im gonna go with Ele and say that feeling good and being happy is the way to go. reminder that this doesnt mean im going to shoot up a school or do whatever i want disregarding the law or whatever; maybe teaching makes me happy, or playing basketball makes me happy (or joining ISIS makes me happy if you want that side of the argument aswell). taking into account the long term consequences of my present actions allows me to make better decisions which will also make me happier, and maybe constantly worrying about my future makes me happy aswell. wanting to feel happy does not necessarily imply yolo lifestyle

this is probably a stupid answer though since even if you have a specific goal it will bring you happiness when achieved, so happiness includes everything. nobody wants to be unhappy

I just watched the movie Freedom Writers.

Make a difference in someone else's life. That's the key to true happiness.

Life isn't about getting to a destination where you get to know everything & your purpose, life is about the adventure, & the friends & fun you'll have during it

Even the simplest things that make you happy in life can fulfill your purpose, whether it's science, or throwing seeds to birds, you'll be happy, & that's all anyone needs to care about.

I wrote something similar in a thread a while ago.

The man in the church says our purpose is to please the creator.
The lady in the science lab says our purpose is to find out how it all works.
The philosopher says our purpose in life is to give life a purpose.
Nature says our purpose is to reproduce and continue our species.

Life, objectively, has no purpose or meaning - we just are. We exist because over the ages we have managed to survive and keep existing. But subjectively though, it's whatever you make of it as shaped by your past experiences as well as the environment, influences and biases around you.
The purpose of life, to me, is to find joy, conquer fear, live morally, make a difference in the world, help others and then be proud and happy when it all ends and live on in the memories of my friends and family. In the long run and the big picture though nothing you do will matter so just chill and enjoy your time.

I'm sure my perceived life purpose will change as I get older, to say it won't would be naive I think. But I hope I keep to a similar philosophy and general outlook.

i don't think we as humans are special snowflakes we are merely a spec in the universe i mean saying that we are important is ignorant and i don't think the goal of life is to "be happy" if your goal were to be happy then you could simply do coke and off yourself and don't tell me that's not true happiness because it is since happiness is just what our brains do to help us live
do you matter do i matter no does the human race matter in the whole scope of the entire universe nah but i do hope when we do die there is something more than darkness even if that means you are forced to live in pain and agony for the sins you committed anything is better than just darkness

I try to be positive. The cool thing about human emotion is that it's highly contagious.

Therefore, being happy can make others happy, and that makes life easier.

so true

All the Bayonetta 2 I've been checking out might be fueling this post but

The will of the world can be driven by human hand, making life less useless in our eyes.

god i love being a pacifist

my life has been horrible the last couple years, and last year was the absolute worst

the only reason or "purpose" i even want to continue it is to keep an eye on my family,
watch them grow and persevere, but it's kinda difficult with shit hitting the fan all the
time.. i don't want to watch them suffer more, but everything is struggle after struggle,
it's something i need to accept, but i just fill my life with distractions in the form of
"entertainment".. i read novels, read manga, watch anime, watch movies, watch shows,
try to play the guitar, try to play the piano, play video-games, socialize online, draw,
and try a lot of new things that are presented to me..
since it's been going on for a while, i've ended up growing attached to some things, and
i guess they can be counted as other "purposes".. like wanting to know how a series i
follow ends, what other creative conceptions people can bring to life, and just; "what's next"...
