Personally, I have never understood the reasoning behind the existence of purpose, and a necessity for an original or greater encompassing purpose. I have purpose, but if I am tossed into a volcano, I do not.

Why do we need a purpose to encompass ours in order that ours should be valid? My love, emotions, commitments and convictions aren't artificial because they are confined to me. In fact, I might argue that they are more valid than any guided by involuntary instruction, inheritance, or reward.
