purpose of life is this...
-
according to my theory, there is a priority list to follow.
the aim of life is first to protect your own life
and safety. next, you proceed to seek one pleasure, which is the pleasure of having
a intimate relationship. third, you need to prolong your life to live as long
as possible because death leads to oblivion. the fourth aim is then to seek pleasure
and avoid pain in life. to achieve these aims, getting knowledge continuously
is imperative because it is a form of power.
hence, the above sums up the correct purpose of life. -
wrong.
the correct purpose of life is to die and go to hell.

Sounds like Maslow's hierarchy of needs:
1. Basic/physiological
2. Safety
3. Social
4. Self-esteem
5. Self actualisation -
self actualisation did not say anything about prolonging life...
also, if you look at the things people wish for in life, it all can be generalised as seeking a form of pleasure or avoidance of pain.
things like becoming a very great person is mainly about the feeling of being proud , which is a kind of pleasure feeling.
health is always touted to be the most important because it is associated with lesser pain. see? -
wow very interesting, u made it sound like life is suddenly so simple.
-
But there are feelings.
And it complicates everything.

the only purpose to life is the continuation of the species...period.

you might choose to protect your own life first.. but others might choose to protect their loved ones.. some just dont give a fuck -

hmmm i found this from http://www.businessballs.com/maslow.htm
1. Biological and Physiological needs - air, food, drink, shelter, warmth, sex, sleep, etc.
2. Safety needs - protection from elements, security, order, law, limits, stability, etc.
3. Belongingness and Love needs - work group, family, affection, relationships, etc.
4. Esteem needs - self-esteem, achievement, mastery, independence, status, dominance, prestige, managerial responsibility, etc.
5. Cognitive needs - knowledge, meaning, etc.
6. Aesthetic needs - appreciation and search for beauty, balance, form, etc.
7. Self-Actualization needs - realising personal potential, self-fulfillment, seeking personal growth and peak experiences.
8. Transcendence needs - helping others to achieve self actualization. -

they sound to be the process of self actualizing to me... -
yeah, upon further reading i realised that those 3 were derived after maslow's death, so its not part of maslow's theory at all.Originally posted by alwaysdisturbed:i think they combined these into self actualization...

kk
who wana post sth on E-G theory, hygiene factors, etc -
Things that you mentioned are those about yourself, but i think life is more than about yourself only.
In different stage of your life, you have missions to do, play as a certain role.
Be the son/daughter of your parents.
Be the student of your teacher.
Be a friend of your friends.
be the staff of your boss.
be the wife/husband of your partner.
be the father/mother of your kid.
During all these stage, you have your responsibilities to take.
Being a citizens of a mordern country, you have more responsibilties than those who live in kampong, who's life is more simple.
