Depends on who you ask. Plato, Nietzsche, Camus would have a brawl just discussing how to define the meaning of purpose.
Personally, I like absurdism. There is no intrinsic meaning. You're not an eventuality, just a coincidence. You're dealt a hand and expected to get something out of it, which is kinda fucked. But hey fuck it, there's cool stuff around too, plenty to find your own meaning.
