Aim (read Futility) of Life

This is one topic everyone everyone must have thought of: What is the meaning/aim of life? I too have spent much time thinking about it and till now have got no other explanation than the fact that life really is futile and is aimless! First let me talk of the various views put forth:
(In the whole post am nowhere being critical or satirical nor am I unhappy with my life in any way. On the contrary have been having a good time these days but am still confused what is life for!)


For religious persons who believe in life/death cycle, attaining moksh is important for which one must live an ideal life and blah blah. Well if you are believer then you can live with this logic but am agnostic so never thought much on this topic.

Life is for helping other. I too lived by this until I thought: Then what is others life for? What do we as well as what do the people we help gain by helping? And what is their aim in life? Even for the researchers who have developed brilliant things how has life in general improved? 100 years ago everyone had problems in life and they still remain. Human Kind obviously will never be content with whatever they have. Maybe unless there is perfect equality with nothing new coming out but then life would be too boring.

There were wars 1000 years ago. There still are. Majority people still crib about their life most of the time. Some dont like their jobs, many dont have jobs and many other factors. So its not like world is going in right direction and sometime later everyone will be happy.

So why live? That the question I have thought about a lot. Best answer I can get is to live for people you care about (or rather for people who care about you). Now the question is how to live? Any gain by living the ideal way or trying to help everyone you encounter? Well I feel that one must live every moment as he feels like. Who wants to live boring life for 100 years anyways! If living ideal life pleases you then so be it. Otherwise there is nothing like absolute right and wrong. I feel that as long as you're not harming another person (or even animals :P ) its not wrong. Defining 'harm' is much more complicated though!
So these are my thoughts.

I know many will feel that this topic is being too immature at this age. Maybe it is. Maybe I too will laugh at this later on. But right now I wanted to write about this somewhere.
