To collect experiances, no matter if they are good or bad.

To do whatever it is you do to the best of your ability and to make sure that you are satisfied with what you accomplish.

To survive as long as possible, and to reproduce. Beyond that, there is no purpose. It is what we make of it, and that alone. Abstract thought is our gift, our curse. But the universe is indifferent.

The purpose of life is to pay taxes.

The meaning of life is to never understand the meaning of life, because once we understand the meaning of life our lives become meaningless.

Life is merely a holiday from eternity.

Easy, the meaning of life is to simply live.

How you choose to is up to you.

The purpose of the short 80 - 90 year life we know as a human's on earth is to prepare for the afterlife, which is much, much longer.

"This is only the beginning." - Ghandi

"The purpose of my ministry is to see people die with smiles on their faces." - Mother Teresa

"Radiant beings are we. Not this crude flesh you see." - Bhudda

"And to the one who doubled his talents the Master said, 'Well done, good and faithful servant. You have proven yourself faithful over little, now I will make you ruler over much. Enter into the joyous kingdom of your Master.'" - Jesus Christ

"If there is no afterlife, and you prepare for it, you've lost nothing but rather might have lived a more selfless and generous life that benefitted all those around you. If there is an afterlife, and you don't prepare for it, there will be Hell to pay." - Unknown

Bhudda? I could've sworn it was Yoda who said that...

Quin Haden's post (second from the top) is correct.

To fill the disgustingly small ammount of time you are on the earth with the things you enjoy, whatever that may be.

To live within the reality you are presented in a manner that does not producesw lifes antithesis (ie Death).

Thesis- Birth
Antithesis- Death
Synthesis- Sex, Drugs, and Techno WOOT

"Ultimately, man should not ask what the meaning of his life is, but rather must recognize that it is he who is asked. In a word, each man is questioned by life; and he can only answer to life by answering for his own life; to life he can only respond by being responsible."

-Viktor Frankl

A little excess existential maybe, but it fits the bill I think.

I asked my unborn child what it wants for itself as it starts its life.

My unborn child said, "I live, I need, I want, I take, I hurt, I die."

Sometimes you just write what comes to mind.

To take every day as the first and the last, anything else is a waste.

The purpose is my happiness to be achieved by productive work among other things.

It is to be happy through the enjoyment of achieving goals in which value is gained for yourself.
