Life is a jouney, and "if you don't know where you're going, any road will take you there." And you learn from all the detours and roadblocks that the universe takes you to.
My dad once said "The purpose of life is to suffer" Hehe, yeah he wasn't really a happy-go-lucky kind of guy. I blame his Catholic upbringing, which I had to put up with as well.
he has a point life is suffering but its not our purpose i think the purpose is to end the suffering of others cos if we do that we've automaticly ended our own just a thought
