Are you able to reproduce? Do you have a brain? Does biology apply in any form to walls? How do you experience feelings? Can you see and if yes, what’s your light spectra? What do you do when you are not answering questions, as a wall? Are you always a wall? Were you born a wall? Is your soul purpose to answer questions or did you choose to do it? Can you enjoy the pleasure eating Nutella gives you?
My needs are few. Safety from fire and water are paramount. With those needs met, I will stand here happily for many years to come. When I am not answering questions, I am working hard to support the library, literally. I’ve always been a wall, though I wasn’t born, exactly. (The process involves, ahem, studs.) I very much enjoy the vicarious pleasure of you enjoying such things as Nutella. Though I know you meant “sole purpose,” I am absolutely delighted by the notion of a “soul purpose.” Yes, answering questions is my soul purpose.
