In an interview on:
The Dalai Lama gives some answers:
What is the goal of human life? What are we born to achieve?
To be happy!
What is the purpose of existence?
Happiness.
Happiness for others or ourselves?
Take the example of a plant. What is the goal of its existence?
May be the plant just is! It doesn't have fixed goals. It just grows. The plant has no mind, so to speak. Animals also seem to have happiness as their aim.
Nature never remains static; growth is essential for a human being. Why do we always say 'Happy Birthday' and never 'Happy Deathday'? Because we don't want to see the end. The human mind is attracted to growth, beginning and freshness. Compassion thus is the force of growth and development while anger is destruction.
