If you personally want to live for something, then that's a purpose to you, but other than that, I don't see how you can think there is some sort of grand purpose for the existence of life.

Why does a purpose need to be a grand purpose for it to be real and meaningful? Does an evening out have to be a grand evening out to be a meaningful event?
