I hope we live a life that is worthy of leaving a legacy behind when we are gone. I do not see the harm in having fun while we are here, but I do not believe that our purpose is to only have fun. I do believe that part of our meaning of life is to create, as the author indicates. Thank you for sharing your opinions.

That is an interesting perspective, thank you for sharing. I also believe that part of our meaning of life is to create. And, unfortunately, we are all subject to decay. Thank you for sharing your perspective.Sekhmet September wrote: ↑30 Apr 2021, 01:40 I agree that the purpose of life is to create. Or rather, defy entropy. Everything in the universe is subject to entropy (decay), and in order for us all to continue there must be a creative counter balance to this decay. This is the creative force.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts! I agree, none of us choose to come into the world and we do long for a purpose and direction. I agree too, that we are to know the Creator.

Yes, when I first read it, I wasn't so sure, but we are constantly creating stuff. We are to create a lasting impact and hopefully leave a better life for the next generation.

Yes, that is true. It is funny because since we have started this topic, I am seeing different thoughts on creating everywhere! Thank you for sharing your thoughtsCynthia Olyy wrote: ↑01 May 2021, 07:55 I strongly agree with this opinion. Even when we assert that life should be engaged with activities that please us, no matter what they are, we fail to recognize that these activities, directly or indirectly, tend towards creation. We, at one point or another, are in the creation process—for either value, time, money, or life.

While I can agree that we all share a common virtue that we are human, there is so much more to us than that. We are constantly creating, thoughts, memories, space for things we love to do, posts such as these, emails, texts, ideas, and so much more. I agree that we do not need ultramodern cars and other things, but we cannot exist without creating. It is literally impossible. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.Kashyap Shukla wrote: ↑01 May 2021, 09:13 Honestly stating that meaning of life is to create is ambiguous. Humans are complex beings but we all share a common virtue that is humanity. The compassion we have for other beings and organisms is found nowhere else. Humanity defines us. The ultimate meaning of life is to continue the practice of humanity in society. We don’t need ultramodern cars or trains or luxurious houses but what we need is someone to talk,someone to laugh out loud with,someone to share pain, someone you can rely upon. We need humans to strive and survive. So I would disagree with author on thought that meaning of life is to create,it is rather to live as a HUMAN, a human with bountiful of humanity inside him.
