[the truth]

We're born
we grow
we eat
were taught
we learn
were loved hopefully and we love
we hurt we cry we scream we laugh we search for ourselves
we sing we dance
we learn
we make friends, some that last
we find someone , we settle down
we work
we raise kids

is that what its all about?

[Mystic Mock]

Maybe we learn from our mistakes to help our future generations reach whatever the goal is suppose to be by us teaching them which paths to take on whatever it is that our purpose is suppose to be in life.

Yes, and us learning from our mistakes helps those in the future to not make the same ones.

indeed and preventing these mistakes in the first place....much progress is regress and much regress is progress.....just because we discover something doesn't mean we have to let it take over the world

That the world has yet to learn.

Who says it has to be about anything?We exist,Is'nt that enough?

[Crimson Dynamo]

we are just a product of immense time, physics and chance

the fact that we are is what it is

[Kizzy]

As I've gotten older I've realised just how much we impact on each others lives so to have a fulfilling, positive experience then if we're talking existentialism I'd say to radiate and surround yourself with those who are essentially mindful.
If they are troubled try to help as best you can but beware the emotional vampire.

It's about everything you listed, it's about living

It's about procreation and breeding.

[user104658]

I'm born,
I'm alive,
I breathe,
In a moment or two I realize,
that the sphere upon which I reside,
is asleep on its feet.

Should I go back to sleep?

We orbit the sun,
I grow up,
my open eyes see...
A zombified, somnambulist society -
Leaving us as vitamins for the hibernating human animal.

Do you see what I mean?

[Kizzy]

Yeah...... deep man.

[JoshBB]

I don't think there is a meaning or reason we have life, it just is.

So you may as well just enjoy urself however you want.

Yep, there is no meaning of life or afterlife so just enjoy yours, do your best to help those you love enjoy theirs, and try your best not to make anyone else's crappy. That's more or less it

In a nutshell

[bots]

there is no particular reason that has become apparent yet. That's not to say there isn't one. Maybe at some point a big head will appear in the sky and tell us what we all should have been doing all these years

[Crimson Dynamo]

if there is a grand scheme and reason


I seem to have missed the meeting

It's simple:

If you do not believe in God, then it's all about nothing.

That's not true at all. Life is what it's all about, the relationships and people and experiences we have

In my book, if there is no 'creator' and life is 'accidental', then there is no 'purpose' to life. Relationships, loves. and experiences are all PART of life, but within the context of the OP there is no purpose to life.
