>>What is the point of it all<<

It's the mark you leave on others after you die. It can be your personality, character, courage, love, artistic ability, philosophical insight, musical creativity, charitable contributions, technological advance, business expertise, etc.

The point of it all is to go outside yourself and do for others: help make the world become a better more beautiful place to live. Be kind and gentle to others but hard on yourself so you can continually improve and learn more and more.

When I was a teenager, I use to think life was meaningless. But then one day I rebelled against Death, the great enemy of mankind. Then my life became meaningful. It's been meaningful ever since.
