Well, from a strictly scientific standpoint the only real "purpose" of life is to continue itself. The human, as a form of life, is loaded with stuff that makes us survive and procreate.
As to why? Well, people have deliberated over and debated that since the dawn of mankind. You're perfectly at liberty to form your own opinion. If you choose to believe there's no real point, then it's your prerogative, but looking at things from a different perspective is entirely within your power.
I personally don't believe there's an afterlife or anything grandiose like that, I think we're just an animal that lives and dies because life has an overwhelming drive to continue itself. That being said, I think it's awesome! I'd much rather exist than not. I'm self aware, I can think, I can have fun, I can experience pain, I can experience joy, heck - they even made it so that doing that thing which keeps us alive as as a species is a lot of fun: I can have sex! I can make friends and interact with other people, I can learn... I wouldn't trade it for the world.
The possibilities are limitless. I figure what the heck, why not experience as much as I can while I'm here since in the end it's all "pointless" as you say.
If you're a gamer - the whole world is your sandbox RPG. Go level up :)
Is it normal to think of life as pointless?
