The only purpose to human life is the purpose each of us humans choose for it for ourselves.
I like that, good one.
I also feel that there is no "given purpose" from on high, being an athiest. Those that do think that may be left without and drive to create meaning in their lives...
It is sort of silly to think we "need" a purpose to our lives - other animals simply live and reproduce and feed the earth in their own way. The biological side of purpose is evident and obvious [shitting in the woods feeds plant life which gives us oxygen, food, etc.] , though humans have gone away from that and are now destroying the earth and its life-giving ways.
Maybe our best purpose is to be a positive factor on the biosphere earth.
Beyond that, there are ways in which people stake out their purpose - to help the hungry or something like that, doing good. But that is not what you are asking is it? Those are just activites, good ones or bad ones, and are not really a "purpose".
Gee, now I confuse myself - what was the question again?
