Big question, but what do you think is the meaning of being alive?

It all seem like random happenstance- on a massive scale- to me. We are just a tiny blue dot; a blip in the universe’s relative concept of time. A mere droplet can cause a tsunami across the ocean, yet most of us just riding the tides.
Or maybe it’s tastebuds. I really like food.

I love what you wrote

We are here to Love, and to discover and find your truth. Loving and honoring yourself. Loving and honoring others. Knowing that the other side of pain and suffering eventually turns to love and acceptance. Everything is fleeting. Time stops for no one. Be in the moment. Love is truth and truth is love.

Awe, I love you too!

This sounds weird, but I feel like everyone has their own meaning or purpose in life and that’s the right one.

Some people may believe they’re here to fulfill their gods wishes, others may believe they’re an accident. Some people may believe their purpose is to find the meaning of life.

I choose to believe all of them are right for themselves. We’ll never know the answer until maybe after we pass, but we all want to have a purpose. So any meaning people come up for themselves to stay on this earth a little longer for themselves and the ones who love them is the right one to me.

This is such a sweet answer ☺️

The relationships you build and maintain with the people you care about, and how you strive the leave a better world for them once you’re gone.

This is not a complete answer, but I also thjnk part of it is recognizing that we cannot fully understand why we are alive. This will depend on your faith system, but I believe that there is a greater power that knows the purpose and it is nearly impossible for us, with limited intelligence and extremely limited perspective to understand this.

I think the way the moon turns is in a cycle. The activities that happen within the universe in general seem cyclical and in orbit. Like that, life is also in orbit. It grows, flourishes, dies, then goes extinct, only for the world to refresh itself and give birth to a new species. There is no manner just arbitrary cycling. Depending on what we did the most, our bodies evolved. If we come back next time and do something else, we’d all be shaped to suit that style...

I believe there is no meaning. It's up to you to chose what you want to do and how you create your own purpose.

Walk with the Lord, and contribute to humanity in a positive way like Jesus Christ.
