What's the purpose of life?

Have you ever asked this question? What's the purpose of life?

This may sound pathetic and maybe alarming, but there will be a time when somebody will ask this question to himself. Most likely this will be asked when the person is in it's lowest and maybe feeling depressed.

Sometimes you may feel that you already achieved your goals, and doing more is no longer valuable. It doesn't mean that you already get to the level in which other people are expecting you to be, but it's the goal that the individual set for himself has been achieved. Or maybe it's the loss of the sense of existence.

Religions or believers tend to explain what life is all about. But most often, it's being explained in relation to God and life after death.

Philosophers also tried to explain life by telling how they see it. Most often, it boils down on how to live life to the fullest.

We too, may have to go through religion or philosophy to seek answers to this question.

But do we really have a ready and solid answers? The answers may differ to each individual.

I may tell you when I found my answers, but for now that question still lingers in my mind.
