19 Powerful Quotes That Answer The Question, Why Am I Here

Background - Why Am I Here Quotes

I was reading some why am I here quotes and I realized that this is one of those questions that everyone wants to know but doesn’t know how to ask. Honestly, we live in a society where if you ask questions like this, people are going to assume that you’re “screaming for help.”

Also, it can be awkward to start a conversation with someone’s thoughts about the purpose of life or why are we here. I can imagine the conversation now, “Hey, Jim! That was a great Cubs game! By the way, what are your thoughts on the meaning of Life?”

So, it’s sad to say that most people NEVER contemplate those questions. However, there are people out there, myself included, that do ask those questions. Personally, I had a stroke 3 years ago and spent a long time looking for answers on reality, existence, and true happiness.

Because of that, I put together some deep quotes about the question, why am I here and what’s the meaning of life.
