Existence is life. It is what you do, who you are, and what you aspire to be. It is the human experience. At least, in my experience.

Existance is ultimately pointless.
Except if you consider passing on your genes to be the goal of existence.

I am here for absolutely NO reason.. I am just like every other creature on this earth.. and live untill I die.. and then rot in the ground.
the only "Purpose" is whats made by society, which will be success in money, happiness, and relationships.. although I don't know.. money is not one of my goals.. and relationships.. lets just say I suck at that...

My signature says why I believe I'm here...mainly to leave the world a little better; whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived.
But, I doubt I'll ever redeem a social condition, I'm not THAT ambitious. Maybe in my next life!

There is no meaning of life. No part of a plan from a higher power. Nothing like that. Just a series of coincidental events that just happened to put us here.
We're all just ... here.

I have some thoughts....
Why do you ask, are you Unhappy? Depressed?
Well, obviously if you're really bad off you should really talk to a professional, but as long as you're not contemplating any ugly irreversible acts, here's something that might help.
Think of someone you know that seems pretty happy about life. How would you describe their attitude? Are they kidding themselves? Are they ignoring the ugly truth about life that's right in front of their eyes and pretending that some happy fantasy world that exists only in their heads is real? Well, guess what. That is exactly how every happy person in the world acts. And the really strange thing is that it's OK. Because the reason that you are unhappy is that you have constructed a fantasy world just as complete and just as removed from the "facts" as the Pollyanna imaginings that you so despise in those happy people.
Reality is in fact neither good nor bad, it is a very plastic inkblot sort of thing that can be bent and twisted in many directions depending on your beliefs. WHAT! you say? What about THE TRUTH? Well...that's a little complex byt what is REALLY going on is so strange, so complex, and so far beyond our everyday understanding, that it bears no relationship to what you think of as "reality", "truth", or "reason". Good and bad, happy and sad, these are notions that you are imposing on the world around you.
The answer to unhappiness is both liberating and infuriating, but here it is. Happiness doesn't depend on anything that has or has not happened in the past, nor does it depend on your future prospects (thank God, eh?). The simple fact is, in order to be happy:
You Must Decide to be Happy.
Yep. Isn't that aggravating? You can't blame it on anyone else, and no one else can do a thing for you. You've just got to decide to be happy, whether or not your logical mind thinks it is rational to be happy and whether or not your moral sense thinks you deserve to be happy. You absolutely will not be happy for any length of time until you decide to, and if you decide to, you can be happy in the face of the most miserable circumstances.
Happy deciding.

Life is a labyrinth and each of us have our own way out.
