So, a topic I've been hearing a lot lately offline and online, is the idea of purpose here on Earth. Some people take it religiously than others, some feel it is more aimless than others, some feel it is more inevitable than others and some just feel very unprepare to answer the question.
I'm sure you all have a little to say to the purpose of people on Earth, on why you are here in particular, or even to extend to the purpose of why other creatures and plants and non-humans are alive. Do tell! I'm curious to see the different views and to answer how you came to believe in such things would be very informative too! x3

My purpose on Earth? I'd say it is to live. To be a human being. To communicate, to live my life to the fullest and to burn up brightly when its at it's end.
That is my purpose. To let people know the things I know, to know the things I know. To exist for the sake of existing. We are given but one life and to squander it away in search of a purpose would constitute as a crime. If one's life has a purpose, it always presents itself in one way or another....

lol, Nommie. Squirrels.
Anyway, Jewlie, I'll be the religious person you alluded to. "Adam fell that men might be; and men are that they might have joy" (2 Ne. 2:25). Yes, it's true, the Book of Mormon states it: Man's purpose on Earth is to have joy! Just what brings about joy, you wonder? Obedience to God's commands would be my answer. "Do not suppose, because it has been spoken concerning restoration, that ye shall be restored from sin to happiness. Behold, I say unto you, wickedness never was happiness" (Alma 41:10; emphasis added).
If that's not enough, how about this one: "For behold, this is my work and my glory--to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man" (Moses 1:39). That's the Lord speaking to Moses face to face, by the way.
