Today, as I sat at my desk, I contemplate life and one of its biggest question. What is the purpose of life and why were we born. Why live if we know it is only going to end one day,by some form of death. Some examples on why I believe we live A. We only live to work so we may make money then inevitably die. B.We are living to learn all we can only to die and take that knowledge with us. C.We are merely living for our family, whether our biological family or those we choose as our family, then we die. D. We live only to struggle our whole life then die. I want to know why, I am unable to truly define the meaning. Our creator, whatever god you choose to believe in, does not give us the answer to this question. Why would he not tell us why he made our life seemingly so short and limited. It seems maybe someone is toying with our lives, with us. Do you perhaps know an answer? I would love to hear your opinions on this question. Thank you in advance for your participation.

I'm inspired by an answer I just read. My first encounter with death on sl coincident in rl was with a fashion designer, I was in love with her clothes and bought dozens of them (unluckily I can't wear them anymore). I was genuinely sorry when it happened even though I didn't know her personally. Death always surprises, even if it is part of your life constantly and you think about it. Earlier this year a good rl friend of mine passed away, he was healthy but ***** happened. I wrote my first last will when I was 33, since then I have updated it every now and then, deleting and fixing, depending on what I want to leave and to whom. What sort of relationship do you have with death and have you ever written a last will?
