    My purpose? I don't really think about it too much. I just try to make the best out of what I have and who I'm with. If I try to think too much about why we are here and what we are supposed to be doing, it usually takes away from the moment and clouds the future.

    Trying to understand what the reasoning of our existance is, without going into the whole Creation vs Evolution debate, or bringing religeon into it will be very difficult I think.

    The meaning of life is the figure out the meaning of life before you die and then pass it on so people can act according to that meaning.

    I entirely agree with this. Overthinking life just makes you depressed and anxious, so my advice is to live life to it's fullest, go with the flow, and don't let the small things get to you.

    This also is a good point.

    Life it the universe becoming aware of itself from every possible perspective across the course of a potentially infinite spectrum of perception.

    Our purpose is simply, to live.

    The purpose of my life is, simply put, purpose. To me, happiness is not a goal, but a measure- of purpose, in my case.

    After all, I am always happiest just before I accomplish something... but at the moment of conquest, I'm stuck figuring out what to do next.

    To quote Ayn Rand:
    "What is the most contemptible creature?"
    "The man without a purpose."

    That kind old lady stopped the rain for us.
    She said it would only make us cold, and miserable, and sick.
    We thanked her and hugged her and she walked away smiling warmly.
