Ray Charles: Genius

Every person on this earth has a great purpose they are going to fulfill throughout their life. I believe my purpose here is to serve God for what he is calling me for. It took a while to know that he was calling to me to become a nurse, and every day that goes by

To see the world, things dangerous to come to, to see behind walls, draw closer, to find each other, and to feel. That is the purpose of life”.- Walter Mitty (Movie).

In Christianity, the purpose of this life is to better your relationship with God and to know Him better. This is also proven in Job 22:21 that if you align yourself with God and are in harmony with that relationship that you will receive good things in this world.

I had decided that life was too short to spend time thinking about why we might be here, especially since we will never know the truth. Over the past semester, I have learned that it is important to think about these things. Even though I haven't decided what I believe the meaning of life is, it is important that I have taken the first step and started to establish my positions.

If something like an object or living being exists it then has a purpose for existing, but finding out this purpose seems almost impossible. The concept that people live for a purpose is strange, and if so what would this purpose be? A story called The Nine Billion Names of God, by Arthur C. Clarke offers a purpose for the human race to accomplish.

I believe that everybody has a reason for being. According to the book, "The future belongs to God, and it is only he who reveals it, under extraordinary circumstances" (Coelho 106). God has set plan for people, but many forsake it. For example, many people are unhappy with their jobs because it is not their reason for being. Another important quote to me is "it's a force that appears to be negative, but actually shows how you realize your personal legend."

I believe that everyone on earth has a purpose. Everyone’s life on earth has a meaning

Finding one’s purpose in life essentially gives meaning to the existence of each individual. Some existential philosophers argue that each person has a predetermined purpose or reason for existence which they must discover on their own as they live their own lives. However, such reason is not an absolute certainty; instead, it is significantly

I believe we are more than just ordinary humans living without a purpose. I believe we are stories. I’ve been alive for 16 years. Over the course of my, currently, short life, I have experienced thousands of stories. All the little things in life can be turned into a page of my memory.memoir. In every book;, there is plot, character, conflict, scene, and setting. If you think about it, our lives are kind of like books, and we’re the stories. As we go on with the plot of life we encounter many characters (some relevant and some not), we face many conflicts, we travel across many scenes, and we move throughout copious amounts of settings.

“As far as we can discern, the sole purpose of human existence is to kindle a light in the darkness of mere being” (Carl Gustav Jung, n.d.).
