The meaning of life is to find true happiness.
The purpose of love is to provide barrier to our ever discovering true happiness. As we all know; anything worth having is worth fighting for.
True happiness is like the Holy Grail of things worth fighting for. Being that it is the ultimate end-all to prizes obtainable in this life. It naturally has associated a great deal of grief (in obtainment).
The easiest way to prove this is to look at society.
Few people actually seek true happiness. Most view wealth and riches as true happiness, and as such, are deeply involved in obtaining the greatest amount of worldly goods they are able to. This is perfectly fine. It’s all part of the learning process. Once they get “there”, it will become painfully obvious to them that they have not yet found happiness.
The unfortunate thing of all this is that sometimes the lesson takes a lifetime to learn. And by the time you understand the concept of the lesson, you are dead, and unable to implement the practice of said learned lesson.

Hmmmm… I feel like this is a short answer to a question that seems so demanding in terms of what needs to be said to really substantiate my purpose here on Earth. I feel like you could do better… although I do like the picture.
