That is what a fire does... but it is not the fire's purpose. I am me, and I breath... but is breathing my purpose? A purpose is the reason something was made. In example, I might have painted a sign with 'Beware the Dragon' written on it. The sign is nothing beyond itself, but i designed it for a reason (in this case for people to do a double take at the sign, though i might have designed it specifically to warn about the dragon). Does the sign exist even if it was painted by a spilled can of paint? Of course. Something needs no purpose to exist. A reason for something's existence is not a mandatory prerequisite for existence
And you are right: stating that life must have a purpose is ridiculous. But it is no more ridiculous than demanding that anything else need a purpose to exist
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
