What is the purpose of life?
Why do we even get up in the morning?
What is the inherent value in a job, a friendship, a game, a life?
Are we just chasing highs and attempting to avoid the lows?
What do you do when you have hit the lowest low you have ever made it to in your life and see absolutely no reason to carry on whatsoever?
What do you do when all the things that you used to enjoy no longer make you happy?
Why. The. Hell. Are. We. Even. Here?

Yes, "the meaning of Liff..." as Douglas Adams wrote...
It is what I and other friends incessantly searched or search for...
I think about this every day lol. I guess we have to make our own meanings. Sometimes it feels like there is none. But those little moments ..... for me, though they don't happen as often as I'd like, it makes getting up worth it.
I think that we all have a purpose we must discover. We are here to help each other and help the world :)

Why do we even get up in the morning? To try to make a positive difference in our life & that of the other and not be afarid to fail.
What is the inherent value in a job, a friendship, a game, a life? The inherent value is again about the intent with which you are in that job, friendship, etc. Having the good intent of doing justice with the job, friendship etc. matters. Yeah you do not get everything fair. Life is not about settling scores or getting even. Get even with odds rather.
Are we just chasing highs and attempting to avoid the lows? It depends on the individual & on the level of ambition & needs of the individual. Most importantly each individual have different capacities and core competencies. One has to identify that and go about making choices and attempts accordingly. Moving in the wrong direction with no or wrong startegy shall never give the desired results.
What do you do when you have hit the lowest low you have ever made it to in your life and see absolutely no reason to carry on whatsoever? You analyse why have you reached that point and what you could have done differently for betetr results. You discuss with experts, friends, family etc. You then make well informed choices and try again with a clean slate. Yeah easier said than done but that is the only option.
What do you do when all the things that you used to enjoy no longer make you happy? We all change, our priororities, circumststances, likes, dislikes change. We as a whole are always evolving and changing, so obviously other things change too. What matters is what do we do with those changes and how do we make adjustments, and change what we had been doing. Every thing requires a sincere and focused effort. Giving up or losing hope is not an option.
Why. The. Hell. Are. We. Even. Here? Once we are able to figure out what I wrote above, we shall be able to choose and decide our purpose for being here.
Everything is temporary. Problems are the steps we need to acquire better things. Problems are new opportunities to learn what we need to know to avoid making mistakes, to start over, to do the best we can, with a new attitude - the right attitude.
