The purpose of life is simple, and is easily overlooked. It is what separates us from animals and all else that exists.
To start, the simple meaning of life for animals and plants and the like, is to survive and reproduce. It is what fueled evolution and mating for millenia. For humans, the almighty creature that was blessed with thought, life has a different meaning. And it is Love.
Love is what separates us from all else. It gives us choice in mating, purpose for desire and actions. Love is expression, and it is expressed through religion and faith, and family and friends. It is the bole of all branches of what we do. We live to love and love to live. That is the purpose of life.
If one has a love of power, he becomes a leader in society. If one has a love of loving, they become a person who lives for love. Whatever we love, we live for. And we would have nothing to live for were it not for love.

what are we without love? 86 cents. 86 cents of Hydrogen, Nitogen, Carbon, Oxygen, and other trace elements. and Zylo-- nive avi. were you going for the 'Nightcrawler' look? because if you were, you rule.

The purpose of life, its meaning is never known. I never know why we as humans or other life forms exist. Think of it why do we aimlessly question and ponder on and on of questions so high that reason itself to answer them ends up being incorrect as much as we think we are correct? Mankind needs to understand that we live to move off of ignorance and gain knowledge and understanding and summarize that we as humans know nothing. Think about it. We know the easy questions, the riddles, the questions in which things come to a resolve and improve things, but the questions of the higher, the divine, the all are questions in which continue. Life is life. Death is death. In our minds we have no answers, but to say life is life and death is death. Our true purposes can and will not be ever known, our afterlife will never be known. In short life is what we live, but can never be explained to us to why we are here as well as other questions of the divine being. One will think but one must admit that we truly know nothing, as for I do not know the answer to all and I do not know anything as much as I try and argue answers to the divine.

I do agree with a lot of what others have said, but I also believe the purpose of life is not only to biologically keep life going, but also to leave the world in a state of continuum, to leave ways for other people, either kin for perfect strangers, to keep on living.
It's nice, I would think, to die knowing that you've done what you can to ensure the survival of your family, genus, species, etc.
'Course it doesn't really help to know that it's all for naught, it'll all go to flames in 7 billion years when the sun explodes, but hey, it works if you don't think about it.

The purpose of being here (for me) is so that when I die, people will come to my funeral and say "Look at what she accomplished!". My purpose that helps me keep going, is to do something for the world, for some people, for someone, so that someone will remember me when I'm gone. I think we're here to learn. Life is all about learning, look at all the school we have to go through! razz But really, as you grow you keep learning more and more, and once you die, hopefully you'll move on somewhere where you can use your knowledge. These are just my opinions... and if everyone's got a purpose, even if everyone has a different purpose, then the world should be all well.
