Why are we born ?

What is the purpose of our life ? To enjoy ? To suffer ?

God is the giver of all life, maybe if you ask Him He might answer you

I believe we have no ultimate, divine purpose, that we just are. Others believe differently. It's therefore quite subjective.

Are you asking just out of curiosity for others points of view or are you searching for your own path?

the answer is something to do with magnets, chocolates, and neckties.
seriously now, you shouldnt ask "why are we here" a better question is "why am i here"
becausei dont believe we all have one collective purpose that is within our understanding, yet you can find your individual meaning and calling in god.

I agree with cal, you have to find your OWN meaning of why you were born. There may however be a reason why we are all born "purpose of the human race"; but I believe that the more important is the "why I am born" because if you find YOUR purpose in life you can move on from there and help others find their purpose and live your life moving towards that goal and living happy.

Just something that I have found very interesting is that when one views the life on Earth. Vegetation, insects, and animals. Just about, if not all, life has one big driving goal behind them. Which is to reproduce. The other goal is of course to remain alive.

I'm here simply because my fathers ship was in port and my mother was a waitress in a small San Diego cafe. He did what any good sailor would do...he swabbed her poop deck.
