Re: The Purpose of Life is......
Maryanne:
That is an interesting question. To me, this is a religious question at its heart. I always thought the purpose of life is to develop spiritual attributes so you can function in the next world. Much like a fetus develops physical attributes such as arms and legs in the womb, we are here to develop our spiritual arms and legs to function in the next world.
To that end, our job is to become better people in this world, and sometimes tests and difficulties, such as cancer, help us become better people. It is the struggle that makes us stronger.
Or I could be all wrong.
