Why are we here?

Some of the fundamental questions that have baffled the human civilizations ever since it appeared on this planet was 'Why are we here?' and 'What is the purpose of life?'.Well, I think I can try and answer it and I'm pretty convinced with my answer. Rest is upto you to decide. Leave your comments if you have any.

The answer is "to propagate and discover".

We are here to move forward in the evolutionary chain. Ever since we came on this planet,we've been trying to beat what all challenges nature has put forth in front of us and moved forward. Solving the problem of food,transportation,energy and communication with the path breaking inventions of farming,wheel,fire and language systems. This helped us collaborate with other humans to solve even bigger problems. As societies evolved,so did these basic inventions helping us collaborate with civilizations first in their vicinity and then on in other parts of the world.

Now the world civilizations are collaborated and they're going forward to accomplish bigger tasks like further exploration of other planets, solving the puzzle of ever lasting energy and giving home to ever increasing population. Soon,we'll be finding answers to warp speed which will help us travel between inter-galactic spaces,which will eventually help us to collaborate with other civilizations from various planets to help accomplish even bigger tasks like knowing the mysteries of life and the end of universe. When lifeforms will find answers to these questions,they will be posed with other challenges which cannot be comprehended now. There might be other universes at the end of our universe and lifeforms from different universes may collaborate to achieve challenges of their time and so on and so forth.

The question isn't why are we here? the actual question that bothers me is why some people live n die jus like tht ... widot finding their purpose of life or widot even contributing to anything tht matters?

I think you are confused!
My post answers in a very scientific way as to evolutionary path for mankind.

Tell me one person you think that has died without contributing anything that "matters"!
Even a Rickshaw puller has contributed, even a simple office going clerk has contributed and take any pther random example and ask yourself- is what they're doing helpful in making somebody's life simpler/happier/convenient? If yes, then they sure did contribute. Take ANY example. Even the examples I mentioned have contributed in their own small way to the GDP of the nation, to make someone's life better(can even be their family members by providing them with food,clothing and shelter)

You have a very narrow viewpoint and your question asks not about their contribution that matters but about their contribution that matters to "you"!
