Asking why implies that there's a pre-ordained plan to the universe.. There's not one scintella of evidence of a pre-ordained plan. What makes a person stand out anyway?
Greatness may last a thousand years for a few and eternally for none. On the scale of earthly time, individual lives are but mere blinks of an eye. We're born, we live, we die and then you're not heard from ever again. There might be a tombstone or family tree made with your name on it, but eventually the tombstone weathers from age and who knows what media your family tree will be used. All the memories and accomplishments will be totally forgotten, unless you're a Hitler or Alexander the Great type person.
In a thousand years, your bones will be dust and no other trace of your existence will be seen, unless, of course you become fossilized for some reason, but even then, after thousands of years more, that will be disintegrated into dust. We influence the lives of our children and others, but they too will eventually die. So what's the point of living?
In astronomical terms, the Earth will eventually succumb to the supernova of our Sun, it's an astonomically certainty the earth will be burned to a crisp.
So does death render our lives meaningless. If we were immortal, that would be the ultimate in boredom, repetition, day after day, of doing the same thing for thousands of years (hundreds may be OK, but nothing beyond that)....but i digress, back to your question.
It all boils down to how creative we can be in the short period of time we have on this earth....Our activities need to be worthwhile for their own sake, not because they fulfill some supernatural transcendental purpose....LIVE LIFE TO THE FULLEST DAMNIT, YOU WON'T GET A SECOND CHANCE!!!

Those that believe in creation are stuck with the fact that nothing is created without there being a purpose.
Those that believe in evolution are stuck with the same problem as why did we, humans, evolve to the level we have if there was not a reason, therefore a purpose.
My existence is to make this small part of the world a better place for my having been here.

Does empty exist or non-exist? If complete exist, then does empty exist or non-exist? ~~~ Empty in avenue vernacular, such because the cup is part complete and part empty. It is definitely wholly complete, part of water and the opposite part of air! So, sure, there may be 'complete' and 'empty'. Ultimately, there are neither. Both are readily imaginary phrases to explain the speculation of what we see. Is it 'complete' of water? How near will the magnification get earlier than you claim it truthfully empty? The best change is an issue of Perspective and concept. Everything exists!

Why one exist is not so much a philosophical problem
as it is understanding life as a process in motion.
On one level we exist to eat and procreate our species
and to find our way as an organism which acts on the
environment as well as to the environment, that is to say
we exist from external events that we internalize as
insight, feelings, emotions and ideas that manifest like
a virus within the hierarchies of experiences, we exist
from understanding degrees of relative aspects of abstracted
discriminated formulations of our reality via empirical
verification from errors and precision of acquisition from
new developing insights which exercise our mind and
thinking patterns, so it may seem we exist so as to verbally
explain our perception and cognition and symbolic references
to what we think we know about ourselves and life that are
no more than tentative explanations of natures matrix of events
of process and construction of mental formation through analogy,
metaphor and the sterility of mathematical models.
We exist to be who we are in natures pattern of life,
for better or worse we exist as human processes which have
taken banality to an archetype unlike any other animal on the
planet ......

The human condition encompasses the totality of the experience of being human and living human lives. As mortal entities, there are a series of biologically determined events which are common to most human lives, and some which are inevitable for all. The ongoing way in which humans react to or cope with these events is the human condition. However, understanding the precise nature and scope of what is meant by the human condition is itself a philosophical problem.

That's a hard question to answer isn't it? I exist because I was born. Then because I have loving family, a great career, a fantastic boyfriend and wonderful friends. I also exist foremost because of the love and sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Without christ i my life I would have no reason for being.

A philosopher went into a closet for ten years to contemplate the question, What is life? When he came out, he went into the street and met an old colleague, who asked him where in heaven's name he had been all those years.
"In a closet," he repied. "I wanted to know what life really is."
"And have you found an answer?"
"Yes," he replied. "I think it can best be expressed by saying that life is like a bridge."
"That's all well and good," replied the colleage, "but can you be a little more explicit? Can you tell me how life is like a bridge?"
"Oh," replied the philosopher after some thought, "maybe you're right; perhaps life is not like a bridge."

The answer will be like DNAs or fingerprints. Very personal, amazingly different from one single person to another. But if the body (DNAs or fingerprints) can be clowned then if there is an exactly the same answer, the next person is only a dumb copycat.

That question is only important in your mind.
The answer of it is only important in your mind.
So chose an answer that you'll like and be happy.
Or as you would say: Keep smiling!!
