We all have a purpose and a meaning we just sometimes don't know until it's over.

The only one that can answer that question is you, Each individual has their own definition of purpose or meaning. A family meal might hold great meaning to some, while a top executive postion of wealth and power might hold a sense of purpose and meaning for another. How you impact your family, friends and greater community can leave us with a sense of purpose and meaning for it is that legacy which will in time come to bear the purpose and meaning of one's life. Look at all the past historical figures and how they have shaped the world we live in. From the inventors of the telephone that can offer us meaningful conversations with others, to the political arena that can give us a sense of purpose either for the greater good or evil of mankind. Meaning and purpose is a personal journey that we all must work out for ourselves.

Yes. Life has a purpose and meaning. There is a saying...."Even an ant does not bite unless it is ordered by the almighty". There is a reason for everything that happens.
This entire universe is God's play. We are all part of that game.

The purpose of and meaning of life is to simply experience and learn.
"Learn and experience what ?" you ask breathlessly.
Now I'm stumped.
Trouble is, everybody is different. So many different individual lives or paths - call it what you will - so everyone has different things to learn as well as to experience.
Another way of looking at this is to ask:
"What will I take with me that has purpose and meaning when I die ?"

Everything that happens, happens for a reason and a purpose and it serves us. All we have to do is feel the magic!
There are no accidents in this life/ universe!

Of course not.
The very fallacies of purpose and meaning distort and abuse the fluid simplicity of unbridled existence. They are distractions to keep our minds away from the inevitability of oblivion.... for our minds in all their absurdity are more focused on the destination than the journey.
Yes... all existence atrophies and returns to the Nihil.... but I think only of the way I go; not of where I'm going to. I have no need of such nonsense as "purpose".

Our human nature demands that our lives be worthy of living.
But we know from experience that things that have no purpose have no worth. So purpose is vitally important to us.
We can calculate our worth two ways. Most common is to find our worth in the eyes of others. We measure it in terms of praise, both real and imagined. We often hear the phrase, "I want to make the world a better place" or "make a difference". These are thoughts that are praiseworthy and they add to our sense of self worth. In this system of finding worth in the eyes of others, our purpose is to gather praise and we always have to be doing something to earn our worth.
The other way to calculate worth is in love. As children, for example, we found our worth simply through the love of our parents. We didn't have to do anything to earn it.
Christians believe that our lives have worth simply by being sons and daughters of our Creator. Our purpose is to seek our Creator, to find Him and to have our joy in Him forever.

Yup. Everything exists in a purpose and meaning.
For example, cars to transports people, books to read or write, clothes to wear, house to stay in, humans to harmonize the earth and save it and many more!!!!
