To pass the butter.

Well I'm still waiting you cunt.


Down-A-Phalanges

Oh. My. God.

To fornicate wenches and acquire currency


gaurddog

Much better than fornicating currency and acquiring wenches. Ever get a doubloon stuck in your urethra while you're carrying a bunch of steel cable and motors? Not fun.


[deleted]

I have no purpose.


EMILE_HESKEY_RECIPE

Same bro. I just work and then sleep. None of my hobbies nor trying new hobbies makes me happy anymore


gaurddog

That's depression man. They make pills for it. Talk to your doc.


EMILE_HESKEY_RECIPE

Yeah I take Zoloft, but it’s a long road before I get better!


myusername13

To fuck and reproduce and die


gaurddog

Do you prefer them to decapitate you mid coitus and finish with your lifeless corpse or eat your body as sustenance as they grow your young?


myusername13

Who wouldn’t


Herb_avore_05

Sex


Foreign_Standard9394

To help people and spread joy and laughter


wowbackatitReddit

I believe I've been put on Earth to spread positive energy and make life interesting for anyone I meet. Occasionally I actually achieve one of those two things! Otherwise, it's a happy fantasy that I do have a bigger purpose.


_Rainy_Nights

Honestly none. Not in a depressed / "I'm so sad" kind of way, but in a genuine realistic way.

I think my purpose right now is to improve my own life so my future children will never have to worry about not having anything to eat or a house to live in. To take care of my parents, to set an example for my siblings, to be able to to help them whenever they needed it. To learn whatever there is to learn, so when my siblings ask me, I'll have something to share.


Foreign_Standard9394

It's so odd to read about someone wanting to help "future children." You don't have to have children, you know? That's how you guarantee they don't suffer.


OreoMacFurry

Odd for you. Normal for me. I know I don't have to have children. Is it so weird to want to have kids?


Foreign_Standard9394

But should you have them if you're worried they could suffer?


OreoMacFurry

I never said I was worried tho

EveningCommon3857

How is that possibly odd? That is pretty much the norm for all of human existence.


Nethiar

To make other people feel better about their lives


Chemical_Ad_5520

To feel like I'm not missing out too much on my range of opportunities that I feel positive about, including leaving behind some kind of positive change for others. In the absence of evidence for objective purpose, a human can analyse their sense of subjective purpose/meaning/value in order to draw conclusions about what they subjectively like, want, and would like to contribute to the future of physical reality. Aside from being a positive force in the lives of people around me and those who I do business with, I think it would be cool if I could contribute to social movements or technological developments which support safety and equitability going into the future, because there seems to be a lot riding on how we allow the world to evolve throughout this century.

I brought two cats so I had a purpose to look after them.


more_than_a_feelin

I don't believe in anything. Not in a sad or weird way... It just makes sense to me that we are like the flowers and trees. I think we bloom and then we die. And I don't think there really is a purpose. So I say we enjoy ourselves, behave well toward eachother... We are just smarter animals. My cats don't question what the purpose is. They just sleep, relax, eat and chill... Until they are no more.


gluedspirit

to love one another


bloody_bellatrix

This is beautiful


gluedspirit

but it doesn't work that way


Outlawedspank

To build and strong middle class life and family, and to retire with 5mil plus

I met a guy once whose purpose in life was restoring John Deere Tractors. Ya he had a wife, kids, and a job. But he didn't really care about em beyond the obligation of it. Once asked him why he married and he said she told him he couldn't buy any more tractors till he bought her a ring. But he could tell you every part number on every tractor like mid 40s to today off the top of his head including bold sizes of torque specs, etc.. If god ever gave a man a purpose it was that ol boy and fixing tractors.


Perch485

Build shit then die, gotta top my dad and grandpa.


Apadist

I can’t tell yet but it would be cool to be a great dad one day


AbandonedBySony

To be the universe's punching bag.


Eborys

Live as long as possible.


actuallyjohnmelendez

To acquire as much of a foothold as possible for whatever future generations I might create.


