4. Our 'purpose' is to propogate our DNA

Note that is not necessarily the same as personal reproduction.

Everything else is biologically irrelevant and incidental. Now that doesn't mean its unimportant to the individual, but nature doesn't care.

What do you mean by 'purpose' ?

7. I don't think we have just one purpose in life.
We have many. One is to take care of ourselves so we will be able to help someone else when the time comes.
