Merchant, good questions. Luckily for us there have been those that have spent their entire life trying to answer those. A good place to start is looking into what they have to say about the subject.
Ignorance will only lead to despair if you are sincerely questioning these issues and are unable to just "enjoy the ride". Regardless of what you read, whether you agree with it or not, you will better understand how to frame your questions and search for the answers.
Find some websites on philosophy, science and poetry. Pick up the names of some major contributors to each and start reading.
A good place to start (IMO)...
Joseph Campbell (The Power of Myth)
Stephen Hawking (A Brief History of Time)

ETA: Haunted reminded me.
The Tao of Pooh
Tao te Ching (sp?)
