[QUOTE=Marshmallow Marshall;867853]Feel free to not reply if you aren't comfortable with doing it, but do you think your purpose is if it's not what I said, but that you would otherwise agree with me? Isn't that... contradictory?[/QUOTE]
I don't see how it's contradictory? Not entirely sure how you found a contradiction.
Those who find a purpose get a sense of peace, and those who don't will find unease.
Was that what you were asking?

[QUOTE=Marshmallow Marshall;867831]True. If there's something else, though, we might as well look for it, hm? If there's actually no point, well, we'll have enjoyed the entirety of things and looked for something that wasn't there, which doesn't matter so much in the end (in fact, nothing would really "matter"). But if there's something to be found and that we miss it, it does matter, and it's bad.
P.S. that doesn't mean you have to throw yourselves into the arms of a religion[/QUOTE]
If I didn't already have a purpose in life, this would be it.
I hate nihilism, I couldn't accept that life has no purpose. I'd have to look for something satisfying or die trying.
