I agree with the author to a point. I think you make valid points. We do have to create our own happiness and we choose how we respond to situations. We also create memories. I had not thought about creating love and money...although if we get married we create a family with our spouse (whether we have children or not, we are a family), and create a home. We work at a job to make money and I guess that is creating income so I can see your points.

Thank you for sharing your perspective with us. You make very valid points. We are always creating and hopefully always growing. We do need to make or create something that can be passed on from generation to generation. Regardless of what that is. Interesting thoughts.Brock Naquin wrote: ↑18 Apr 2021, 19:47I agree because if we didn't create, what would we build? If we can't build, how can we grow? We can't grow how can we successfully pass it all down? It all starts with “creating” goals, steps, etc… I fully agree. Life is all about the correct path, but in order to make sure the right path is, well the right path, you have to build the foundation to make it fit your needs, so you don't have so many Obstacles to go around.

Thank you for sharing your perspective. I love the way you expressed your opinions. I do believe that part of our purpose is to create. I also love that you pointed out we share God's creative attributes. I had never thought of it that way before!Njatha77 wrote: ↑20 Apr 2021, 01:58 I completely agree with the author. I believe that the purpose of life is to create, and we do it everyday both intentionally and inadvertently. Every thought is a form of creation and everything we do too. Also, I believe that the aphorism "as above, so below" is accurate, and we therefore share God's creative attributes. That and, His instruction to "go and multiply the earth".

Thanks for sharing your perspective. Your thoughts line up with quite a few others that have shared here. I like how you said without creating life would be meaningless and boring, I agree with you completely! Every new thing does make life interesting.Heidadela wrote: ↑20 Apr 2021, 07:47 I agree that the meaning of life is to create. To create lasting memories, create happiness for you and others. Create a promising future....it's all about creating because without creating, life would be meaningless and boring. Creation means new, every new thing makes life interesting, and when life is interesting it is worth living.

I like that. Thanks for sharing your perspective and I see your point. It kind of has the feel do to others as you would have them do to you, the golden rule feel. Typically when someone shows us kindness we want to do the same for others. It is creating more and more kindness, it is the ripple effect.Hiru1998+ wrote: ↑20 Apr 2021, 08:53 I agree with the author. For me, the meaning of life is helping the suffering people. It can be in anyway. In finances, in health, in listening to their problems. Isn't it simply creating happiness in others? And when you are kind to someone, the kindness goes on. It's like creating more and more kindness. That is the meaning of life for me.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts and opinion. We do seem to always be creating, memories, social status, money, or whatever. We are social beings and we do need other people to thrive and co-exist.Trevor Ayombe wrote: ↑21 Apr 2021, 09:34 Yes, I agree with the author. The sole existence of life is to create. Take a look at it from a different angle, we are social beings and we need other things and people to live. We can create for ourselves or others but in the long run, whatever is created will always influence others just like the creation story that shows all were created to co-exist.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I agree that we should try to make a worthwhile impact on the world, hopefully creating meaningful and lasting memories. I am learning there is so much more to creating than I first imagined.Godspraise Precious wrote: ↑22 Apr 2021, 11:47 ''The purpose of life is to create." While I believe this means that one must create, in order words, make a substantial impact on a certain area is true. Well, regardless of what exactly a person does, we should all seek/strive to impact or effect worthwhile change.
