Try it, too! Here's mine:

We all know that our purpose in life is to go back to Christ. On the video that I’ve sent you, what they’ve said are their default programming, their different ways to go back to Christ. Some are to help others, some are to pursue their passion while some doesn’t know their way yet. For me, I think that my ways to fulfill my purpose in life is to do things that will please God. But how would I know that it actually pleases Him? My answer would be from a Sunday mass message which says “You would know that your deeds are approved by God if it is loving things”.]]> 2018-11-11 12:51:04 UTC https://padlet.com/francescarmela_bernardo/group_7_Purpose_In_Life/wish/302974037 gwapo_bitoy31 https://padlet.com/francescarmela_bernardo/group_7_Purpose_In_Life/wish/302974208 What's that my friend?

I think my purpose in life to live everyday glorifying God Almighty. It is also my purpose to help other people or at least make them happy. What do you say? Am I wrong?]]> 2018-11-11 12:56:57 UTC https://padlet.com/francescarmela_bernardo/group_7_Purpose_In_Life/wish/302974638 mariabianca_francisco_acct https://padlet.com/francescarmela_bernardo/group_7_Purpose_In_Life/wish/303223484 I agree with the both of you but then, I guess that another purpose of life is to touch other people’s lives and make them feel the presence of God. At the same time,  it is also our purpose to help each and everyone to find our way back to God. ]]> 2018-11-12 12:53:29 UTC https://padlet.com/francescarmela_bernardo/group_7_Purpose_In_Life/wish/303223484 loraineanne_ligasan_acct https://padlet.com/francescarmela_bernardo/group_7_Purpose_In_Life/wish/303226651 Yes Maria! I heard from my theology professor that we, the imago Dei, have the purpose finding the way to go back to God. There may be hindrance like taking a long time on going back, the important thing is we are able to go back to Him. We should not let other things lead us to the other way. My understanding about our purpose in life makes a huge difference to me because it is really far from what I know. But now, I am enlightened that our purpose is to find our way to go back to Him.

Uhm before taking courses related to theology, what are your perspectives about the purpose in life? Any thoughts? For me, I thought our purpose was to do good things to other and love one another. People around me always say that I must treat other people better and love them even if they hate me. I believed in it because it seems like it is our real purpose. The church and school keep teaching us this thing and we thought that it is the right answer. ]]> 2018-11-12 13:20:11 UTC https://padlet.com/francescarmela_bernardo/group_7_Purpose_In_Life/wish/303233800 mariabianca_francisco_acct https://padlet.com/francescarmela_bernardo/group_7_Purpose_In_Life/wish/303234449 To be honest, this question is very difficult to answer because before I took this course I don't know the purpose of my life. Also questions like these requires deep understanding about life and the purpose of living. As I said, I don't know my purpose in life before I took this course and up until now I still don't know it yet. But I am sure that one of the purposes of my life now is to make my parents proud of me because that is the least thing that I can do to repay all of their hard works and sacrifices in order for me to study.]]> 2018-11-12 13:21:51 UTC https://padlet.com/francescarmela_bernardo/group_7_Purpose_In_Life/wish/303234449 francescarmela_bernardo https://padlet.com/francescarmela_bernardo/group_7_Purpose_In_Life/wish/303236338 Uhm honestly, I already know what is our purpose/goal in life - to fulfill God’s plan but before watching the video and being knowledgeable about our default programming, I don’t even know how to fulfill those plans that God has for me. My attitude towards it is like a thing given to me but I can't utilize it for I don't know how to use it for I'm are not doing anything or putting any effort to do so. ]]> 2018-11-12 13:25:58 UTC https://padlet.com/francescarmela_bernardo/group_7_Purpose_In_Life/wish/303236338 francescarmela_bernardo https://padlet.com/francescarmela_bernardo/group_7_Purpose_In_Life/wish/303237629 Mauie have mentioned that it was difficult for her to answer what is her purpose, right? What do you guys think why some people find it difficult to answer such question? ]]> 2018-11-12 13:28:41 UTC https://padlet.com/francescarmela_bernardo/group_7_Purpose_In_Life/wish/303237629 loraineanne_ligasan_acct https://padlet.com/francescarmela_bernardo/group_7_Purpose_In_Life/wish/303239213 Yes I have the same question!!! There are people answers on how they know and beliefs. Also, there are people answer this question on how they perceive it. It is hard to answer because not all people know what is the real answer. We thought that some certain responsibility is the answer, but it is not. If we think deeper, we will thought that it has many answer, but it is only one!

