At the time you re doing whatever you are doing, of course it doesn't seem to be a waste of time, and maybe there was a purpose to it at that time... But in 300 years time who is going to care about what you did during your lifetime? I'm not saying behaving decently should be put on the backburner or anything, I'm just saying that I personally can't back the argument that any of us have a particular purpose.
I think too many people see themselves as special or important. The reality is that we are no more special or have no more purpose than a cow or a sheep.
