Ask HN: What is the purpose of life in your point of view?

“Ultimately, man should not ask what the meaning of his life is, but rather he must recognize that he is who is being asked." - Viktor Frankl

"I slept and dreamt that life was joy. I awoke and saw that life was service. I acted and behold, service was joy". - Rabindranath Tagore

I like the Vedic representation of primordial debts wonderfully elucidated in David Graeber’s Debt: 5000 years of history. The purpose of life is to repay three debts -

1) Repay the ancestral debt by becoming one. 2) Repay the teacher/sage debt by becoming a learned one. 3) Repay the societal debt by doing good to others.

(Mr. Graeber obviously does a much better job of summarizing them, but you get the general idea)
