To get as close to my true self as possible.
I'm on a life-long quest to finding the EXIT from this matrix. For this I have to become the supreme lord of Holy C
On a cosmic timescale, facilitate a world with minimal suffering and maximal fulfillment.
Help each other.
Everyone is born evil, the purpose is to realise we're one. It's a long cycle and we've done well in the last 100 year vs 1000 years
Hard disagree. I think we're born stupid, that's very different.
Honestly, your comment sounds a lot like the "original sin" shit that the Christian church tries to push.
Nothing. Purpose implies the potential for failure and while there are certainly circumstances that I would consider personal failures, there are none so great that they would invalidate my existence.
That said, I have a vision for my life and the state of the world that I would like to see realized. I want to see a world where climate change is taken seriously and recognized as the imminent threat that it is. It will be waiting on the other side of every economic crisis or war that man chooses to wage.
To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate the beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch Or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded!

I don't have one. I just do what I can to be a good person and that's it. And I'm ok with it.

I used to be flourishing as an artist. Now I'm just trying to not end up in a camp within the next 4+ years
To spend time with the people I love.
To be exploited in every way possible.
ideally producing scientific research and art but in practice I'm just trying to minimize my own suffering :/
Pretty sure that's what everyone is doing. It helps to help others, where we can, in my experience. Focus on love, beauty, goodness. We can hyperfocus on the ugliness and easily fall into the abyss of despair, rather than the abyss of freedom (within personal constraints, obvs).
To spread my genes around, mostly
Stop licking every railing in the Eaton Centre, please.
The purpose of life is to live.
My purpose in life is varied and technical and super-great.
To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentations of their women.
To work for some asshole and make just enough money to get by.
I'm just here to raise entropy.
Spite a bunch of fuckheads and make some cool software whilst not forgetting to have fun along the way.
To enjoy myself. What exactly that means, changes over time.
To be happy and enjoy things, and to make others happy in return! โค๏ธ๐
To reduce human suffering by some degree, even if it's insignificant in the big picture.
To enjoy the world and minimize how much I prevent others from enjoying it as well.

To end it peacefully
My purpose in life is to produce poop and pee. I work hard so that I can afford food and water so that I can eventually poo and pee. I have an urge to reproduce so that my children can also poop and pee.
