Comment:
The "eternal" philosophical question about the meaning of life is fully resolved only in Orthodoxy. Man was created for true happiness and bliss, for the sake of personal fellowship with God, conscious use of the gifts bestowed by Him. This goal is unattainable without God. Thus, the purpose of earthly existence is to prepare oneself for the imperishable, blissful life with the Lord, to inherit the Kingdom of Heaven, and to find eternal blissful rest by joining one's life to the life of Christ.
