Yes. The question so boggled my mind that I accepted a "faith." I took a study called "The Purpose Driven Life." You may want to check it out if you are a Christian. If you are athiest or agnostic, you might consider a faith but start somewhere else. I was agnostic for a long time like and I read a book called "The Evolution Cruncher" which actually made some sense to me. Check it out below:

Yes, I have asked this to myself & there isn't a reason imo.
I'm just glad to be born a human and not an animal.
Although, I do not lead a life of riches and leisure, I am glad to be lucky enough that I am able eat everyday and do not live in a poor country.

Many times, before I realised that we are all here for the same reason -- to contribute something positive to the benefit of all living things. Each one of us can leave this earth a better place than it was when we arrived. Do something good today.

I ask this same question once in a meditation. The answer came clear as a bell.
It said I have placed you here to learn the true meaning of Love. What ever it was that was answering then told me something that really set me back. It said that I felt the way I did about certain people because I did not understand the true meaning of love. I protested and said that I did my best to love all of the people who were deserving of love.
It replied "yes that is your misunderstanding. You see love as something that you dole out in tiny little portions here and there to people who you have judged to be worthy of it. This is not love at all, it is only judgment". This stopped me dead in my tracks. I suddenly realized that what it was saying to me was true. This realization brought me to tears. It went
on and told me, "You treat love as though there is some shortage of it. It is not something that you can run out of. The more love that you give, the more love that there is in the world. Its that simple. The only way that there can be a shortage of it is if you hoard it and keep it to yourself."
It went on to explain, that "this is what Jesus was trying to tell you when he asked you to turn the other cheek, to judge not and to love your neighbor. He made no exceptions in these things that he requested of you. Why are you making exceptions, and judging some as worthy of love and others as not? Jesus fully intended for you to apply this love that you are to all, in a universal manner without any judgment of any sort". By this time the tears Were flowing freely. I was crying because for the first time in my life I Understood what the message Jesus left for us in the bible actually meant.
This has become my truth. I can't say what yours is for sure, but I have a feeling that it is probably similar.
Love and blessings

I still live, therefore God has a purpose for me. I am looking for the time when I am finished here so I can go Home.

For me as a moslem,
our purpose to live in this whole wide world is to manage our life accordingly and collecting good deeds so that when we die, we will be sentenced to go to heaven or hell. If you're lucky enough, we will enjoy the most of our life if we fill it with useful activities and never commit sins because if you commit sins, you'll have to face the god and yourself with guilty conciousness....

yes many times but my beliief is based on a spiritual belief..this is the point where i get lots of thumbs down for expressing my opinion...oh well..here goes..i believe we are on earth to learn lessons..whether to be more responsible or caring towards others and if you do this successfully you go to heaven if you dont then you will come back down to earth(reincarnation)until you have learned these lessons..but thats just my opinion x

Sure have and I'm sure so has everyone else. I may never know my purpose but being a parent that's good enough if that's all that was meant to be.

Off course! I was created for the praise of His glory. My purpose is to care for those in need.
