That is an unanswerable question that humans have been having a go at since forever.

I wouldn't say it's unanswerable. Don't you think everyone can find an answer for themself?

I'm asking people to share theirs, since it might help me on my path to define and find my own purpose.

Sure, unanswerable in general without covering whole swathes of philosophy and religion. I guess I view my own purpose to be to do things I enjoy and to help others.
