what is the meaning of having life?

Is life a punishment or a reward?
Life is punishment for some and reward for others.
people say that if the end is good then the whole life is considered good.
We live in a mortal body for 70-80 years, then this body perishes forever.
If there is an immortal soul then why does he need to come to the mortal body?
By the way, different religions have different stories on this topic. But who knows what the truth is?

A person finds life happy or sad according to his circumstances.
It has no more or less meaning than you assign to it.
Like a stone, rolling down a hill.
Probably every person must have wondered at least once in his whole life that why he/she was born, how did this drama of life get started, who started it and why started it? When he/she cannot find any answer, either becomes an atheist or adopts the divine belief of any religion.
These philosophies show how deeply the conscious being (human) yearns for infinity - i.e., the indefinite continuance of life.

I think this all stems from the very basic human instinct of self preservation. It's hard to wrap one's head around his/her mortality, no matter the huge body of evidence suggesting that indeed, life is finite and one fine day, the party will go on without us!

Rather sad in a way innit?

Sure enough, perhaps even I do cling to the hope that I may be wrong. After all, I am subject to the same instincts everybody else is. dunno
Yes, I've always wondered but, after a lot of soul searching, I eventually got the answers to my questions.
Nothing to do with religion!!!
It may be hard for some and often nobody wakes up each day to say what can they do to make their life harder than they already have it. No, we cry to make our lives better. Yet, it's not so much our circumstances that hurt us the most but how we react to them. We often define our own truth as we understand life and our environment. Why some people are successful as others are failures in life. Successful people tend to shape and control their thoughts and focus on goals. They are not afraid to fail. Losers fail because they fear the responsibility of success.professor
True, the Fear of Success is a bad as the Fear of Failure!

But ...we create our own life.
Nothing happens TO us that we haven't created ourselves.
Things and circumstances happen FOR us in order to wake us up, to give us some kind of warning.
Life is neither a punishment, nor a reward.

We asked (our soul) to come here, in a physical body, to experience emotions.
Whether life is good, or bad, is what how we make it. dunno

Religions are all man-made.
