and inner peace within all circumstances, and then to hopefully convey that to others. I believe that vulnerability to fellow man plays a big part in this because it allows everyone to let their own guard down and truly interact with one another. And that is to me what life is all about; to love and respect our fellowman and to sharpen one another to grow in wisdom and knowledge.

I totally agree that the meaning of life is to reflect God's qualities in our own lives. I also believe we were made to create, new memories, new thoughts, ideas, as we continue to reflect Him. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

I also believe that part of our meaning of life is to create. We are constantly creating something, new ideas, new books, new texts, etc. I cannot see life without creating. I do believe we are to love and respect each other, reflecting God's love to all. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

I agree with the author that the meaning of life is to create. What we create is up to us. We can create a world that loves, cares and sacrifices, or we can create a selfish world where each being is on its own. What we all need to see is, we can create a good present that can influence and lead to a great future or we can just be ignorant to the bad around us and let the future be worse than the present. For example, we plant a sapling and do a good deed as that sapling will grow to become a tree in future and provide shade, oxygen, fruits and flowers, in the same way, our sowing the seed of goodness will lead to a promising and prosperous future.

I agree that part of our meaning of life is to create. I cannot imagine life without the idea of creating things. I love how you say we should be creating a good world, so to speak, I agree with that as well. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

Honestly, the contributions here are amazing and offer different perspectives. But they're just opinions and that's all they can be-- opinions.

I don't think there's one answer to what the meaning of life is, but it certainly means something to each of us. Take it and cherish it if you find purpose in it.

It only goes to show how unique every individual is and how different our roles in life are.
Cheers!

I believe the meaning of life is achieving whatever purpose you are supposed to fulfill on earth. I tend to believe we are here for a reason. Dying means that that purpose is served. Basically as long as you are alive you are still fulfilling your purpose and when you are done you die.

I do believe that part of the meaning of life is to create. We are constantly creating something, new memories, ideas, posts, texts, etc. But, I do believe that each of us also has the purpose for which we are here. I also agree that it is difficult for a lot of people to agree on what the meaning of life is, because of our different backgrounds and religious beliefs. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

I do believe that part of our meaning of life is to create. We are constantly creating something. But, I also believe that we are here for a reason and working to our purpose. I also agree with you, once our purpose is complete, then we die. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

this is a really interesting idea and I'm really fond of it. reminds me of a game I heard of which states at the end that the meaning or point of life can be one of a few options depending on the person. I don't remember all of them but I remember happiness and creation. some people find themselves in creation but others might not.
personally however, I very much agree that creation is a strong meaning of life and it can be proved by many ways, I do find my fulfillment in creation!

I do believe that part of our meaning of life is to create. We are constantly creating something, so it makes sense for it to be part of our purpose. I do not believe it is our entire purpose. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
