I think we're only here to help the Universe experience itself, and make pretty patterns in the sand. As for lifes meaning, I don't think we as individuals will ever really know, so its good enough that we can have a meaning thats relevant to ourselves.

We could take the stance that its all pointless in the long run, and go out and murder everyone and cause major destruction, but only if we also think that the electric chair or life imprisonment doesnt matter to us either. In the long run, self-preservation has to be the priority and probably the main reason for all morality.
