Yes, I agree. The meaning of life is to create. Create new ideas, new dreams, new life, create art, music just live through your creation. What a beautiful thought.

The true purpose and meaning of life can be a very subjective topic, with no correct answers. Anyhow, here's my input- I think that life is designed to be lived, and to live fully. What does this mean? This means become the best version of yourself, and after that, help others become the best versions of themselves.

I think we are given this life and the skills and ability to create a life that ends up being the very best it can be. That creative “best” can be in our everyday things can be, as easy as while we are kids, we start finding out what our voices can do, our minds can create and things we can make. Plus I also believe just like others have said, that God put us here to be ourselves and be creative and try to reach people to help him in lots of ways. The ability to be creative means that you have moved out of getting bored and now into something fun and not boring.

cd20 wrote: 02 Apr 2021, 14:33 The author states that the meaning of life is to create. Do you agree with this, why or why not? As an interesting aside she also uses the six days of creation (discussed in last month's book forum) as an example of how God created in six days.
Yes, life is creation. It's just like the birth of a solar system. Planets are born. Same with humanity. As we are brought forth into reality. We all have the opportunity to create something innovative.

To be quite honest, I've always thought that the point of life is just to exist, and that anything you decide to do with your existence is entirely up to you and independent of any other influences. Trish Ostroski makes a valid argument, and although I do understand it, I can't say that I'm convinced by it.
