Purpose in life? Is there any purpose in life?

?

If we are to make some observations about our lives, we see a purpose in anything. For instance, tools, equipments, houses, parts of houses, garden, traffic lights, road signs, laws and many others all have a purpose.

When we come accross with something that we see for the first time, the first thing we ask is :"What is that for?". You will confirm me. As you see, we always seek a purpose in anything we see or experience.

We retort when we don't find something having a purpose. Even activities aimed for amusement do have a purpose which is amusement though it does not yield material outcomes.

So, the big question is: "Is there a purpose with this universe as far as we can observe?"

Before, answering this question, let's make some observation on the current picture we have. We, humanbeings have a very nice home moving in space and taking us for a space travel with all of the providence we need. We have sun illuminating us, giving us heat and cooking our food in every spring time.While seeing that the planets around us are without life (similar to ours) and water and plants, our earth is colorful and full of life as if specially chosen for habitation.

Each year countless animate beings die and in spring time the same are born and welcome their life. Similarly, each year many people die and babies are born.

Having mentioned these matters, could it be possible for such a place exist without a purpose with all these programs and plans with a smoothly running system? Could so much be wasted for nothing?

Could  man with so many material and emotional/spiritual capabilities be without a purpose having been cast onto this world? or do we have a purpose?

Could  such a sensitive and balanced system be without One establishing and sustaining the system? Could such a universe be attributed to causes or coincidences which have no authority other than strictly obeying their program?

If we accept God is responsible for this Creation and Control, then what is the purpose with regard to God? Why did God create this universe and man?

Then, why do man exist and what is his purpose?

In order to have an idea about these matters, read this article which deals with these two basic questions. The article gives the answers by means of an illustration which is then applied to reality.
