What's the point of life?

[dusken]

Sure, before he changed his mind. What I said does not necessarily support the idea of the will to power being a singularity.

[spiral]

It is similar.

and the reason I said fullfillment was because it sort of covered all the bases, including will to power, which may have been fullfillment for Nietzsche, to which he did not even come close to. (It seems)

The very purpose of our life is hapiness, in order to achieve happier days, happier weeks, ..years, happier family, happier human community .. we should pay more attention to inner development.

[Darorinag]

Some people are happy with spiritual stuff, some people with material stuff. But I agree that the underlying goal is happiness and to add to that, enjoyment.

[töö____müch]

If striving after worldly sucess were really productive of permenent hapiness, then among the many people in this world endowed with power, wealth and friendship, there would surely be some blessed with a large measure of real and lasting happiness. Whether we are ric or poor, educated or uneducated, whatever our nationality, colour, social status or ideology may be, the purpose of our lives is to be happy.

thanks for all of ya'lls adivce...I will have a talk with my brother this weekend

[ianenergy]

dear inna maybe you could tell your brother that the point to life is to live in the present to focus on wnat he is doing at that particular time and the most important piont to life is to be try to be happy and have fun whatever it is that he happens to be doing in that moment in time. I know this might seem like a consept that he would find difficult to understand but in the question that he has posed to you it proves that he has a high level of conciousness he is already contemplating his own existance maybe you could find an examlpe from your own life where somthing bad has happened to you and out of that somthing good has happened good is everywhere if you look hard enough for example you could tell your most wonderful little brother that even though at this piont in time he feels homework is pointless that if he continues to study when he does leave school and college that he will be able to pick something that pays well and somthing that he likes doing and therfore will make his own point to live and that this will also help him in the greatest point to life and that is to be happy im not sugesting that you need money to bee happy but if you have money it is easier to have more fun also you might want to teach him that he is responcible for his own happiness if he can learn that he is a long way ahead to start with, try this for now tell him a little bit at a time and allow it to sink in. it is possible that if you give him too much info at once he will focus on the wrong thing. On a personal note i would like to say that i admire the love you have for your family along with your brother you are a true diamond keep being possitive and true to yourself and your brother will learn from your example le me know how it goes good luck ian

Life is a sucession of lessons that must be lived to be understood.
