Answer to some big questions that have kept us wondering:
What exists out there?
Everything that you see or even for that matter, things which are far beyond your view, are systems. Everything is a system or more specifically part of one or more super systems. The universe (most massive entity known to mankind) is itself a supersystem comprising of all it's constituent sub-systems, which is what we see. Right from the universe to the atom - everything's a system out here. All that exists is physical and temporal.
What's going on?
Evolution on all scales. This process of variation & selection is not only taking place at biological level; but also at the level of cellular development, human culture & understanding. Everything is evolving out here, or in simple terms getting better.
Why are we here?
The proximal cause lies with your parents. But if you'd like to find out the real cause, go ahead & find it on your own; but don't let anyone convince you that the reason for your living is to serve some higher auhority!
What should one do?
The most important thing which cannot be stressed again & again is to think logically & critically. Along with this, question your beliefs constantly, avoid inconsistency & act rationally. Create a completely meaningful life by influencing people around you!
What is the meaning of 'life'?
In general, it's in the effects of life. The meaning of life, in particular, is the sum total of how your existence has changed reality by infleuncing (directly or indirectly) the people and the world around you!