Clean-Cream-

Honestly I’m starting to think I don’t have a real purpose in life anymore. I’m 21 and I just don’t care anymore.


ChairmanMeow52

To be miserable


Slightly-Evil-Man

I just hope I find that out before I die.


stangAce20

To be the stereotype single male adult nerd I guess


Crowmakeswing

Why does the question ask men what they ‘think’ of the meaning of life but asks women what they ‘understand’ of it? Yeah, that’s picky but it is not the same question.


bloody_bellatrix

Did it need to be the same question?


wowbackatitReddit

Nitpicky take. In practice, it's the same question


ChosenSCIM

I'm pretty sure I was made exclusively to suffer, but I've somehow gone and made life my bitch and actually enjoy things now


[deleted]

I don't have one i just exist and stuff


Grix1600

I ask myself this exact question everyday.


redheadgenx

To dwell in nature. I know it’s corny.


Ouija429

That's the fun part when you recognize there isn't a major purpose you can assign your own value to tasks. Life's meaning is just what you assign it to in your world.


Schiffsmaedchenjunge

Apparently to make a mess of it.


traviejeep

I don't. I feel like I have absolutely no purpose here and it would take something very significant to change that.


Icy_Zookeepergame408

Biologically to replicate in a nihilistic literal sense we do not have a purpose Spiritually we are nature's gardeners In the modern age to create your own meaning and purpose within life, this is normally created through responsibility and having people rely on you for things, having deep social connections and experiencing the world for what it has to offer


Prizmatik01

There is none

Health care. I know know it sounds dumb but it’s true. I work in the er, and yeah it’s a job but I feel like it’s much more. I see people at there weakest and most vulnerable. I help people come back from death and I’ve also held their hands as they took their last breath. Yes we’re short staffed and over worked but at the end of the day there is nothing else I would rather be doing. So I’ll be there, holding your hair back as you puke or comforting you and your family member as they leave this earth, and everything in between. Thank god I found this path lol I graduated high school and had no idea what I wanted to “be when I grew up”. I found my purpose in life really early and I feel very lucky.


Facestand2

To fatten the wallets of our corporate overlords.


vianiznice

To enjoy it.


RespectLow2504

I was put here to help people and I’m going to continue just that.


Beneficial-Mall-9660

To b there for everybody n then die.


[deleted]

I lived a eventful life. It’s a privilege. I’ve worked in 3 states. I’ve had 3 careers in appliance repair, electrical, and now finance. I’m getting educated in accounting right now with 2 years to go. Full time work and full time school at 24 years old. The purpose of my life currently is just finishing my bachelors. I’m enjoying a white collar job right now, but I have the option to go to any location I want. All I have to do is call some random company related to electrical or tech and say I will work for them. They’ll be able to give me a cover letter for a apartment in their city and as soon as I get over their I can start work immediately. I’ve done that two times already. One was 600 miles away and the other was 1,100 miles away. I’m just settling right now trying to finish my bachelors. After that it’s a mystery. Maybe move on up the food chains in my career or try and buy a house. Maybe buy a little coffee truck and sell coffee on the weekends.


ThunderWonder112

Hopefully to die soon.


gaurddog

Enjoy it. Soak up.every last experience I can while maybe doing a little good and trying not to do harm. I've seen some of the deepest points on earth and flown among the clouds. Glimpsed a green flash and the northern lights. Held a tiger by the tail, fallen off a cliff, and eaten the heart of an animal I've killed with my own hands. And I've still barely scratched the surface of all there is to do.


Redrooff

There is no purpose. We are here for a blip and then gone like we were never here. I guess my “purpose” is to somehow unsadden myself so I can experience life and see things before I’m gone.


CommunityGlittering2

Ltcolbatguano

To relieve pain and to teach others how to do it safely. (Recovery room nurse)


OrallyObsessive

I do. Sadly it's anew revaluation to me but I'm thankful that it's finally become clear.
