We each have different views on the "purpose" of life. Because we do, I assume we believe that there MUST be a purpose. Does there have to be? Could it be there is NO "purpose"?
I believe there is but of all the possibilities, one must be the primary purpose and the others just add ons. If you had created the Universe and the humans who inhabit a small part of it, would you want the originals to live forever in limited numbers, allow them to age and die then repeat the creation or would you devise a mechanism which would allow automatic, continual renewal of human life? I believe the primary purpose is the renewal of life to keep the planet populated.
To ensure that the existing humans would do the re-creating of life, the method would have to be compelling and pleasurable and because new lives would be dependent for some period of time, the caring for the new life would have to be rewarded by being a loving, pleasurable experience which brings joy and happiness to the care givers. This, I believe is the primary purpose of life. Procreation, and the happiness it brings, for normal people, is the fulfillment of that purpose.
