If all you do is live and die, then what was life's purpose

if it was to reproduce, which I never did, I will just be gone. Why was I even here?

    In my opinion the meaning of life is to be as happy as possible and to also spread happiness to make the world as happy as possible as well.

    My life's purpose is to find, and nurture a cat of the Siamese variety.

    You’re overthinking it.

    Why should anything require a purpose. Purpose is just a man made concept, and all human concepts are a joke as far as the universe is concerned.

    The purpose is to live. What you with it is up to you. Interpret it any way you like.

    There's a likely chance we weren't put here for a purpose. A good purpose I think is worth having is to advance our species. Maybe one day we will find alien life and we could say stand proud of what we are in comparison.

    To awaken in spiritual consciousness, and self-actualization.

    no purpose at all. you are thus condemned to determine for yourself what that purpose is - with the freedom that comes from your life having no purpose comes the dreadful responsibility of deciding for yourself what that purpose might be, and not shying away or making excuses for the fact that your life isn't as glamorous or as meaningful as you think it should be. making your life meaningful is your responsibility, and whether or not you choose to act in accordance with that or hide behind god, your country, or blame mom and dad for that fact that your life sucks, in the end, you always had a choice, and everything you've done up until now has been largely the result of your own choices. even refusing to act and hiding from your responsibility is a choice, you are never not making choices until the day you die.

    The purpose is just to have fun. In dire straits, you make life as best as you can.

    Lots of stuff fits under "fun". Toys and games are fun. Friends are fun. Life fulfillment is fun, too. Having a family, volunteering and helping others, doing a hard day's work, etc can all be fun because feeling good about yourself, who you are, and what you've done is fun.

    Don’t mean to sound like an asshole: But wouldn’t reason you be here cause “Your Parents Fcked each other one day”??? That’s usually how kids are made: Mom and Dad had sex?

    Your life is ultimately useless on a grand scale.

    That's why you need to set your standards a bit lower to obtain any sense of forward accomplishment.

    That's why my goal in life is to build a kick ass homestead that stays in the family. Its physical use and function outweighing my limited potential in my lifetime.

    I personally think just enjoying your life and making the best of it is the best you can do. Once we're gone, nothing on Earth will matter to us any longer anyway.

    You were/are a pawn or place holder! No real purpose, just as a sacrificial lamb or block/obstacle for others to avoid and go around. Lol!

    To be absorbed by grey goo.

    You answer is partially in your question. To live whilst you can. To enjoy that life. Yes, I would say to reproduce is a part of it (So long as you don't have really fucked up genes) and perhaps even to leave the world a little better than when you entered it.

      I have the fucked up genes. But that doesnt mean my family line ends. Adoption is valid and bloodlines is an outdated standard. Creed and values are far more important as a longevity position.

    Once you have kids your mindset changes and you realize everything isnt about you. When you're younger your world view is more about how things affect you personally. You're more individualistic. But when you get kids you instantly start looking out at the world and start thinking of the collective a lot more
