What is there to understand? The significance of life? How long will it take to understand the significance and the meaning of life? 20 years? 30 years?

So that's the reason why you keep asking the question: you do not want the question to come to an end. When that comes to an end, there will not be anybody, left there, to find out the meaning, the purpose and the significance of life.
