How Significant Your Life is On Earth???

              Ever since I was little I wondered about my existence, and every time I thought of it I asked myself two questions: Why am I here on earth and in this exact place? Is there a reason I came to this place to meet my friends, enemies, people or did someone plan this? I continued to ask myself these two questions with no answers in mind. I asked my parents and they related it to religious reasons but that did not satisfy my thoughts. I asked my friends (at the time I was 10) and they called me retarded. I learned quickly that my outlook on life was not cared for and it made me only realize that the lives that both my friends and family led had no difference in the lives that billions of other people in the world had. School, work, recreational activities, etc. it didn't matter where you were on this planet you could find anything in life you had any wherever you went; it was all the same. It only made me think of how out of the billions of people on Earth I was an insignificant fraction in the undefinable equation that is life.
        I sought the reason for my existence only to create more and more questions with no reasonable answers. I personally came from a different country when I was 3 years old. I retained no memory of my life in my country of origin only of the the place I immigrated to. This made me ponder even more of my existence and the reasons behind it. Why this place exactly? Out of all the thousands of cities in this country why this one? Why did I meet the people that I did? Is it because of some order so per-determined destiny that each individual has been given to face? I had no answers only more questions from trying to answer the questions I originally asked. 
        As I grew older I kept the thoughts of my existence at the end of the abyss of my mind, but eventually I could not hold on to them any longer and they were once again surrounding my mind. but  this time I had a different perspective. As humans we seek to become better at anything that someone else is already, one of the many simple traits of humanity, but we never seek to fully question our existence in the universe as most accept it and never reflect on the idea. Perhaps it's something humans aren't meant to answer and only to question, but I really believe it means something more than what people believe. So I ask you to think and ponder as long as you can and think: How Significant is Your Life on Earth?

I always wonder if your significance is measured by your contributions to only your self's well-being or does it encompass the entire world too?

I had similar questions when i was younger as well.. Learned to ignore them since they never did much good. Do what you enjoy and that what i tell myself, so here i am writing.
Yes, this could make an great book if it so happened to become that..

Response Part One: This would make an excellent intro to story/book.
Response Part Two: Though this may or may not be the place for this sort of dialogue, I feel that some answer or at least camaraderie in order. Though i would love all the points I would collect from a hefty 'review', it would be more seemly to direct you to my response entitled "For Mr. Erick Garza" published on my page.
