The Purpose of Your Life

Objective
One fundamental question that most human beings faced is;
What is the purpose of life?
or What is the meaning of life?
In the absence of rational explanation, many has turned to some God's assigned and other supernatural purpose of life. While supernatural or mystical purpose of life do assist human being in living their lives, they can be abused as in suicide bombers and other negative acts of humans.
As such it is critical to establish a 'purpose of life' that is positive aligned to the core purpose of humanity and not controversial purposes.

A Life Tyranized By Unconscious Fear
For the majority of human beings, the purpose of their life had been and is tyranized & driven by unconscious FEARS and terrors that lurks within their mind. i.e. The Primordial Fear of Mortality , Terror Management Theory , Cognitive Dissonance, and other Cognitive Biases.

Purpose of Life Based on Facts
It is important that we establish the purpose of life based on facts rather than based on speculations as driven by fears and terror stated above.

The Facts
To understand humanity's Purpose within the Universe, one will need to be familiarized with the following;
Know Thyself
The Core Purpose of Life
Threats to the Human Specie
The Survival Instinct
The Common Spiritual Path of All Humans
God is a necessity for many but does not exist objectively
Reconciling religion and god with 'purpose of life'
Knowledge Expansion
Technological Progress
Space Exploration
Evolution of homo-sapiens

KIV - to list others and explain


Purpose of Life
It is critical that we analyze the purpose of human life into two significant purposes and roles; i.e.

1. Basic self-existence
2. Progressive existence

This two functions of existence and role for a human within humanity is very important.

1. Basic self-existence - Basic Role
The fact and process of reproduction of a human being is basically a fundamental role of every human. The birth of every human being is a potential to serve the core purpose of humanity. The basic purpose of every human is to ensure they maintain their survival at all costs. Thus when one is able to survive one's life cycle, one is already aligned and has serve humanity's purpose regardless of any reputable contributions to mankind.
This will enable every human to have a sense of purpose and meaning in life. This is necessary as not every one born on Earth can be an Einstein, Leonardo, Edison or Bill Gates.The additional responsibility other than basic existence is for any human being to avoid being negative or hinder humanity's progress. Examples are religious bigotry and other crimes against humanity.
One need to be a team member of TeamHumanity and at the minimum support the team if one is not able to contribute for various reasons.

2. Progressive existence
The other more significant role of any human is to be aligned to Humanity and its core purpose and contribute positively to it within one's capability and competency.

Implications
It is crucial that every human understand their role and purpose of life within the infinite universe to enable humanity to sustain its Core Purpose of Life.
It is possible for any deranged religious fanatic to press the nuclear button and destroy humanity in exchange for some speculated eternal life and rewards in a supernatural heaven promised by his God. We have already seen this possibility in the Jim Jones case.
