I don't think we have any inherent purpose. Reproducing is more like a biological imperative. One I don't personally have, I decided long ago I'm not having children.

I feel we are free to decide our own purpose, as individuals and as societies. The only one that makes sense to me is trying to live a happy life, while helping others to do the same. Looking after each other, and pursuing individual goals. Also, trying to leave the place better than when you found it, for future generations.
Feel free to send me a private message.
