Yes! We are a random collection of particles thrown together by chance, there is no ultimate goal that we are inherently given, we just exist.
This does mean though that we are free to give our own lives whatever meaning we want- we make up the point of our own lives. Just because it’s ultimately random doesn’t mean it isn’t worth living.

This is a very philosophical question. I would like to err on the side of no, because ultimately, it feels more comfortable to believe we are here for a reason, even if we don’t necessarily know what that reason is. And ultimately, does it matter if there is a point after all? As Ed says, even if there isn’t, it doesn’t mean life is not worth living!

Life is a gift from of the randomness of the universe. Like any gift, it is yours to do with what you wish. I am trying to make the most of it, and make a positive contribution while I’m here.
