I get that this world has so much to offer, so much beauty and there are endless opportunities for exploration and enjoyment. But what about those born into poverty, famine, disease or oppression to name a few? Their lives are plagued with misery and hardship. There is no joy for them. I guess your advice would be to make the best of it. This seems pathetically sad to me.

There isn't one

There isn't one.

Why does there have to be a point to it? As Camus wisely stated (at least, I think it wise): "The meaning of life is whatever I am doing at the moment that keeps me from killing myself."

We are only here a short time, whatever we experience in life is who we become by how we meet those experiences. Enjoy your life while you have it, what else is there? There is so much beauty in the world if you let yourself see it. There is so much to learn to experience; places to go, other societies to learn from and even perhaps be a part of. The possibilities are endless, as Stephen Hawking would have said.

The point is to facilitate the continuation of life in the universe. We are one of it's billions of manifestations and no more relevant to the whole than an amoeba.

The point is whatever you make it to be. We create our own meaning and purpose. It doesn't exist out there somewhere for us to find. And why is the universe without you in it after you're dead any different than the universe without you before you were born? It's the same, and we won't be aware of it anyway. The way you will survive will be in whatever you have done, and in the memories of those who live on after you are gone.

In my opinion there is no intrinsic point, and that is kind of the beautiful aspect to it. You get to decide what the point is to your life.

Live one day at a time.

It is actually a big question..... Not a good idea to dwell too much on it
