How do you know it's our "true" purpose in life?

That thing in life we are looking for, is not as far as we believe. We illude our selves to think it can be found without, when it in actuality is found within.
Without the illusion, there is no more confusion. Our true purpose in life, Love, can be seen.
Love cannot be touched, owned or dis-owned. It simply Is, my brothers and sisters, it simply Is. Thats well written and really spoke to me. Beautiful  Through first Learning to love ourselves, we can learn to love others. Following this path, will guide us towards inner peace. As they are, the one and the same.
//Peace
Well written, and really speaks to me.
Beautiful

It really doesn't matter if it is or if it is not, our "true" purpose. It's just some lines of words I wrote, to act as a reminder for myself and others trying to learn about inner peace.
It's much easier to learn about inner peace through love, than through anger, hatred, lust, pleasure and so on.

That makes much more sense to me and much better said imo as it rings true.

Yeah I'm still working on that inner peace and self love stuff. It would be so much easier to fight for my country, kill all their boys and rape all their woman from that place of peace and love.

Our "purpose" is to be and nothing more. That is all we can do anyway, all else is imagination. Pure being is the same as love, so what the OP said is right on.
To Icelander, you probably want to ask how do I know this? Well Its hard to explain but its not something I know, it's something I am. I am being. Sometimes I forget this and get lost in thoughts and conceptions, but I can never truly, totally forget who I am because how could I ever truly be separate from myself?

-------------------- Everything is better than it was the last time. I'm good. If we could look into each others hearts, and understand the unique challenges each of us faces, I think we would treat each other much more gently, with more love, patience, tolerance, and care. It takes a lot of courage to go out there and radiate your essence. I know you scared, you should ask us if we scared too. If you was there, and we just knew you cared too.
