With great courage, I am opening this cliched yet most unsatisfactorily answered question - "What is the purpose of our life" to the learned audience of this forum.
I have thought a lot about it and have spoken to a number of people about it and still have not got a satisfactory answer. This should not be contrived as my being an ignorant or obstinate or a hardcore critic. The reason of my search for an answer is that people have given me answers like - 1. serve the poor, 2. Do your duty (?), 3. Be a good guy/neighbor etc etc. Obviously, this is not the set of answers that truly could be the purpose of our life.
Is there a common goal? Is there a different goal/purpose of life for different human beings? or is it simply to live, struggle, produce, grow old and die?
