Purpose is what we make of it. There is no central grand order or specific achievement (purpose) to be unlocked and realized.

The answers differ widely, see for example neurologists, Buddha, Hegel, astrophysicists, Lao Tse or Christian fundamentalists - yet each insists to have the right answer, which is understandable, after all, it is not easy to admit that the quest has been in vain and increases our confusion.

I can only say what I do which is not to hold onto ideas too much in case they turn out not to be true. Even if they
are they do not matter in the grand scheme of things. And so one should still not be holding on too tightly to them
