Someone once asked...
Someone answered with kindness...
This is sort of an age old question. Numerous authors and philosophers have asked, and attempted to answer, this question in the past. A few of my favorite quotes about this topic though might be: "The purpose of life is a life of purpose" - Robert Byrne "The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well" - Ralph Waldo Emerson "The two most improtant days in your life are the day you are born and the the day you find out why" - Mark Twain To each their own, but I think it's important to do 'good', to make the world a better place, and to solve problems you can solve. The extent to which you can do 'good' or do something about those problems might change, based on who you are, your position in the world, your ability and health status, etc... But the good thing is, you have an impact on the world just by being here! You impact the lives of your friends, family, loved ones, neighbors, coworkers, community members. Making sure that impact is positive is important. So to me, I don't think one should just do nothing or do neither good nor bad. I think our purpose on earth is to do good.

The only purpose is the purpose that you create for yourself. Some people have big dreams or big goals, but some people just want to live a quiet but enjoyable life. That is perfectly fine I think.
