What is the aim of my life - Answered ?

Some 5 years back i wrote the post "What is the aim of my life ?"  I was unable to answer the question then and it remains still unanswered. The only thing that has changed is that the same question has manifested itself in another form. 

The new form of this question is "Does God Exists"?

I will try and explain how the first question transforms into the second one. 

First assume that there is no God -

If there is no God, then there is no grand master plan of how things will unfold. There is no one controlling our destiny. Life as we know of it, is just a series of accidents. Starting right from the Big Bang, to formation of stars and planets, to formation of Earth, to having the just right atmosphere to kick off life, to evolution of multi cellular organisms, to evolution of animals, to evolution of humans and all the way leading to the present day and time when i am writing this blog. 

So if every thing was an accident then we are just beings floating around on a small planet without any real purpose. We are born, we live and then we die. We live because survival is the natural instinct with which animals are born on this planet. 

So now what is the aim of my life ? The answer would be "nothing already defined". Its up to me to set the aim of my life and work towards it because essentially i do not have anything else to do (read nothing already defined). Some people set their aim as doing something such that they are remembered after they are gone. Other people set their aim to conquer the world. But it is truly on our whims to set up any aim which you want to set,

On the other hand, assume there is God -

So if there is God, then he has a plan for each of us. He made this universe, stars, planets and life for a certain reason and all of us do play a small but important role in it. There are no more accidents but only wishes of God. My aim of life now, is definitely to fulfil the reason of why God created me.

The answer to that i may or may not know that in this life. But i can rely on God and assume that i am fulfilling my purpose. There is the concept of religion to guide me on what God wants from me. Some people know what is their purpose of life others do not know it, but still may be fulfilling that purpose unknowingly.

So we see that in both the cases the question of "What is the aim of my life?" gets solved if we can answer the question of whether God exists or not.

The problem with me is that I do not know if God exists or not. I can neither prove nor reject the idea of God. Although the idea of having a God is more soothing and solves most of my existential questions, but there is also a fear of blindly following something which may not be true . To be true to this blog, I had conveniently used the existence and absence of God according to my needs. But the truth still eludes me.

This seems like NP-hard problems. One hard problem turning into another hard problem. And a solution to either of them can solve both but solution of any of them is not yet known.
