I don't think it needs one, and no idea if you mean existence of everything, or a single human life. But for my single human life my goal is to enjoy being physically embodied while I am, experience things using this body and its built-in equipment. All the things that will be impossible to do once dead, all the stuff you couldn't do before you were born. See things, move, dance, read, fuck, eat, hurt, feel everything. Think about things. Now while I am alive in a body that can do all that stuff.
we are the universe experiencing itself
Glad to meet you, Mr. Morningstar and I guess you'd be an authority on this. I agree, consciousness is the universe experiencing itself. And no, I don't need a favor, thanks!
