The meaning of Life
Why do we live? Some people think, we live just to continue our generation. But this is our animal side. We are Homo sapiens, so we need something more than just a biological process.
It is said, that we are born to have dreams. Maybe it is true, because our dreams are creations of our imagination. If I'm not mistaken it is one of the things that differ us from animals.
Some esoterics believe, each man has his own telos. And when this man reaches the telos, he may easily die. It means that, during our lives we should learn something important only for us. And when we get this knowledge or understand something our way is over.
There are many people who suppose, that we live only to live and nothing more. Their life is full of enjoyment and sometimes has no sense, but such people like it. They just lead a fast life.
Egyptian pharaohs lived to prepare for their after-life. They regarded their real life only as a kind of introduction before the play as it is. But their preparations for death are a great cultural heritage for us. 
There is another point of view. I like it very much. According to it, our soul is a particle of Light that comes in this life to fight with the Darkness. And the more of our souls come into this world the more powerful the Light is. And the more powerful the Light is the less space is left for the Darkness in our world.
And what do you think? What do we live for?

We live for ourselves.Everybody has his dreams ot his daily plans.And it's natural that we want to realize that.I think the sense of our live consists of achievement the desirable.

The meaning of life is simple to formulate - love and let love, live and let live, create and let create, think and let think... Not difficult to contiue the line. Live without losing.

It sounds like Cristian Virtues. They are universal truths of our life. There is another meaning of life that I regard as one of the best ways of living - live and create.

11 Former-Teacher

I have said absolutely the same things. But a more important thing is - live to love to live.

But it sounds like utopia. Is it really possible for everyone?

13 Former-Teacher  
0
It is not Utopia. It is everyday reality that can be seen all around. But it can never be possible for all. It should not be possible for all.

14 lovefootball)

Well, it really can't. But would it be bad if it could? Why do you say that it shouldn't be possible for all? The society would lose something?

15 Former-Teacher  
0
I guess ther society won't lose anything. Our planet is a place for controvercies, contradictions, oppositions, misjudgements, thegood and the bad, love and hatred, war and peace, birth and death. "Live to love to live" is a life principle, it's like air and food - not enough for everyone.

16 Teacher

Everything in our world exists due to a balance between a set of contrasts. That's why there is nothing that can exist without its opposition.

That's true. But something should prevail.

18 Teacher

Yes, and you will learn more about it while studing the concept of modern natural science.

19 Former-Teacher

One thing should prevail - goodness. Synonyms are - kindness, perfection, creativity, love, attention, peace, birth, support, advice, protection, understanding, sympathy and the like.

Sure, but what is a blessing for one person may be a curse for another one. I mean hurting somebody is often almost inevitable.

21 Teacher  
0
Well, I think if you live in a way of goodness, you can't hurt others. But don't try to please everybody.

22 lovefootball)

Of course, it's impossible. But we do hurt others even if we don't want it.

23 Teacher  
0
It's natural. You should embrace it.

24 lovefootball)

We should try to guard at least our closest people from that.

25 Teacher  
0
Unfortunately, we hurt our closest people more than somebody else.

I think we live only to live. But it doesn't mean carefree existence at all! Leading a fast life has nothing to do with this position, I think. Life itself with all its features is worth living.

So many questions raised! So many theories quoted! So many thoughts expressed! We live in order to create, to produce, to think, to rare, to socialize, to struggle, to love, to read, to believe, to explore, to communiate, to travel, to breathe, to fall ill, to recover, to learn, to teach, to laugh, to cry, to dream, to give birth to new people, to build...! So many purposes in life! So many ways to choose! So many things to be proud of! biggrin ...So little time to do all of these! biggrin

Time is nothing when you know your goals and try to achieve them.

5 lovefootball)

Why? Time is one of the most valuable factors, I suppose.

7 Teacher

I completely agree with you. But most of our time we think of how to spend it in a more proper way)

8 lovefootball)

Oh, yes!!!)))) We are always thinking of death, future and the meaning of life) But it's natural, we are curious)

Well, you've touched upon a very complicated topic. During the centuries people are trying to answer this question and, as we can judge, nobody has managed. We can only name different approaches and points of view, we can explain to them or argue with them, but we can't say anything for sure. You know, you've mentioned a great deal of theories, but there are also thousands that remain unstated. For example, there are people who believe that the only sense of our life is LOVE. I know a guy who can't stop repeating “If you love nobody, then what do you live for?” There are people who think that we live TO DIE. Not to prepare for our next life but just to die. As if it really matters. To tell the truth, I can hardly understand what they really mean. You've mentioned that your... let me call it favourite theory - is that we live to fight Darkness. I can't share your position. If there is really Light and Darkness in our world, then won't it be better to maintain the harmony between them? You know, people say “You can understand what the light is only comparing it with the dark. If there is no dark, the light loses its sense”. What do you think about it?

I think you're right. I remember the lectures of Mr. Melechov. He told us, that everything in this world should be equal to Golden Section. Probably, we really live to maintain this balance.
