Are there any special purpose in our life other than eating, drinking, sleeping, making merry, quarrelling, amassing wealth, criticising others and such other silly things?

"Purpose" is a subjective concept. It's different things to different people.

You make it what you want.

you make your purpose. if what you listed is it for you, then no, there is no other purpose. if you can find another purpose, then yes, there is another purpose.

Teaching, learning, going somewhere new, changing my mind and the minds of others and so much more.

The physical things, eating, drinking, sleeping, are not purposes but biological necessities that are common to us all.

Being loved and loving others is purpose enough for me. All others things, creativity, job satisfaction, etc. are to attain this purpose.

This is exactly how I feel. If I can feel fulfilled, feel like I'm discovering new things, and learning new ways to grow, then I'm happy and my purpose feels like it's being met. You're beautiful inside and out, TT.

@PolyWolf back atcha PolyWolf...part of feeling fulfilled and having purpose is meeting complete strangers who feel and live as you do...glad to have done so...

If you haven't created it, no.

That sounds to me like a wasted life. It's important to be happy, but it's at least as important to help others, to broaden your horizons, to protect the environment, to advance civilization, and just generally to leave the world a better place.

Personal growth. I think most if not all things flow from it.

No.

You need to supply your own meaning aside from all the biological requirements. The Dalai Lama suggests that helping others provides meaning, and if that's not possible, don't harm others.

The fundamental purpose of all life is propagation.

Sure, anything YOU want to make. It is mostly entirely up to you.
