What is the purpose of life?
Before you can answer this question, you have to determine what you really know. This involves epistemology, the study of the nature of human knowledge. I have discovered that much of what I was taught in school or read in books and magazines was half-true or total nonsense. So what is real?
The French philosopher Descartes proposed in the 17th century that the only thing you really know is that you are thinking, so you must exist. Every perception of the world is subject to distortion or illusion, but at the very least you are sure that you exist.
