My "OUR" derives from your "we" :-). So perhaps my answer to your
question must be that my answer to who the "OUR" is must be your
answer to whoever the "we" is :-). To whom do you refer with your
"we"?
On the other hand perhaps the whole Kosmos (where Kosmos = the
totality of the material and spiritual dimensions of reality) IS
itself the answer to why we are living :-)? Perhaps, in the context of
this Kosmos that plays the Ocean to our wave, each of us lives in
order to come to know directly within ourselves the answer to just
your question?
Naku noa
