What is the purpose of existence when it’s all futile? Why long for the next when now isn’t concrete? Why is life one swindle after another? Why is black so forgiving? Why is white so vain? Is the image in the looking glass your alternate evil looking to get out? Why live to die when you can easily die to live? The journey is not the reward. The ends oft justified by beginning. When the credits roll on your life, why will be the best boy? Does the snooze button really make a difference? Do you feel it in your bones or are your bones trying to tell you something? Is your thread of truth tied to my rope of deceit? I look and you look back.

We are here because we are here. Whether your existence is futile or not depends on you and your everyday menial life choices. You are still here because you are not certain that you can die to live, if I am guessing correctly. What if it is not the journey that is the reward but the journey that is rewarding? Read Siddhartha. He started and ended in the same place, yet in the one place he was unhappy and in the other (same) place he was happy and satisfied and justified. I don't really care about the credits of my life that roll at the end because I won't be here. And when I do feel it in my bones they are telling me something. My bones are telling me that you are deceitful with this questions, but that's okay. I chose to look back. You did not force me.
There is a wonderful small book named "The Holy Man" that pretty much covers all your questions. If you are sincere with your questions, read that one - just takes a little while. Then read "Siddhartha" and even "Steppenwolf". Those 3 are great for mullygrubbing and reflection on your life. Wallow in it!

You seem to overlooking the axiom of "eliminate the impossible, whatever remains; however improbable must be the truth or answer" the entire purpose of existence IS existence. The cosmickarmaconsciousness is seeking the answer to its question " Am I all that ther is, is there nothing else?". The very instant the question was posed, time, thought and space became; as well as all other consciousness--i.e.>>>> YOU!

You are here because you're meant to be. Your questions may never be answered. There are many mysteries. Just make the most of your blessings during the time you're here. The nicest thing you could do while you're here is bring joy to another human being through random acts of kindness, as a servant to God. Meanwhile, I hope you find the answers to your questions.

You are here because God put you here. God made you and he has a purpose for you. You may not relize what your purpose is untill later in life, but that does not mean that you do not have a purpose. You are an important part of something or someone. It is God's will for you to be here on earth, that should be enough reason for you.

YOUR NOT HERE. YOU ARE ONLY 1/3 HERE.
You posted this question in Yahoo, in 3 different categories at the same time.
so. after careful analysis, you are 1/3 here.

the question of the ages and the answer is not in yahoo or anywhere else so far as I know. You just have to come to terms with it and do the best you can while here. So far as I know, there is no where else.

You're emo.
Calm down, get over yourself.
You're going to get loads of Christian attention, and probably will claim to be a Satanist, anyway, even though you really aren't.
