I will come back to this question when I'm in a more philosophical mood, right now I'm all happiness and sarcasm. Btw, little Caps Lock is abused far too often. Please refrain from beating poor lil Cappie.
1) The purpose of life, in my opinion: To do good, for others and yourself. To achieve your dreams, and help others reach theirs as well. To learn all you can, and reach enlightenment, to realize yourself (and reach God, if you believe in Him: if not, this part does not apply to you). 2) Our identities are complex, but they are formed through circumstance and individual action/inaction. Our "conditions" (this is what I will call it) are part of who we are, and we don't have control over initial condition. However, the most powerful part is who we make ourselves- our behavior, our action/inaction. It is our choices that show who we truly are, far more than our "condition" (this sounds like something Dumbledore said). 3) Who: you. What: you and the world. Where: the world. Why: I already answered that. How: This question is too vague for answering. 4)Do not attempt to find a label to fit yourself; you will only end up changing yourself to fit a label. You are what your "condition" and choice make you; you are a complex human being with a strong personality. If you'd like me to be specific, I can; but only you really know who you are. 5) Happiness is an emotion that applies to or combines feelings of joy, contentment, pleasure, and love. Happiness, in my opinion, is a vague term, and I think this explains the confusion in defining it. Still, even things like joy and contentment are hard to define. In my opinion, joy and sorrow on Earth are not permanent and pure, though they are still beautiful.

But you'll probably learn a lot from trying to answer those yourself. And by the way, do you evr check your comments?
