What Do You Think The Purpose of Life Is?

Well, this isn't a post that can be answered its one that can be thought about.

When I look at the life, I see two different paths that must embark on.

The Purpose of Experience or The Purpose of A Calling

These are two different ways to approach life in totality.

This isn't to say you can have both, do both, be both, etc... It is just a way of thinking about who or what you are more of.

For instance, those more on the purpose of a calling resemble:

• Leonardo Davinci
• Nikola Tesla
• Steve Jobs

These are people who didn't necessarily live their life fully and freely, but instead had a path and purpose and aimed to fulfill it.

On the other hand, the experience based life shows itself in:

• Extreme Sports Athletes
• Avid EDM Fans
• Musicians

Again, this isn't to say that you can only have one purpose or one way of going about life, but it is how you tie all things together in your mind. 

Now there are so many ways which these combined whether it be seen in Richard Branson, The Techies at Burning Man, and many other events.

In my mind, it is something that when thought about allows you more peace of mind.

It lets you see how you function and what your function by.

Could There Be One Purpose?

Maybe.

There might be many different purposes that all stack together, or that have nothing to do with each other.

In fact, we could just be put here to build out the technology to the point of taking us over, purported by some technologically advanced being that wants more of itself, but can't figure out how to create it.

Or on the organism level, we may be microscopic and inside a more substantial organism similar to Osmosis Jones.

Granted, there's also the theory of energy and its efficiency, evolution, cosmological expansion, so on and so forth.

This is just another question to ask yourself.
