There are many reasons why one ends up on the earth. This is up for the individual to decide. It could be something to do with their faith and their spirituality. Some people are more based on evolution. There are various theories and schools of thoughts along with people that lead these ideas.
Many people turn to religion and their faith will answer their reason for their existence on earth. This is why they have a definite purpose in life. In the Islamic faith, they will serve God and submit to him continuously. These thoughts are not supposed to enter their minds. God is meant to be the creator and heaven is the place that one will enter after death.
The person who is negative about this, does not have something to work towards. They always find that things do not work out for them. There is no sense of direction for them and most of the time this is because there are no goals in life and they have nothing to look forward to.
Different people say different things about the meaning of life. It is not only the religious that this refers to. For example, Ralph Waldo Emerson says that it is to have lived well and to be compassionate. On the other hand, the Dalai Lama says that one should always be happy. Monty Python simply says that one should be nice to people. Everyone has a different theory.
People who are negative and become depressed in life tend to ask a lot of questions about the meaning and purpose in life, and don't get many answers until they change their attitude around. Often a therapist is the one to help with this. It sometimes happens when people have psychological disorders, such as severe depression and become down in various circumstances in life.
One must also find out and know what you believe in and this will help you decide what your purpose is. This is important to a lot of people. It may be something religious, it may be evolution, or it may be something more personal. Being happy and content with life is the most important thing because this will keep you away from pondering on this subject too much.
It could be something personal, such as a child they have witnessed being born or when they got married. For some people who have been happy their whole lives, they will never question the meaning. A lot of people who are unhappy or who have psychological disorders will ask about this a lot more than others. Psychologists have to be ready for this question because it is often something that comes up in sessions. They have to know how to deal with it. It can be different for everyone, whether one is a teenager or an adult.
