I don't understand what it is we're supposed to be doing here other than being born, growing up, working and dying. Seems a bit pointless to me. Then again I don't have much of a life so I can understand why I would view it this way.

Thread topic I may have answered somewhere before, and I certainly argued with my mother about it as an impressionable young man. I told her "The purpose of life is to love others", whilst she said, "The purpose of life is survival", (I've moved in the fifty years since more over to her position!? ).
