> What is really the meaning of life? Why are we here?

Second question: By chance.
First question: There isn't one.

Throughout history, people have come up with many excellent life purposes and goals for themselves and others. To live without doing this to some extent, at least for oneself, would be ridiculous. But given my answer to the second question, I don't believe it makes any sense to believe there is an ultimate meaning/purpose to life which we are supposed to discover.
