You don't need a reason as you have free will. It's up to you if you want to grow as a person and appreciate life or to just waste it because you feel life has no rhyme or reason.

If there is a purpose to human existence, then that purpose is to become extinct eventually like everything else. A big enough asteroid could wipe us all out, and then another intelligent life form might evolve to take our place...and then there will be another species wondering what their purpose is, and imagining that they are somehow more special than every other living thing on the planet.
Well, that was depressing. Would anybody like some pie? :o)

There is a reason for us to exist because the conversation we have with our self, using words- with meanings, makes it possible for us to ask the question. Without language and meaning, and our self-conversation, it all goes pfffft! Nothing is a word with a meaning. Without language, and meaning, reason does not exist.

That reason is not a part of our thinking, the reason exist from God. We have just to obey and respect HIM.

I think everybody needs a reason to exist - to get up in the morning. But we can create the reason ourselves. It doesn't have to be given to us by someone in the sky.

There isn't but people say there is because they are mentally and philosophically weak, they can't handle the idea we are here for no superior or divine reason.
It is emotionally comforting to believe there is a 'reason' we are alive which is why they are fixated to it.

beyond the fact that it's possible for us to exist (which i think everyone agrees on one way or another), i don't think there is any grand cosmic purpose to our existence.

Because theistic beliefs pervade our society even when they aren't attached to religion, therefore the whole "we have a purpose" thing survives.

Because humans are evolved enough to be self conscious, fearful of what they're ignorant about and selfish.

There doesnt have to be any reason other than the one we give. There is no other reason, other than the one we give.
