A purpose is whatever something is good for, regardless of whether it was created intentionally to serve that good.

Could you ever prove I dont? Would it be right to tell people they dont have a purpose if that's what you believe to be more realistic? — Benj96

A little joke: Of course you have a purpose... Who else should pay your elders pension?

I'm mean fair haha :)

I'm an existentialist, having read Sartre over a half century ago. I spend very little time reminiscing over past experiences. Even at an advanced age I look to the future. My purpose evolves. :cool:

As lame as it sounds, only you know the answer and a general answer is “it depends”. That is what religions and philosophy are for, to answer the simple question,” What is the meaning/purpose of life?” Hence your life philosophy will decide your own answer.

With regards to this, there are various ways it can go. Existentialism, Stoicism, Hedonism, Nihilism. These are a few philosophy which answers your question. Your purpose may be very complex or so simple.

Just for fun of it, let’s end of with a quote from Albert Camus who discussed absurdism,” The literal meaning of life is whatever you're doing that prevents you from killing yourself.“
