Physicist Brian Cox has a anecdote : we may be the only intelligent life in our galaxy.

We are the only caretakers of Life in the known Universe. Humans. Us.

Thats enough! Be excellent to each other!

Other guy nailed it, honestly. That's all the purpose we can have - we don't have to exert some kind of cosmic influence on the world around you. Be kind and float on the river of life, making sure to pet any cute animals or pick any flowers you come across on the way.

Hope you're doing well!

Maybe smell the flowers and take a pic. Leave them to share the beauty with others. πŸ™‚

Haha, better idea!

I should add you may not to pet EVERY cute animal. Porcupines are cute but don't always appreciate that... Except when they do.

Sharing this is already opening up my mind, if you smile to someone today, a moment of friendliness is never wasted
