I Think the reason we are here is to ask and research the question, "Why are we here"? What to you think?

Interesting! It is just ONE of the questions that we are to ask ans asnwer - for each one of us.
Here is something that I learnt from another sources. Quoting from another Yahoo answer:
"A writer once said that cultures are not based on customs. Cultures are different based on how people answer the questions about life AND after life. In other words, how people answer the questions: WHO AM I? WHERE DID I COME FROM? WHAT AM I DOING HERE? WHERE WILL I GO WHEN I DIE? WHAT WILL HAPPEN THERE?
To me, that is also the definition of religion: a set of answers to the above questions."
Source(s): You may want to read the very popular novel, "Sophie's World" by Jostein Gaarder. It has changed many people's lives! The writer quoted above is Pakistani philosopher Ashfaq Ahmed/ Ahmad. - 2 decades ago
I can not answer why others are here but I am here because I want to know what kind of questions people have and how the rest of us answer such questions and try to share as well as learn from such Q$A's.

We're here to learn and to use what we learn to the betterment of society. We help people, who in turn help other people, and it goes on and on forever. Who knows what the end result will be? We just gotta wait and see, I guess.

I think there is a very simple answer to the why are we here question.
We were all born to be alive.
