What would you rather do?
Personally I think that is a fantastic general life goal with plenty of room to add other goals in between and concurrently with all those things.
There has to be more to life than this

Could be because there is a God, there is a higher purpose, and there is more to life than "birth school work marriage death".
Hmm I should probably blog about this or something.

I can say I feel your pain. Watching the world destroy its self is getting old. There are days I want to give up. Days I feel deep in the hole. For some reason I keep on climbing out and going on. Even when I do not want to keep going I carry on. There is something more to life. I feel it in the wind. In the trees. In the air. It's all around us but we don't seem to enjoy our world...

Did I not tell you that if you believed you would see the glory of God?

I think you've confused my statement 'dont ruin it' with 'dont post'.
Clearing the misunderstanding up, that isn't what I meant. I am sorry for the confusion of a poorly elaborated sentence.

and how does one believe in the face of almost completely absent evidence? i would LIKE to believe in God.. I want that kind of inner peace, more than anything, but it's not really a choice. without proof it seems little more than a futile hope.

You put your trust in absence of evidence on a daily basis assuming that what you know is true.

No, this is all about not making assumptions. The default position (in the absence of evidence) is weakly-agnostic weak atheism. You apply the very same logic to many other things in life; try respecting others' applications in theirs.

Not that I imagine it meaning much to you (seeing as how I'm some kook on the internet who you don't know), but I see/am attacked by various spirits on average about once every 2-3 weeks. I actually managed to reach out and hit one for the first time a couple weeks ago, so I now know that they're concrete things... but I think they try to hide from us in general. Let's face it... if you wanted the worst for people, and people were apt to believe the physical world is all there is so long as there were no evidence to the contrary, and you observe that a great many people just live trying to satisfy themselves: why would you do something to interrupt that?
At least.. that's one of about a dozen possibe explanations floating around in my head. Don't worry, a brain tumor is up there on the list as well
.
Point being: I would be very surprised if there weren't more to life than what you said. In particular, I would not underestimate the value of spreading peace and alleviating peoples' fears and insecurities--not through lies or shallow reassurance where it's not due, but by finding pieces of their problems and concerns in yourself (wherever possible) and forcing yourself to be honest in sharing yourself so that they're not alone.
Quite honestly... I wouldn't be suprised if that goal alone consumed your life and provided enough meaning like what you're looking for. ...but also I'm quite young, so take that with the understanding that (esp if history shows) 5 years from now I'll think something completely different. I thought different things 5 years before now, and different things 5 years before that. Constant learning proces, for me

Probably. Are you trying to make a point here?

Perhaps. But even if we did know that there was a god and a higher purpose, we'd still be at a loss as to knowing what it was. Or, let's say we weren't. Suppose I found the truth of what it was, and even then the higher purpose didn't resonate with me. Wouldn't I still be saying "is this it?" Err, well, of course you couldn't answer what my own reaction would be, but you get the idea.
Come to think of it, what would a possible solution to this look like anyway? Would it just be something that makes us feel like our life is wholesome? Would it be some great reason our minds could grasp and say, "ah, there is what I am missing."?
