It may be because a greater being created us and wanted us to do something. It may be by chance, the desire of nothing, and we're merely the result of a few atoms in the right place at the right time billions of years ago.

No its just yer asking questions that don't got a answer. Like, there is no objective answer to why we're here. There just isn't.

Indeed. But with strike action being threatened by the union due to a lack of contract with the bus system (for four years now)... there may be no choice.
