I too was confused and angry as to why there never seemed to be an answer to explain any of the emotions I was inflicted with. However, there is a point to life that lays within your instinctual being. The answer is, "The will to survive, regardless of pain and suffering."

I mean no offense by this statement though it may seem like an oxymoron.
"I would rather have a mind opened by curiosity than closed by religion."
^ A wise individual told me this.

Sometimes turning to religion is not the answer. It is only the end if you believe it to be. You are still alive and breathing so even though the light at the end of the tunnel may seem very far away, you can definitely make it to the end to see for yourself how beautiful things will be.
