Wouldn't it be better for each person to ask him or herself: what purposes can I find in my,/i> life? What can, or should, I do with the talents that I have? What do I do that makes me or others happy, or makes the world a better place? Who is there nearby whom I can help, or who can help me?
The poet John Keats compared a man going about his daily business to an animal going hunting: "The creature hath a purpose, and his eyes are bright with it." When he wrote those words he knew he was dying; that made him very aware that life itself - the vitality that makes our eyes "bright with purpose" is an incredible, wonderful gift. We are very, very lucky to be here; the rest is up to us. I hope you find what you're looking for.

You sound really down with life, and depressed. Not all life is needs and greeds.
There are people making a difference to help others, and make their own lives richer.
Perhaps you are overloaded from a life in the city, where it is all running and grabbing, and traffic.
Take some time to smell the roses. There are magnificent gardens all over the world, take the time to walk in one and see how magnificent nature is. People are fighting for the preservation of our planet and the plants and animals on it. That is not pointless.
Animals can connect us to the earth again when people fail. Spend some time contemplating nature, watch the discovery channel.
Plan to get away, you sound burnt out, go camping or to a rural retreat if you can afford it .
Listen to the silence, a waterfall or birdsong, this will revive your soul.
People fight for life when they realise they could loose their lives, why, because it is precious, and you should take time to acknowledge that everyday.
Go for a walk if you can do nothing else, watch children playing in a park, they don't think its worthless, you were once one of them, what did you want from life? rediscover that, and go out and get it.
People are learning to play the piano, right now, while I write this, Children are taking their first steps, new places are being explored. Rediscover your world.

My purpose in life is to be free... Free to choose how I live my life and not feel trapped like a rat in a cage. Also to be with the one I love.

*It's about telling people about Jesus, the Saviour who died for you on the cross. The one who loved you so much, he went through excruciating (literally) pain just for you. So it's about spreading the loving Word of Jesus!*
