One lives for love.
------------
One lives for love. One lives to love others, and make them smile and laugh, and to provide for them in some capacity. One lives to serve love to them.
In turn, one lives to draw love from others, to be loved himself. To take part in the affection of others.
Without this living for love, one's lives is almost without purpose, and can lead to one being unfulfilled. One can have billions of riches, a huge house and property, but without having people to love and people to love them, their lives are not complete. They could turn to other things, such as the aforementioned pursuit of money, wealth, prestige, or even such more-frowned-upon things such as racial solidarity (racism), drug-use, and alcoholism. But these will ultimately fail them.
Even the most famous and respected of people often just end up as merely another figure of history. The greatest legacy one can make does not deal directly with making a great invention or discovery which changes the world, conquering and ruling vast territories, or some other such thing which makes an enormous impact on history.
The reason to keep on living is to love others, and to be loved by them. Without that, this life is almost pointless.
[Christians can have a more specific purpose for life, but this view covers those that are not Christians, too.]
