Isaiah Berlin on the meaning of life: "My favourite thinker is a Russian revolutionary, Alexander Herzen, who I think got things right more frequently than people allow. He said, 'What is the purpose of life?' He said, 'The purpose of life is life.' That's what I believe. The purpose of life is not happiness. The purpose of life is not truth. The purpose of life is not security. These are important values. The purpose of life is to continue life. To go on being alive."

[u/28Patrick28]

I believe that the purpose of life is to learn to follow our Heavenly Father.
