Why are we here?

Do you ever wonder why we are here? Is there a reason? Is it to love? Is it just to exist? Thousands of years ago there were people just like me and now they are gone. I wasn't there with them because i didn't exist. Now im here. I often wonder what for? At this moment i feel great, but there are times that i don't. Now that im 60 i have many questions. I dont believe in eternal punishment because that doesn't make sense of a loving God. I wasn't here from time eternal until now and its something i ponder. If we are here to work, exist and die i often wonder the meaning. Some people suffer immeasurably in this existence and some have more wealth than is necessary. So why the disparity? I'm neither. I'm just grateful at this moment as i finish writing my thoughts over a cup of coffee. I hope by the end of the day i make some kind of difference whether big or small and find meaning in everything i do. Humbly yours, Bruce!

Well Bruce, unlike many other people I don’t really ask this question why are we here to me assumes a lot. It assumes we are here for some reason or purpose, made by some entity. For its own interests. I know this will be offensive to you but I do not believe in any deity. I believe we happen to be here, due to the laws Of nature. Everything we learn about life, says that the very laws of nature will always create it if the conditions are right. I know many people hate the idea of some thing just happening? Without some being being in charge of it? But I don’t ascribe to that cosmology, physics, chemistry, and biology. Are the rules of the universe we live in. If there’s any reason for us to be here, it is because we make that reason
