      Hi Katie

      I would say for me the purpose of life is to ask questions, and as long as you don’t upset anybody else along the way, to enjoy it as much as you can. You only get one shot at it after all!

      Well from a number of wise people

      Monty Python – Suggests to look on the bright side of life
      Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy – 42

      But I think what every you do. Enjoy it. It seems only humanity has the ability to ask questions about life and your surroundings.

      The purpose of life is to survive and pass on your genes. There are millions of cool ways humans have evolved in order to help make sure that they can pass on their genes, and then look after their children. Scientists and doctors are helping people live longer and stay healthier so more and more people can get to pass on their genes and enjoy their lives to the fullest!

      Hi Katie,

      I think it is subjective – everyone has a different opinion of what the purpose of life is. At the moment I think the purpose of life is living at the fullest, by doing what interests you the most and trying to give your best. I think it is also trying to be a good person and to behave kindly and honestly with people around you. But I’m still young, so I’m not sure I really know…

      Good luck on your own search of the purpose of life! 🙂
