My question is this, what is the point to life?

Is the point to life money? Everyone seems to only care about money and people seem to go to college just to get a better job to make better money, so is that what lifes is all about? I mean if someone won the lottery or was born rich does that mean their life is already complete since everyone else is out trying to make theirself a better life to make more money?

Im not philosophernstuff but uh I think the meaning of life its pretty much different for everyone. Some may say the point of life is to live it to find that answer.

Money is a big part i think as it does actually make the world go round, without it there is no life but with it can also make you take life for granted, the balance as with anything is always best.
Its sad that money is what they say the route of all evil, life is all about doing things that make you realise how alive you actually are, takeing the risks and liveing in the here and now. A smile is free and lasts longer than money, its just a shame that not everyone know that, or seems to know that

You live your life so that someone remembers. Best way to describe it I suppose. You live so that there is always history.

the point to life is a basic question that as you have seen can have many answers. I would like to explore that for a second.

Everyone answers a little differently or agrees with someone else blah blah blah this post shall in just a moment go into cliche oblivion. The answer seems simple. the point in life is what you discover your point to be. I believe this on two levels.
1) on a religious level– my religion or at least what I believe of it teaches that the point to life is to find that small or great part of the world you must fix and fix it after that you have no point and usually die or get a reward. Each person has a unique opportunity to change the world.
2) Absent religion i still believe that is true. everyone views the meaning of it all differently ergo its all different and everyone cannot be wrong. so i believe it different for everyone.
