Do think we might have a purpose

Do you think that, maybe, at least some of us might be born with a predispostion to fit a "caste" in life. For instance some of use might be born more apt to be soldiers, or workers, or leaders, or thinkers, reproducer ect?

Kind of like ants. I summit this has a possiblity, I ask has anyone other then me noticed that, SOMETIMES, their seems to be a pattern?

Is it possible that we Evolved from a biological caste systems? we are evolving into a Boilogical Caste system? We are Divinly influenced? or purhaps its just one of those things you see that just don't really have any specific reason?
  • Natural

  • Ultimate Purpose in Life is to See God
    You're ultimate purpose in life is to see your Creator. Everyone has told you that it is impossible.

    I tell you this because I have met Him. Your number one goal in life is to KNOW GOD.

    He is the most Beautiful and Powerful Being you will ever experience. He is Real.

    Religion will prevent you from seeing God. As a matter of fact, all beliefs will prevent you. Clear your mind. Become aware. One day you will step into that awareness and be aware of the Awarer. The Awarer is God. That union is union with God. You will never see God unless you do it in this lifetime.

    That is your purpose: To be in the presence of God.

  • I Don't Feel Like I belong
    I really don't feel like going into detail, But I have always felt that I should be protecting, guarding, securing the well well being of those around from danger.

    This isn't because I beleive that it is the right thing to do but an instinct I also feel like I'm denying my nature if I'm not in "Guard Dog" mode. mind you I'm not paranoid I've never exspected danger I just always have this urge to be ready to protect the well being of the group.

    Sometimes I wonder if we as humans have primitive insticts that we have suppressed do to the fact we don't use them anymore.

  • purpose
    I don't know about absolute purpose. It is quite possible. There has been some science to back up that there is some kind of force behind the quickness at which we have evolved. If this has all happened by pure chance it has been shown that it would have take a lot longer for evolution to happen as quick as it did. billions of time longer. My assement of this is not to get down on my knees on pray, but to be open minded. Here is my take on life's purpose.
    Firstly, you must develope into an individual. This can take people many years of their lives, and many people never reach it. First you have no experience as a child, and therefore, you need to learn your limits. The next is the social battle you must fight. There is a drive in people to follow others. It's in most any animal that lives with its kind. Its the safe route, and in evolution it ensured survival rates. But i don't believe humans are like other animals. Even the more intelligent ones. Humans are aware of their being in a way that animals aren't. Unlike the rest of the animals, our instinct has been stripped from us for the sake that we have the ability to think abstract thoughts on our own. We feel inner anguish that is not beneficial evolution wise. Humans are the only creatures who commit suicide out of greif. We are still suseptible to conditioning, and many of our behaviors can be duplicated in rats, and elephants and other such animals. But for whatever reason their may be if any at all, we are what we are now. So, as individual abstract minded people, we must learn to stand alone for what we believe in, whatever it may be. This takes will power, logic, emotion, and basically all of our capacity to be able to do. A lot of us like to think of ourselves as something genuine, but a lot of people don't know what they want. Standing alone is dangerous, and so they follow the words of others. When you reach a point where you can stand for what you believe in, regardless of what social disposition it may put you in, no matter who you disappoint basically, when you shed yourself of fear, and understand pain you have acheived something great. You understand the truth from the lies. You have mastered yourself.
    The next step is to find what it is you want to become and go forward in that. Make all that you do pertain to what it is that you believe in. Live for that. In this way, you are fullfilling your purpose. I think that this is logical, and can be found in religious and irreligious teachings. The battle between them is not how to go about living, but what to go about living, and what is to be believed in. That is a dead end, and there is no proving what is absolute quality and what isn't. Quality is met between the objective and subjective.
    I think this level of purpose is obvious. The real questions lie in where your perception of what you want to become comes from. Does man alone decide what man will be, or is their a soul, or an inner perpose that needs to be met in the individual, and is free will an illusion, i cannot say.

  • Collectivism
    the objective of life is simple
    support those around you and they will do the same

    you are connected to all that it is, and thus it is your responsibility and you are it's responsibility. and there is your purpose and meaning

    all the world needs to be a horizontal collectivist society

    so i sincerely hope that all you individualists out there perish and become extinct as you are no use to anything beyond yourself and thus have no purpose.

  • WE CREATE OUR PURPOSE
    I think that throughout life we develop our own purpose. It might not be apparent to us until later in life, and we'll ask ourselves why we didn't know this before. Our experiences, and lessons shape what we will be in the future. Sometimes it's how/who/where your brought up.
