Like some people say their purpose is to cure cancer, so they go to school to study medicine.
Others say their purpose is to be a great father and teach their children good morals and values so they are successful in life.
I have yet to find my purpose, but it will come in time.
This is a way deeper question than just the "Purpose of Life". Yes as a living being there are plenty of things deeply ingrained into your basic brain functions that reward you for; reproduction, sleep, and eating. But the real thing to it is that we've strayed so far from basic primal instincts that there really taking a back seat to what we would consider the meaning.
Plain and simple the meaning of life was and shall always be to survive and thrive. However we are now in a world where the common cold (which used to be a certain death certificate) is now something that is shrugged of as a inconvenience. I love this topic but in my personal opinion the "meaning" does stray for more of a stance on "What are goals you would like to accomplish in your lifetime. Which I would put up as being the most difficult question to answer in life.
Here's something to ponder. Is the "Meaning of Life" a construct of our own choosing to try and find an answer that is undoubtedly the most difficult question to ask to ourselves?
