[Buddha-l] Purpose of life

[Bob Zeuschner]

I find the question "What is the purpose of life?" to have little sense.
People assign purposes.
If someone/some being created life, then we could ask what that 
someone's purpose was.

The only question I can make sense of is "What purposes do you assign to 
your life?"

About the best answer I can come up with is that I've got many different 
purposes. However, among the most important purposes are that I try not 
to cause unnecessary dukkha and I try to play the best acoustic blues 
guitar that I can.