But, not to be judgmental, I think because they are distant to God. They’re not yet ready to do things in accordance to God. They unconsciously still let their own ways to work on them. They just go with the flow and doesn’t have any plans about it. I can say all of this based on my own because I have experienced emptiness (well may be we all did) and I was searching why until I seek for Him again and realized that it was I who chose my thoughts over His plans which made me distant to Him anyway. ]]> 2018-11-12 13:40:05 UTC https://padlet.com/francescarmela_bernardo/group_7_Purpose_In_Life/wish/303242951 gwapo_bitoy31 https://padlet.com/francescarmela_bernardo/group_7_Purpose_In_Life/wish/303249876 Did you know that before this course, I thought my purpose is just to live everyday and be happy. But now, the meaning of my life is deeper than before. Also, I think why for other people, the question “what is your purpose in life?” is hard to answer because they don’t even know why they are here.]]> 2018-11-12 13:53:05 UTC https://padlet.com/francescarmela_bernardo/group_7_Purpose_In_Life/wish/303249876 mickelkonneri_say_acct https://padlet.com/francescarmela_bernardo/group_7_Purpose_In_Life/wish/303253555 I'm sorry. With all due respect to your beliefs, I simply believe we should live life to the fullest. We don't necessarily need to have or know our purpose in life, regardless of the existence of God. My personal purpose in life, I believe is to be happy whilst maintaining a moral standard. Epicurean philosophy is what really matches with my beliefs. ]]> 2018-11-12 13:59:53 UTC https://padlet.com/francescarmela_bernardo/group_7_Purpose_In_Life/wish/303253555 mariabianca_francisco_acct https://padlet.com/francescarmela_bernardo/group_7_Purpose_In_Life/wish/303254935 That was soo deep mickel!]]> 2018-11-12 14:02:16 UTC https://padlet.com/francescarmela_bernardo/group_7_Purpose_In_Life/wish/303254935 mariabianca_francisco_acct https://padlet.com/francescarmela_bernardo/group_7_Purpose_In_Life/wish/303255336  Maybe I am still in the process of finding my purpose that’s why it was difficult for me to answer the question. But, why do we have different understanding about the purpose of life, anyway?]]> 2018-11-12 14:03:06 UTC https://padlet.com/francescarmela_bernardo/group_7_Purpose_In_Life/wish/303255336 gwapo_bitoy31 https://padlet.com/francescarmela_bernardo/group_7_Purpose_In_Life/wish/303255396 It's okay, man!

Like in the video we watched, they have different answers in one question. I think it’s because people have different understandings and beliefs, that’s why people answer this differently. There are some do not know our real purpose, like me, before my professor tackled this, I had a different knowledge about this too. So I think it is normal because not everyone had a chance to learn something like this and it leads to misunderstanding of our purpose in life. But let us not blame them, instead, teach them what is right and the right thing to do. ]]> 2018-11-12 14:05:56 UTC https://padlet.com/francescarmela_bernardo/group_7_Purpose_In_Life/wish/303256797 francescarmela_bernardo https://padlet.com/francescarmela_bernardo/group_7_Purpose_In_Life/wish/303258588 It's because we all have different stories - family, struggles, personal goals, perspectives, etc., - which are the bases on how we perceive and think of the different ways to fulfill our purpose in life. ]]> 2018-11-12 14:09:06 UTC https://padlet.com/francescarmela_bernardo/group_7_Purpose_In_Life/wish/303258588 gwapo_bitoy31 https://padlet.com/francescarmela_bernardo/group_7_Purpose_In_Life/wish/303260125 I agree with the fact that we all have different stories and we are facing different circumstances every chapter of the book called "Life"]]> 2018-11-12 14:11:54 UTC https://padlet.com/francescarmela_bernardo/group_7_Purpose_In_Life/wish/303260125 mariabianca_francisco_acct https://padlet.com/francescarmela_bernardo/group_7_Purpose_In_Life/wish/303260778 I believe that because of our different experiences in life and the different environments that we grew up with makes our understanding different from others. Our experiences and the things that surrounds us makes a big impact on how we understand the purpose of life since not all of us are well educated about it. One may have a big purpose in life while one doesn't know anything about it because we did not grew up in the same situation.

I also believe our personal beliefs and experiences affect the way we envision our purposes in life. In my opinion, we cannot really blame someone if they have opinions that are far from ours. Understanding is the key, in my opinion, in order maintain peace]]> 2018-11-12 14:19:01 UTC https://padlet.com/francescarmela_bernardo/group_7_Purpose_In_Life/wish/303264029 mickelkonneri_say_acct https://padlet.com/francescarmela_bernardo/group_7_Purpose_In_Life/wish/303265859 But something boggles my mind. If we know know our purpose in life, does it automatically mean that when we achieve  it, does it automatically mean we are happy? ]]> 2018-11-12 14:21:58 UTC https://padlet.com/francescarmela_bernardo/group_7_Purpose_In_Life/wish/303265859 gwapo_bitoy31 https://padlet.com/francescarmela_bernardo/group_7_Purpose_In_Life/wish/303268027 In addition to my answer, we have different understanding about the purpose of life because we have different goals, different reason, different in almost everything in life. We have the capability to think for ourselves.]]> 2018-11-12 14:25:47 UTC https://padlet.com/francescarmela_bernardo/group_7_Purpose_In_Life/wish/303268027 mariabianca_francisco_acct https://padlet.com/francescarmela_bernardo/group_7_Purpose_In_Life/wish/303268201
With achieving and fulfilling my purpose in life comes happiness. For me, one can be happy through living their purpose in life. And the ultimate purpose of a man's life is to go back to God, and no human can ever be happy being with God.

Some doesn’t appreciate it, and on other people, it has a big impact to them. We have the Divine Beatitudes given to us by God for our happiness. These are the rewards for us by God. The Beatitudes are the foundation of heaven, our home. Through beatitudes, our home is prepared for us so when the time of going back has come, we will have a beautiful home with God in heaven. Doing something for and to other people is not our purpose, but it might help to find our way back to God. ]]> 2018-11-12 14:26:56 UTC https://padlet.com/francescarmela_bernardo/group_7_Purpose_In_Life/wish/303268706 gwapo_bitoy31 https://padlet.com/francescarmela_bernardo/group_7_Purpose_In_Life/wish/303269761 My answer to Mickel's question is if I achieved my goals and find my purpose in life, I will be the happiest person on Earth.

In short, we are still to work for our purpose in accordance to God to achieve happiness through, for and in God. ]]> 2018-11-12 14:31:39 UTC https://padlet.com/francescarmela_bernardo/group_7_Purpose_In_Life/wish/303271374 francescarmela_bernardo https://padlet.com/francescarmela_bernardo/group_7_Purpose_In_Life/wish/303274869 Thanks for sharing your thoughts, guys!!
