Life has no reason. Life simply exist because of coincidental combinations of atoms. You could as well ponder about the point of stone.
Stone has killing power. I once was part of a devotion about one of those old things there an everyday object in the story has a soul and can think. There is a...HAMMER that ponders what it is designed to do. It is used to bash things like tables legs back into place, or knock out a few tree branches and the hammer feels good but it wants something more because it feels like something is missing. He knows that he is designed to hit something but it doesn't know what. So it has tried to bash: Tree branches, table legs to push it back to the right angle, fences etc. But after all of that it still felt something was missing.
So one day the hammer was used to bash the head of a nail and that was when the hammer realised what it was designed to do! The feeling was the happiest feeling he ever felt, ever. This feeling was nothing compared to hitting the other objects, the hammer now knows its intended purpose and that is a feeling like no other. It is the same with us, we know what we are designed to do like the hammer but we just don't know where to use our ability. Once we finally hit the nail on the head, we will know exactly what our intended purpose is and it will be a feeling like no other.
Find out what your purpose is in life and then maybe you will be as happy as an everyday hammer can ever be...
