I haven't talked this much philosophy in...ever. I've never had people intellectual enough to discuss it with, it's quite refreshing.

I used to not think so. Now I do. I believe that the purpose to our existence is different for everybody. Some poeple feel that it is their purpose to save lives while others feel that it is their purpose to destroy lives. Others feel that they should entertain while others find their calling in feeling bad for themselves.

But our ultimate goal in life is to live: to make sure that we will always find a means to survive. We are always finding new ways to better ourselves and in these ways we will find a way to ensure the future of mankind.
Well, assuming that all existence and aspects of it are conscious and sentient to at least some degree, it's certain that we were grown from this earth for a purpose. As for what that is, I'm gonna go with you, it just varies from person to person. Personally, I'm still unsure what mine is, but that doesn't bother me. I'm here, I might as well enjoy the stay, I'm sure I'll figure out my purpose at some point in my life.

I don't know what happens after death, so I don't know what to believe. We go into the ground, or we're spread around. The thought of not existing is impossible to believe because we have no idea what it is to not exist.

I guess, what sounds most logical to me, would be that we sleep and redream our life again and again without even consciously knowing it. The same thing. Again and again.
Reliving in a dream.
That sounds extremely depressing O_O I would hate to relive my life over and over in a dream, because you'd constantly be reminded of mistakes and what you could have done differently. I prefer the idea of reincarnation (unless I was reincarnated in a post-apocalyptic world, that'd suck) myself, although I don't believe it.

I'd say our higher consciousnesses (our souls, if you will) will continue to exist in some form while our bodies rejoin the earth. We are all sprung from the same singularity, but our awareness and sentience is the highest of any creature on this planet, so I doubt it would just fade away. Perhaps it joins with the consciousness of the earth or universe *shrugs*
