The only purpose of organic life is propagation – a seemingly apathetic yet relentless succession of growth, reproduction, and evolution that continues until total annihilation occurs (i.e. a global extinction event, the death of our solar system, or the inevitable end of the material universe billions of years from now).
It's only due to the phenomenon of sentience that we're ostensibly presented with a more profound implication to the nature of our existence as thinking beings – as humans. We can’t help but to impose some abstract concept of “purpose” on our lives in order to provide context to the fact that we’re alive at all. If life has no meaning and nothing matters, then there’s no motivation for us to survive. In other words, our only “reason” to exist is to continue existing.
