Can anyone here tell me what you think the answer is as to why are we here in this life?

I work 2 jobs that barely get me by and recently I’ve been pondering all of it and wondered aside from money and insurance, why do we work? In the grand scheme nothing we do means anything unless you save someone’s life or something. What we do is like trying to hold sand, it just slips through our fingers. I’m not trying to be negative, just realistic.

You know, I ask myself those same questions sometimes, man. Life can feel so grindy and meaningless when you're busting your butt just to scrape by. But here's what I think - we're put here to learn, grow as people, and spread as much love as we can while we're at it.

Money and stuff ain't the point. The real treasures in life are the connections we make with others, the joy and laughter we share, the people we lift up along the way. Work gives us a way to afford living and caring for family, sure, but what really matters is how we treat people.

Even the small acts of kindness, a smile to a stranger, letting someone ahead in line - that stuff matters so much more than what our jobs are or how big our bank accounts get. We're all just here for a little while, so might as well spread good vibes and help each other out however we can, you know?

So don't sweat it so much about the why's of life. Just do your best each day to be good to people, follow your passions on the side if you can, and enjoy the ride. That simple stuff is what really makes it all worth it when I stop to think about it. Keep your head up, homie!

The meaning of life is to give life meaning. If you’re basically existing to work and that’s really all you have going then yeah, it becomes redundant and eventually seems pointless. That’s why people strive for milestones like marriage, family, wealth, etc. Having some sort of purpose gives this all a point.
