Implications Posted April 4, 2021 Posted April 4, 2021 (edited) Be kind. I argue against individual purpose. We must find the best way to cater to conscious things and make sure no needs are exploited. Edited April 4, 2021 by Implications

My answer to the question is the purpose of life is to get better, in a few words. "To get better" is evolution, adaption, and survival. If you get sick, your purpose is to get better. If you do well in anything, the purpose is to get better. Expand what does "getting better " mean ? I may think inversely , because I would like to remain young ,healthy and , and,....and simply static. ahaha if you are asking what our purpose would be each, I am sure that each will change one by one if you are asking what should it be,then ,well you are trying to asnwer ,but this will include risks to respond. I personally do not explain purposes ,why to do that ? because I am very cute hahahah one very important sentence will be good to share : I LOVE MYSELF , THIS IS THE RULE TO FEEL HAPPY ,I BELIEVE.

Expand Are you sure you are already good? "Getting better" can mean adapting and surviving to pass on your genes, incorporating advantageous mutations. However, you may be the exception to the rule. Are you SURE there is nothing in your life that can be improved a tiny bit through your own effort? Maybe in a few decades you will think of something. 🙂 Edited April 4, 2021 by Airbrush

Expand so,you mean if I don't get better, then I won't survive to..and won't adapt. first ,I thought (and also allege) : "being good" would differ from "getting better".

Expand Sorry that was not my intention. I mean getting better for you may be just improving something inside your own home. Anything about your daily life. Or cooking something better. Exercising to be more fit. Exercise your memory. Remember the year of important events in your life. Or saving time by not watching commercials on TV, but change the channel so you never need to look at commercials you don't like, too much. But be careful, you may forget to return to your original channel in 2 or 3 minutes! Watch YouTubes about science. I like YouTubes about astronomy and cosmology, and many other subjects. Anything, no matter how small, can be an improvement in your life. 🙂 Edited April 4, 2021 by Airbrush

Expand you...you... you.. these are not as same meaning as "getting better" ,lets see each one by one: Quote just improving something inside your own home. Quote this is : doing better ,not really "getting better",to my understanding. Quote Anything about your daily life. Expand this is presumably "doing something" but not even "doing better". Quote Or cooking something better. Expand this is doing "something" better. Quote Exercising to be more fit. Expand no,I do not do that ,because I am good/fit in this regard. you have not seen my lovely body Quote Exercise your memory. Expand I think ,my memory is exactly "good" ,and I would protect this situation. not better and not the worse is demanded. hahahah a notation: I know that definitions and more clearly "things and what do we think about those things would be effective/important in philosophy".

Expand I think that's because happy is the wrong word to use; being eternally happy is no more possible than being eternally sad; what is possible is to be content enough to accept/enjoy them both for what they are.

Expand sometimes in the past, I thought that this question might include such complex subquestions that could not even be possible to asnwer those subquestions. for instance can you describe (scientifically) how hunger was? (I think you perfectly can) and try to describe how the satiety was ? (I mean measurement,a clue : try to respond via quantitative expressions or something via chemical formulas) you will /should eventually reach a point ..but which point is really too difficult to find. (because that point will be qualitative and we know that qualitative expressions do not show their properties same at everywhere or not same to everyone) Edited April 5, 2021 by ahmet
