love nature and live how you like

What's the purpose of life?

...to realise there is no purpose and to be content?

I just think 'purpose' is a bit human-centred, maybe egocentric, to ring true...isn't transcending the needs of the self a normal spiritual aspiration? For me purpose suggests design which suggests a creator. If there is no creator there can be no design and no purpose.

It seems to me human experience is not dissimilar to running around erratically in a dark forest. If it is comforting to categorise the bunch of trees as 'a forest' then that's fine. But it negates your affinity with the trees and certainly won't help you find your way out...
