You know, here I would say "supply some factual evidence" but if you think about it, there is nothing to supply and her opinion is as just and convincing as mine or you all's.
Personally, I can't imagine existence without purpose. Tehre must be an answer to "why". All questions must have an answer... Why does a, because of b.

ask to many questions and you'll start to find that your answering questions with questions. If all questions had solid answers we wouldn't be here trying to answer this unanswerable question. Ironically, I think I posted "42" earlier which is still the most solid answer I've ever heard. Perhaps we are here simply to search for the answer to the reason were here and thus we are fulfilling that purpose quite well in this thread.
Now I'm kinda rambling in a tired sleep deprived state.
no idea if this was ever intended in part or whole by Douglas Adams but:
4 is a number representing wholeness or completeness. Notice 4 branches of any mandala imagery(cross, greek cross, hindu and nazi swasticas). Usually some kind of diety is depicted upon the center. Also three parts usually represent supports (holy trinity ect.) with yourself as the final completing element. Humans often search for a desire to feel whole or complete.
2 is a number representing both a pair or couple as well as duality. A number representing both sides of all things, where a joining of two to form a balance. (See marriage, ying-yang, ect.)
Finally, we seem to desire to follow through the path of the hero journey. Freud and Young wrote some interesting things.
Also rambling like this is a great way to distract myself from finals.

There is proof in many things that existence has a purpose.
For example: good vs. bad things
We are the masters of our own independent destinies. We determine if what we do is right or wrong.
It is important to recognize that there is indeed a purpose.

@HinataPrime:Can you prove to me that there is good or bad?
I may think Hitler was bad but the neo-nazi idiots at my school don't.How am I any more right then them?
I may think killing is bad but a lot of emos don't.Again,how am I any more right then them?
I may think adultery is bad but a lot of Catholic priests did it anyways...
@Leatherneck:You are assuming that there is a question, maybe why? is not a question in this case but a statement.
