I have never asked such a question perhaps because I happily feel there is no point to existence so I guess coming from that position the question would not occur to me.
If I were asked I would answer with the question ..why should there be any point if there is no defined purpose?
I do find it amusing to hear folk asking, with considerable concern bordering upon anxiety, "why am I here?" referring to their historical placement as opposed to their position on the Earth but a question seeking definition of point or purpose.
Presumably their opinion of their significance far out weighs any view I would hold of myself.
Their insignificance escapes them I imagine.
But does escape them most certainly when they are considered as only one in approx seven billion humans alive and most certainly when put umoungst the countless kings, queens , rulers, great men and women, heros and villains through history or the countless millions who have died in war or famine or disaster indeed all humans that have ever lived.
And they can ask their question as if they are some how special.
And often some invent an entity that comes out of eternity to build a presumably finite universe just for them..one must wonder how long this entity spent in eternity before being struck with the idea to pop out to create a universe for his little pets....and if asked these folk can also invent a purpose but as they answer I would love to ask ...so what was the point or purpose of those countless millions who have died in war or famine.....
