@Onyxmeth come on, i am just asking for beliefs in general. i am not saying that everyone is the same, I am asking for individual beliefs. Now that was just pointless.

No it wasn't pointless. You are asking for one meaning of existence that fits all people. I'm telling you I don't think such a thing exists because individuals are not the same. This is why we have different thoughts, tastes, etc. Machines have singular meanings to their existence. Humans do not.

The meaning for my existence is my daughter. Now that's not the meaning of your existence because my daughter is not your daughter, you may not find a child to be worthwhile to explain your existence, etc. so it only fits me. If what you want is something some bearded guy typed up in the clouds that was inspiration for creating humans, then I cannot help you. We are here on Earth because the atmosphere can support life. We are where we are today because we've advanced as a species over time. We think about things like "meanings of existence" because we have the capacity to think it, but if there were some such universal meaning I guarantee no one is intelligent enough to understand it the same way that you can't explain the latest episode of Lost to your dog and expect him to understand it.

Find what has meaning in your life and look into that. Normally when people ask a question like this is because they feel confused about their own life and try to shoehorn that onto everybody. The same way you wouldn't ask me to pick your favorite movie or book, there's no reason to ask me (and everybody else) what the meaning of your existence is.
