Why Are We Here

I often wondered
Why am I me and not someone else
I don't have an answer
And the older I get
The less interesting the question becomes
Are we all random results of biology?
Without purpose or meaning?
As humans we ascribe meaning to things
If this is all we are
Life seems a cruel joke
