Here is my best answer to the meaning of life:

The meaning of life is to discover what that and all other reasons are. We are intrinsically driven as thinking creatures to find what the meaning of every event, action, and random occurrence. The universe is a paradox, the reason is to find the reason, and we determine the reasons we want to look for. Our purpose is to find the meaning of a meaningless equation.

Not because it's pointless, but because we accomplish it.
