We have to find our own purposes in life, which are not derived directly from our scientific history.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It is entirely up to us to invent our own lives.
We are the recipients of scientific method. We can each be a creative and active part of it if we so desire.
The purpose of life is to obey the hidden command which ensures harmony among all and creates an ever better world. We are not created only to enjoy the world, we are created in order to evolve the cosmos.
We should provide the meaning of the universe in the meaning of our own lives. So I think science doesn't necessarily have to get in the way of kind of spiritual fulfillment.
Thus there arose in me both a need and a plan for the foundation of the human sciences.
Our lives are programmed at conception and are endowed with purpose and meaning.
And of all illumination which human reason can give, none is comparable to the discovery of what we are, our nature, our obligations, what happiness we are capable of, and what are the means of attaining it.
We're the first technology-creating species. We use technology to extend our reach. We didn't stay in the caves, and we haven't stayed on the planet. To play jazz with our genomes and the universe might ultimately be what we're all about.
A purpose of our lives is to broaden what we can understand and say and therefore be.
Our lives our guided by that general conception of the course of things which has been created by society for social purposes.
