Purpose of life is the most pointless, groundless question ever.
Live beings, including humans, are nothing but mold, spreading on a piece of rock. Cells divide, grow, consume substances, multiply. Can mold have any purpose in its existence? Can it question itself whether it has any? No. Having brain(and ability to think, seek answers) doesn't make you any better or special than mold. Mold is just a biomass that's only natural function is to spread more and more. Same for any life form.

>It's not a malfunction
The most extreme form of this is described by stroke victims. Presumably, babies with unformed minds experience something similar. I don't know why, prima facie, it makes sense to suppose that the ideal way of knowing is having severe brain damage, aphasia, agnosia, etc.

Note though that many thinkers do essentially suggest that people undergoing severe brain damage have a privileged perspective because they are free of "abstractions." This follows from their nominalism (which is normally assumed, not argued for). But arguably, this is just a reductio argument against nominalism, that it leads to lifting up the sense knowledge of the infant and glue huffer over the sage.

I dont know if its useless, it exists in our minds and we desire to explore it, thats enough for me to want to understand. I've never come to a proper answer from anyone on what is meaningful or "why". "god intended this, this was what we are made for, that is meaningful". "Why does it matter that such was our origin? what is the meaning in that, that you care about?"
never gotten a satisfying answer. There is an understanding that meaning in more than the literal cause, but most peoples idea of such even on a romantic level is some cause or effect. That cause or effect is supposed to mindblast you into agreement. I love round soft cute things, noble strong things, and that is the way it is. What that means, could be a lot of things. Is that meaningful? it signifies something, im sure, but if it didn't I'm not sure why that should matter to me.

human being stretches out arms and legs and u circle them and u form perfect circle. human makes art and attains the sublime, does philosophy and attains the absolute. humans were made by god and are divine. telos implicit in their design. meaning of life to attain one's destiny for the glory of god. more profanely it's just wack to look at a cute woman and say she might as well be mold. you probably have candida op. mold-ridden brain. stop eating gluten.

It does force you to think about it and to find a way to cope.
