1. “to do whatever it is, you tell me Drill Sergeant! ”

   Bad jokes aside, as I see it, it’s to endure this shitshow of a world until my miserable life ends.

2. Do you need one? I don’t find comfort in thinking I’m destined for one big thing. I just do what I can to make my time here as enjoyable as possible for as many people as possible, and hopefully leave behind some good stories.

3. Nothing. I am free to do what I want.

4. To reproduce and ensure the survival of my offspring until they are ready to go and ensure the survival of the family line. Boom

5. Whatever you choose. There is no intrinsic purpose. You are free to make your life as you choose

6. To suffer

7. My purpose changes over time and is whatever I make it. Currently, my purpose in life is to find a purpose.

8. The purpose of your life is to just live.

   As you live you will gain experiences. You will try things out, like some of them and dislike others. You will do something for a while and figure out you don’t enjoy it. You’ll start something else and wish you had started earlier.

   Eventually you’ll start seeing a bigger picture. Some people see it at different times, some people see it on their death bed. But that bigger picture is who you have been, who you are, and who you want to be. Your “purpose” is to try and merge those pictures together.
