I wonder.

What happens when there are no more enemies to “crush,” Monsieur General?

Maybe contemplating the meaning of life will lead one to understand that the Earth isn’t indeed at the center…?

I don’t buy into the whole procreation is the purpose of life thing.
Great men like Einstein, Newton, and others never bothered getting married or having children, and they sure did a lot more for this world than most.
I read this the other day and it made sense to me:
"The meaning of life differs from man to man, from day to day, and from hour to hour. What matters, therefore, is not the meaning of life in general but rather the specific meaning of a person’s life at a given moment. To put the question in general terms would be comparable to the question posed to a chess champion: ‘Tell me, Master, what is the best move in the world?’ "[/quote]
Einstein was both married,and had children.

since einstein never solved this puzzle and stephen hawkings at the same point what makes you think your gonna have any impact on humanity by spueing out something when it will never be definative.
life is life may be you should get one rather than spending your waking hours with the other philosophers with all their “insight” letting it pass you bye.
Purpose is to Live. Nuff said.

Negative, I am a meat popsicle.

The laws of physics may not be the only controlling forces in the universe. Life might be evolving all over the place too. The universe may be dynamic and could be changed like a programmer changes a script. I just don’t fall for the “it is what it is” approach to the universe. Somebody or something created it and most likely for a reason. That is what we are trying to understand and I can see why. That is why Einstein spent so much time trying to figure out his string theory.
Anyone who ever reads Nietzsche (really reads, not browses) will ever be the same again.
Nietzsche was one of the very first to question the ‘axiom’ that living to make others happy was the purpose of life.
Live for yourself. Live for the Superman who is to follow you, the one who truly knows that your purpose is determined by YOU.

As far as I’m aware,String theory originated in the late 60’s or early 70’s.That would rule out Einstein.What Einstein was trying to achieve was a Unified Theory.

easy.
find a nation that has weapons of mass destruction and commence crushing them!
remove the chain, cause that’s off it!
lol.
I would also love to just let loose a fireball here and suggest that:
all this talk of life is an accident, the purpose of life is to reproduce, we should just have fun and be happy, etc.
All of these are ideas from a morally bankrupt, hedonistic generation that wants to accept no responsibility for its actions.

My bad. Basically I was just trying to say that there is a big picture and we can’t see it.
Actually, The Purpose of Life is a book, I don’t remember the author but I know for a fact it is a book. So ha, im right.
But for the way you mean it, I don’t think there is one purpose in life, though to me the most logical answer is to reproduce.
It seems many of you have missed the forest for the trees here.
This was written for a friend who is going through a confused time in her life where she isn’t sure what her purpose is in life. As in she doesn’t know what she wants to do with her life, career-wise, and just kind of unsure in general about life.
The moral of the piece is to seize the day, and live a life worth living by your own standards, not by someone else’s.

For all the people who say the purpose of live is to reproduce, does that mean a man or woman who doesnt have kids has a life with no purpose ? [/quote]
Take a wider perspective. Death needs Life for all it kills to grow in.
Like it or not we are all someone else’s meal. Whether it’s the mosquito in the forest, bacteria in our digestive tract, the virus in our sinus, or the demodex mites living in our eyelash follicles. When we die, we are an even bigger feast.

Reproduction may not be in the name of physical children, it may be an abstract concept, or a lasting monument, or empite that carries on. That can be percieved at something you foster, grow, and care for. In essence it could be the “child” some of the greatest people lack.
