An Italian saying comes to mind: "eat to live, don't live to eat".
Of course. Understanding it is the first, hesitant step. But what then is your personal answer to this pressing question? Time and experience will test you very soon. 😑

Our goal should be to enjoy life as much as possible, I'd say - or make the world better for the next generation; that too.

After the game, the king and the pawn both go back in the same box, as they say.

Our goal in life is to worship Jesus.

The latter is precisely the type of peremptory and tendentious declaration that leads to religious conflicts: presumption of being in truth and being right. Yet it would be enough to replace Jesus with "Divine". This is how peace is promoted: by finding a shared path. 🙏 😑

No one is good enough to satisfy god, no matter how much you attempt to please and flatter him, it is all for nothing. Face your judgement when it comes.

Obeying and serving something greater and admirable is more praiseworthy than blindly following the petty desires of the subjective ego. In religion one must not expect any reward: otherwise it would be a mere selfish and hypocritical calculation, lad.

Well expecting a reward is exactly what the promises of heaven and hell is. Essentially, a blackmail scheme. But I'm sure you agree with that.

But this is an ignoble view of religion: of course, many ignorant and stupid people believe this. Those who live religiously (as a way of purification) must forget about rewards and punishments, but give themselves courageously, without fear, to the divine.
