The Purpose of Life

I've always questioned the purpose of my existence, or the purpose of any human being's existence for that matter. Why are we born just to die someday? Why do we have to go through the same daily routine again and again; wake up, go to school/work, eat, sleep and repeat that cycle till the day that our biological systems stop working and our bodies break down, decomposing into organic matter and merging with the earth once again. It's a question that has bugged me for practically my entire life.

Till today, I have not obtained an answer to that question.

This is one of those questions that you might never get an answer to no matter hard you try to search for it. Like which came first, the chicken or the egg? Or how the Egyptians managed to build pyramids without any form of technology (though this might already have been answered). No solutions = Frustration. Which is why I have came to a conclusion, that your life is how you want it to be. The purpose of your existence is determined by how you choose to lead your life. You have control over your destiny. Every single action made or chosen by you, sets the path for a new set of actions and this accumulation of actions will lead to, as cliché as it may sound, the story of your life. You choose to be happy, well good for you. You're going to do things that will make you and the people around you be happy because you chose it. Likewise, if you choose to be angry and sad, all those negative feelings are going to eat you up.

The purpose of life, is ultimately determined by you.
