What is the meaning of life? Why are we here? Why do we exist? These are life's most fundamental questions.

As human beings, we all encounter the question of the meaning of life in varying intensities. For some, the question can be satiated with a simple answer, but for some, the question itches away at them, not letting them find comfort—and their whole life becomes irritated by the question.
