Personal quote of the day: In life we search for a purpose but isn't the purpose of life just to live?

ok well this topic was give to me to rant on by my friend alec. if you got topics about philosophy or something that i can rant on let me know.

Ok well i was talking to alec and we discussed why people should live and not give up on life especially if you are young. he said because you haven't expereniced everything yet and that you haven't found your purpose. i told him i have which i won't go into detail cause most people would think i am insane.

anyways here is my thought on the purpose of life:
Life is a precious thing that no one really understands. everyone thinks that they have to have a specific purpose in the world and they spend their whole life searching for it. WELL THERE YOU GO YOUR PURPOSE WAS TO LOOK FOR ONE. no really i don't know if we all have to have a purpose other than to live.

the definition of purpose is:
–noun
1. the reason for which something exists or is done, made, used, etc.
2. an intended or desired result; end; aim; goal.
3. determination; resoluteness.
4. the subject in hand; the point at issue.
5. practical result, effect, or advantage: to act to good purpose.
–verb (used with object)
6. to set as an aim, intention, or goal for oneself.
7. to intend; design.
8. to resolve (to do something): He purposed to change his way of life radically

and what the purpose is of things that are natural not man made is opinionated. who are we to say what something is if we didn't make it? if it was there before us? life's purpose is one thing that is opinionated. the purpose of each individual varies. but if it varies then how do you know what your purpose is? can't it just to simply live. hasn't anyone ever thought that the reason you are alive is just simply to live. living in this world it self is a challenge, a goal. living is something you have to work for it isn't just handed to you it is handed to you with a ton of strings attached; strings like emotions, pain, hunger, stress, joy, greed, hope, faith, etc. therefore with the work and struggle can't it just be to live, to experience the world?

i think people over think it; if you really must have a purpose first start of with a mission. self reflect on your life so far, your strengths, weaknesses, pain, fear, pride, and most of all your interactions with people. not only are people your peers or just there they are the past, present and future. don't forget people change and affect the world. if you want make your purpose or mission to be a good doer then just start of with your friends and family and then branch out. you don't have to be a hero just try to make a little difference everyday to benefit the common good.

self reflecting and gain valuable morals and lessons new experiences lead to a open mind that can help you find your purpose, though i am not saying you will for sure i am just saying it helped me. just try and live for the moment and as if there is no tomorrow. finding a purpose can take away the most precious thing every human has, life.
