What's the Purpose?

Is it enlightenment? Or the so-called state "Nirvana"? And why do I always reach such conclusions late after midnight while listening to Depeche Mode? (By the way, nice track - "Nothing's Impossible" from their latest album - "Playing The Angel")
And if I can choose what to believe in, I believe in this one above. People have never stopped asking themselves what their purpose of being is.
Or if I have to refer to my latest post with the lyrics of "I Don't Know" - we can't be certain...

But why not? Or as the editors of the website about wave structure of matter write, there's only one ultimate truth. Out there. Then how can one be sure?
That's why I believe in the power of science. It can prove everything, but only if it finds the true path, the true clues... and that's the purpose of science.

As to purpose of life, I don't know...Who does know???
And yet, that's the worthiest quest. What else should we be living for? Making money? Spending them on luxurious goods??? I doubt.

Funny, some people make money in order to live, but others live in order to make money...

Full stop.

I choose to believe in God's lessons and goowill.
If you have troubles - it is because you have to learn something from them, and grow.
The purpose of science is to explain life's mechanisms, yet, without a soul open to the world, science is dry and useless.

I agree with on this, Sve. We, people, have our own unique path and mistakes are inevitably a part of this path.
Someone has said that science actually can explain everything, including our purpose of existence and even much wider topics. But nowadays it's either blindly believed in the ultimate purpose of science to oppose this existential questions, or the other extreme - totally reject scientific proofs.
