why are we here?
I guess this question could have a lot of interpretations from superficial to deeper levels, and so there’s no one single “correct” answer 🙂 Not that I’ve been obsessed by it or something, but it hangs around at the back of my mind once in a way, and some answers pop up now and then in pretty random ways…
Yesterday Murali had come home and we were playing Enigma’s [The Cross of Changes] CD – one of my favorites. Then we had a look at the lyrics in the cover – at this song Out From The Deep. I thought this answer was pretty cool…
We came out from the deep
To learn to love, to learn how to live
We came out from the deep
To avoid the mistakes we made.That’s why we are here !
We came out from the deep
To help and understand, but not to kill
It takes many lives till we succeed
To clear the debts of many hundred years.That’s why we are here !
hmmm… pretty deep :).

WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF YOUR LIFE
Hi..
First time here…nice blog…
And thnax forstopping by at my blog..
I think we are here to have fun. It’s just that learning to have proper fun takes so many time and effort that not everyone lives until the day of ‘Ultimate Fun’. 🙂
hmm looks like a lot of different answers 🙂 …thanks, quite nice to read them! Well another one a colleague had theorised was that there might necessarily be any grand purpose after all, living life is a purpose in itself.
As for me, I feel that just living happily, naturally and spontaneously without having any grand purpose in mind – but simply following one’s own instincts – is the best option and might possibly reveal a purpose over time.
I feel that there’s probably a pretty good reason for me to be *exactly* where I am now, with whatever I have including all its limitations, and I need to try to make the best of it – now.
