A man of culture I see.
There is no inherent meaning; everyone must find their own.
For me, it’s to try and leave my little patch of the world better than I found it.
What does a flower or a blade of grass mean?
I don’t think it needs one, and no idea if you mean existence of everything, or a single human life. But for my single human life my goal is to enjoy being physically embodied while I am, experience things using this body and its built-in equipment. All the things that will be impossible to do once dead, all the stuff you couldn’t do before you were born. See things, move, dance, read, fuck, eat, hurt, feel everything. Think about things. Now while I am alive in a body that can do all that stuff.
we are the universe experiencing itself
Glad to meet you, Mr. Morningstar and I guess you’d be an authority on this. I agree, consciousness is the universe experiencing itself. And no, I don’t need a favor, thanks!
Crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentation of the women.

For. The. Profits.
There isn’t one. At least one that you have a say in. Your purpose is to be a part of nature as you always have and always will be. Your purpose right now is to conduct yourself as you are, since that’s how nature made you to be. You will die, as nature has purposed. You will be re-used as nature has purposed. You will never again be in the natural state you are currently in, but you will always be a part of nature.
Reflect frequently upon the instability of things, and how very fast the scenes of nature are shifted. Matter is in perpetual flux. Change is always and everywhere at work; it strikes through causes and effects, and leaves nothing fixed and permanent.
The only constant is nature. If it has a purpose, you have found yours.
The question doesn’t even make sense. You have to redefine it to “purpose” or some other word to even get started. The only literal interpretation is “what does ‘life’ mean?”, which is just something like “a metabolic system capable of Darwinian evolution”.
You exist because we allow it - you will end, because we demand it

There isn’t one.
The fact that any of us are alive at all is a cosmic fluke.
You can try to make one if you want but it’ll only hold meaning to you. Isn’t that good enough?
A life of meaning.
Here you go. Choose wisely, or don’t. Most of the options are just fine.
Leave things better than you found them.
To expend more energy and create more chaos in the universe.
All hail the god of entropy
I’d argue its the opposite, fight entropy until you drop dead. We are here because of a coincidence that didn’t defy entropy but temporarily disrupted it, so disrupt that shit more, everything good came from balancing and lowering entropy.
Whatever you want it to be! For me, it’s to be my true self, do things which make me happy, and enjoy things
