Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
this has been asked lots of times, and many philosophers have gone mad trying to figure it out!.

its only pointless because we cant think far enough beyond ourselves!.
there might be a pupose, there might be none!.

but get this, think about the purpose of the little things that we do, and that in turn gets to be a purpose to something bigger, building it up pieces by pieces, maybe your answer is there!. or maybe, its not about purpose anymore, it simply is!. purpose is only a perception, things happen either wayWww@QuestionHome@Com

Before people confirm their meanings of existence, or someone help them to define them, people continuous to think existence is pointless!.

However, when we think existence is pointless, that means, we are searching for meaning to our existence!. However, we are not satisfied with what we have or what we expected!. The feeling of pointless is a psychological response than a factual understanding in most cases!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

yes its pointless right now for me too!. things get worse better they get better!. problems never get solved but are just buried under bigger problems!. and theres that test thing in life!. good thing im a coward and not violent!. mc hammer was right!. we got to pray just to make it today!. everyday is a struggle!. i sure wish i could go back and fix it where it broke down!. blah blah blah!. its so pointless really!. you know what!. being bored in life is probably the best thing!. people with real big problems actually wish they could just sit and not think!.

Thing exists as they really,there is no "meaning" in it,"meaning" is another thing that people give to the existence!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The purpose for which we do things is a MOTIVE!. You are having an adolescent phase in which you doubt your own motives and project it onto the whole world!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It may be pointless, but it is better than the alternative!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

For the purpose of living life itself!.
When there's no real point of existence at all,
Unless we seek for it!.

'Just simply love it!.!.
life!.
