Yes, I would listen. Here's a newly-published poem that I totally agree with.
“Reflections on Life”
by Mary Anne Hartnett Surrette
I know that some day I’ll find yet again
the fun I always had way back then
when life was so new, and losses so few,
it seemed that all happiness must be endless.
I made new friends throughout each day,
it just would always work out that way,
from home to school; in work and play,
my early youth was blessed and gay!
When I grew up beyond my teens,
I noticed others had big troubles,
Who was I to be so sunny,
while they were so ensconced in struggles?
So many illnesses astound,
So many folks, too tightly wound,
Feelings of doom and gloom abound
I didn’t want to look around!
What can I do for them to help?
I’m not a girl who has some wealth,
But clearly health is worth far more
than fame, or brains, or anything else.
Health of body, mind, and spirit -
had we these, or something near it,
love would flourish and truth would shine
and fear and hate could not exist.
And then Great Wound kicked in my door,
My dearest Mom, all sick and sad,
So out of the blue, I never thought
I’d lose the closest friend I had.
And when she left, my family scattered,
She was the glue, the one who mattered,
Why would our God allow all this?
I asked myself in my despair.
Gone, out of sight, in the blackness of night,
Mary Elizabeth Travers Hartnett,
the source of my life, departed this life,
Gone to her death, having breathed her last breath.
It was then that I knew
what life is about,
that there’s no entitlement here, no guarantee,
except as the Bible says - in eternity.
We were made to be with Him,
in His Garden of Eden,
not thrown to the wolves
to share our lives with germs.
Had we loved Him enough, we’d all still be there,
in sunshine, and goodness, in truth and in beauty,
Understanding first-hand what He has to say
And loving Him more and more each day.
We failed our test early-on in Paradise,
while still with only two of us there:
just Adam and Eve, (and God, angels, an apple tree,)
Oh were He’d have made us so we had to be like Him.
But, He wanted us all to make a clear choice,
To choose Him and all that is good in His eyes,
or pick what is rotten, per Satan’s lies,
and He gave us the Earth for our second chance.
So now we all have to shift for ourselves
for a period of time that to us is surprise,
trying our best to make a good run of it,
knowing we must die, before we can rise.
We see our God here in so many ways,
but soon we’ll meet Him face to face.
And lo! This info appears in Book One
of every Bible under the sun!

I think it's out there already. I think it's been around for some time but is being hidden. The people hiding it are probably governments and the various agencies that claim to provide good and useful service but when you really look they do the opposite, they actively and maliciously inhibit and hurt Man.
The thing about with THE TRUTH is each individual will have to really and truly look at themselves in the most profound sense. You cannot know THE TRUTH without fully knowing yourself, for you are part of THE TRUTH. In a minor argument, it's common to see a person assign blame everywhere and anywhere and never consider they could have ever had anything to do with it. Or someone minorly dents another's car and leaves the scene without taking care to do the right thing. People steal, lie, cheat and such. This is all low responsibility. These are examples but it's not too often you come across someone truly willing to look at themselves. Some are, most are not, at least at this time. Just observe, this is all around.
Not willing to face self likewise means low responsibility. THE TRUTH carries extreme responsibility. I sincerely doubt that a person of low responsibility could know or even accept THE TRUTH if handed to them on a silver platter, they would have to first rehabilitate their lost or dimished responsibility, as is probably the case with Man right now today.
Whatever it is, THE TRUTH will involve facing self on a grandious level. In that case THE TRUTH is reserved for those with this ability. Talk is cheap. People say they want it, but if it's actually out there in plain sight right now, a major obstacle will be facing the self when learning THE TRUTH.
If THE TRUTH is really, really out there this moment, keep in mind it will be in the highest interest of those who desire to control and lessen Man to hide it or discredit it or even kill those seeking or knowing it since when THE TRUTH is known and widespread, this game on earth will change, and more than likely for the much, much better. THE TRUTH very well may mean a planet without war, without criminals and without insanity. The mere thought of this must drive governments, secret agencies and such (i.e. the keepers of SECRETS) absolutely crazy. Those who keep secrets, anywhere from weaponry to things of a spiritual nature, are preventing truth.
And back to your question. Thank you for it.

No I wouldn't listen what would be the point in listening . It's like going to a movie and and they already showed you the ending in a commercial at home. the journey isn't as much fun if you know everything that will happen along the way....

This truth, or life purpose, has been the topic of thousands of years of conversations.
As humans we are born to question, seek and grow.
Personally, I would welcome that information. Without even knowing the reason why we are each here, it would confirm that we are not alone in this life we experience. It would give us a compass to follow; a road of truth to guide our way on earth.
As I sometimes look at this world, and shake my head in wonder and pain, I know deep inside that there must be a purpose to it all. Many of us spend so much time and energy seeking and wondering; to know would set us free to influence as we are meant to.
Or, is not knowing the answer? Is that curiousity the compass to our lives? As we seek the truth, individual to each of us, isn't what answers we choose to acknowledge/ignore a mirror of ourselves?
I believe we each have the answers inside of us, just waiting to be discovered. Yet, many of us do not ask the questions to discover the truth.
Be brave, and ask yourself why.

Define truth. If you can define truth objectively, I'd be happy to listen. I'm not afraid of knowledge or responsibility.

The problem is that many people claim to have a unique insight into the truth and why we are here but it isn't always the case.

How could we possibly know it was THE truth? Is there only one truth? Maybe each of us has a truth that is individually unique.

Opinions are like A*******s, we all have one. Therefore, no other persons opinon is any better than mine. Okay, so I would listen, but without proof and good logic, it wouldn't be much of an influence.

No. I don't see why people need to have a meaning in life. Do what you want. It's a lot better than thinking you have a burden to carry.
