What is the goal of human existence?
359879
Well my friend, I understand what you want, but it's a tall order since it can only be opinion and e everyone has his or her own opinion. Everybody has their own goals and if you are asking for a universal human existence goal, then you would be referring to something setup by some cosmic force or being. So there is no way to discuss a "Universal Goal of Human Existence." Without referring to religion. From an individual perspective there are many, so here are a few simple ones that have no bearing on religion.\n\nTo survive.\nTo procreate.\nTo accumulate wealth.\nTo have fun.\nTo die.\n\nOn the other hand, from a Non-religious, yet spiritual perspective, the goal of human existence is:\n\nTo expand our knowledge, growing in wisdom each day.\n\n~AND~\n\nTo leave the world a better, more beautiful and loving place then when we entered it. \n\nI hope this helps.

From a Buddhist perspective...\n\n“We live very close together. So, our prime purpose in this life is to help others. And if you can't help them, at least don't hurt them”\n- The Dalai Lama -

Assuming there is such a thing.\nAssuming that by 'we', you don't literally mean you and I.\nAssuming humanity doesn't destroy itself.\nAssuming the Universe won't end before.\n\nyes.

Humanity has developed over many lifetimes; first resembling beasts, with desires only for food, family, sex and shelter; then developing through stages of wealth, power, honor and knowledge.\n\nAt the first stage of development, desires for food, family, sex and shelter are a person’s only desires. Even a totally isolated individual has these desires and tries to fulfill them. Desires conditioned by society’s influence (desires for wealth, power and honor) emerge at the next stage.\n\nAfterwards, the desire for knowledge appears. Sciences flourish as we set out to discover where everything comes from, to find our roots. This desire for knowledge, however, still only resides within the framework of our world.\n\nOnly at the next stage does a human being desire to know the real source, one’s essence—the meaning of life. “Where do I come from?” “Who am I?” “What am I?” These questions cause discomfort and trouble a person.\n\nHuman beings are naturally egoistic. All of our desires are self-motivated and crave fulfillment. They pressure us, literally controlling our every move. The height of egoism in our world is the desire to be filled with knowledge about something above us.\n\nWhat is the source of desires and how do they appear? The source of desires is suffering. Passing from one type of desire to another happens only under the influence of suffering. If I am in a balanced state, then I feel comfortable and everything is just fine. A new desire then appears, and I feel that something is missing. Now I want to experience something new, so I start trying to fulfill this desire…and this process keeps repeating itself. In other words, I am always running after new pleasures.\n\nWe are born on this planet, we live and we die trying to satisfy our countless desires. Only after many lives do we reach the state when one desire is all that remains: the desire to attain our source, the meaning of our lives. Once this final, ultimate desire appears, everything else seems unnecessary and meaningless. A person gets depressed, feeling emotionally and spiritually empty, as if nothing in this world can bring happiness. Life seems pointless and lacking something real…“What is the purpose of my life?” “Why do I exist?” These are the questions that bring people to Kabbalah.\n\nhttp://www.kabbalah.info/

Life is what you make of it. We're all here for a reason, but that reason is different for every single one of us. The purpose of us living is to fulfill the above, to find out the reason we're here and achieve the goal in satisfying ourselves that we've found out that reason and completed it.

What would be the purpose in doing so?

None at all. The human gives himself too much importance. Essentially, the role of mankind is as unimportant as the role of rocks, mosquitos and, actually, anything in the universe. However, mankind would not survive had it accepted the absolute pointlesness of its existance and so, our elevating of humanity's status above something what it really is seems only natural.

To give life.\n\nThe Meaning of Life is the answer to this question:\n\nGod, what is Your purpose of Existence?\n\nFor God's purpose of Existence itself defines the purpose of all that exists.\n\nI asked God that question...\n\nGod answered, "My purpose of Existence is To give life. Since you are made in My image after My likeness, then YOUR purpose of existence is to give life."\n\nEverything that exists is an expression of God's thinking; thus, everything reflects God's thinking.\n\nGod gives life by His unique existence, and receives life when He gives life. All of existence gives life by its unique existence to that which receives life from its unique existence. This is Nature - the union of all living (eternal) things.\n\nYou are here to give life by your unique existence to that which receives life from your unique existence. So do what you love that nourishes those who love what you love.\n\nThis is your purpose.

I think our purpose is to exist and grow. Grow spiritually and eventually reach enlightenment.

We are the accidental products of unthinking natural processes, and therefore the meaning and purpose of life can be anything we choose.  For myself, I didn't choose to exist, but now I'm here I want to enjoy life, bring up my kids well, leave the world a slightly better place than when I joined it, and die having no major regrets about what I have or haven't done in my life.

We are social beings.  We cannot exist and function without one another.  As people we have two primary needs, the need for love and the need to achieve.  First we need to love and be loved.  Secondly, we need to accomplish something worthwhile and be appreciated for that accomplishment.\n\nThese basic needs of human beings are true the world over.  The first place a child begins to learn is the home.  The second place is in school.  The third place is the government.  The fourth place is the world of work.  The fifth place is then the world.  A child moves from home to the bigger circle of the school and society, learns there are rules (which is government), works to accomplish and earn an income, and then there is the leisure of the world.\n\nAchievements of mankind could never have happened in isolation.\n\nEach does a little part, and together we achieve far more than we could ever achieve by ourselves.\n\nSo a child moves from his or her world that is self-centered toward the real world of learning how to be happy and uselful by serving others.

The goal of my spirituality is to find the common truth that lies behind all the 'religions' of the world.\n\nI believe that a spark of that truth lies in every human being and that it is my duty to acknowledge it and seek it out through their questions, their needs, and their own sharing of life with me.
