Lifes purpose?

People are ruining themselves, what can we talk about, what kind of salvation of the world, the salvation of a drowning person is the work of the drowning person himself.
 
I am how I choose to be, I can be of benefit to my fellow humans or I can be a detriment. I choose to be of benefit
 
Why? Why are we here? What is the human purpose of being here?

If you believe in, G-d (myself) I ask this question a lot. What is my purpose of being.

Love to hear your thoughts on the subject.
I would honestly love to talk more with you on this subject and pick your brain about Judaism as someone considering conversion.
 
Pick away. Conversion starts with you and asking yourself, Why?
I was hoping for something a little more private than a public forum, but I don't think I can dm with this account yet, sorry. I have asked that question and I believe I have found an answer. I was actually intending to speak with an old therapist I saw before at the VA who I remember saying he was a Hasidic Jew. I planned to talk with him this morning about exactly this, but I got there an realized it's closed for Columbus day lmfao :cry:

Keep posting and you'll be able to DM real soon.

We jews believe everyone has a purpose and faith is part of that. You were born into the faith u were and that we see as, G-ds plan. That's why we say that, you need to understand why you would want to convert. But talk private when you can.

I was raised Catholic but my views on religion have changed. I don't even think we all have a "life's purpose." I choose to live my life by my own set of rules and philosophies. I choose to treat others with respect and be polite until given a reason not to. I choose not to abuse others or commit crimes against others--not because a book tells me to or out of fear of what a book states will happen to me. I choose to be this way because it is how I want to live my life. In my opinion, there are far too many "good" people out there who are only good out of fear of eternal damnation. And if you are only a good person out of fear of punishment, how good are you?
