Why were we born, what are we doing here?

  We were created to praise, worship, and serve God our Lord, and by this means to save our soul.

   The other things on the face of the earth are created for us to help in attaining the end for which we are created.

   Hence, we are to make use of them in as far as they help us in the attainment of his end, and we must rid our self of them in as far as they prove a  hindrance to us.

Our desires and choices should be what will bring us to the end for which we are created.
