That's an interesting perspective. If I think about it this way, it seems obvious that doing random bullshit when you can do anything is like... quintessence of stupid. On the other hand, if this is obviously stupid, there must be something obviously correct. But it's actually a rare individual who knows exactly what he wants to do in life. Talking about investment you implicitly assumed that it's a given that the only meaningful thing to do with spare money is looking for how to multiply it, one just needs to think about how to do it effectively. But there's no such assumption about what you should do with your life. I guess almost nobody actually makes such decisions, they just... live? This way, it's all good and there's no real difference between copying your parents' life, killing yourself immediately, becoming a doctor to find a way to cure cancer, or throwing a dice to chose where do you spend the next month. There isn't any universally accepted answer to "what's the purpose of life". That is, most people probably will be able to answer something, but it doesn't mean much.
