Through the ages it has been asked what is the meaning of life,what purpose ? I would answer it is to inspire. To inspire at least one other person in this world to good. One need not know this person, in fact better that you do not, to keep your actions untainted. You were placed here to as a sort of guide. A guide to life as it were. It is a responsibility and a burden. First we must learn to conduct ourselves accordingly. And then show another the way. That person may be your son or daughter. Perhaps the neighbors child. It makes little difference, for you don't need to know. The only reason for knowing would be to satisfy your own ego.
Now, with some, the satisfying of their ego spurs them on to greater things, and with others it causes them to wallow. And so that condition is dependent.
The challenge lies in living your life to satisfy this purpose. To receive the instruction we are provided and apply those principles everyday. It is through this method that we inspire. To instruct by example. Who is your inspiration ? It may, or may not be one. That is a further complication to the state we call life. Would we know whom to emulate, it would make the whole process easier. Sole inspiration is a rare thing. There was one that was perfect in his example, and certainly someone to emulate. Unfortunately, we will all fall short of that mark, but that is the condition of being human. Doesn't mean we all shouldn't try. That is a function of religion however.
Perhaps this definition of the purpose of life is a fabrication of my own desires. I would like to think I could provide inspiration to at least one. In this way I could obtain immortality, of a sort. These are my thoughts and require further study. I've got time. Maybe I'm just here to keep another company, who knows ?
