My favourite scene from Rick and Morty about the question of our purpose is, not with morty and summer, but where rick builds the robot, who then asks: "what is my purpose" and then rick replys "you pass butter" and then the robot looks down at him self and says "oh my god..." with disappointment. I think this shows that it is a good thing that we humans live for no absoute purpose. I mean, just image if there was a purpose of our exsistence, it would completely crush our individuality, it would make us unfree and make all other efforts completely futile and irrelevant. If you look at space and deeptime, there is also no purpose to be found: The universe will end in dark coldness, everything will be forgotten, millions of stars just simply shine for no purpose. In human history, there have been many wars fought with millions of deaths and much suffering, and almost most of it is already forgotten in the everyday life of all other humans who are alive. Asking for a purpose of life is like asking for the purpose of a mountain. We can explain of what matreial compounds the mountain is made off, how high it is, what natural events led to its exsistence but it would be ricidulous to ask for a meaning of that mountain. Just the same with life: darwinian evolution through natural selection and random gene mutation, best described in professor richard dawkins books, explains the HOW question, but makes the WHY question completely absurd and irrelevant, just as asking what colour jealousy has - the fact that you can phrase this question in the english language, does not make it a valid question. We are pattern seeking animals, that's what our minds demand, and many people fall into this trap. Now, this conclusion seems to take something away from us and it does: It removes an egocentrical view of life. That means we are bound to one another, and because there is no absolute purpose to our exsistence, that means that we can make our purpose ourselves. Thus, everything we do, think and create is meaningfull (for us atleast, and maybe even others). So it would be the best to simply be, have sex, Increase human and animal well being, be empathetic, study science, try to progress humankinds wealth/technology and survival in the future, read intellectual literture, listen to great music, look at gorgeous art, eat the most delicious food, work hard to achieve your passions and goals, educate and enlighten your fellow humans, enjoy life and try to undertand not just everything around you, but yourself. This makes the shackles of an ignorant, warcausing and ridiculous superstition like religion, which has been invented 2000 years ago by iron age peasents who didnt even knew the earth rotates around the sun, objectively wrong and morally false. The scriptures clames are untrue and have peached hate, oppression, preducise and ignorance for thousands of years. Free yourself from this insane mass delusion and dont be a blind sheep.
