What is the point of being??? Is it simply to live breed and die???


It might be even simpler than that. Maybe there is NO point to our existance. Not even existance itself is the point, as it might not matter one way or another whether we exist or not. I don't necessarily believe this, but I have never seen any solid proof that suggests anything else is true instead.

I think the question is existential... as in "a sense of disorientation and confusion in the face of an apparently meaningless or absurd world"

The best early answers to questions of this type were by a Frenchman, Jean-Paul Sartre
Quite incorrect. Heidegger, who Satre derived his sources on the ontological concept of being, has in fact created Sarte's brand of existentialism.
