Ludwig Wittgenstein maintains that our purpose is the meaning of life. He explains that although many humans might not know what their purpose is, nonetheless, it is the purpose that is what makes life meaningful. But what is this purpose? And how do we discover it? The first question can be easily solved, whereas the second is an existential problem. In other words, Wittgenstein is saying that our purpose is obtainable, but the idea of discovering what it is, is a separate problem. But what is purpose? Purpose is doing something meaningful. It is a feeling of being able to use one's purpose to do something meaningful in their lives. So in other words, when one is able to do something that is meaningful to them, that is where purpose exists. And when one's purpose is being used to do something meaningful, that is where the meaning of life exists. And this is what makes life worth living.
