Embrace the journey.

To blindly stagger through a series of events that inevitably lead to death.

To gather a grand knowledge of the world around us so that we may die and lose all our hard work like a human hard drive crash.

No one survives.

OR

To give meaning to a world where none naturally exists.

The last one points out the the universe is a bunch of flying particles, which is kinda pointless. Then consciousness arises, and suddenly, at least in our own minds, there is a meaning for every little thing. This is right and this is wrong: seriously? Well, if love and hate wouldn't exist without us, I guess that makes us just a little important.

I'm sorry, but I have no clue what that means.

Propagation is an instinctive drive which motivates humans to create. If you find meaning in creation, then that is a perfect answer. Any creative act gives my life more meaning. We can create love. Any act performed with love is very meaningful.
One cannot actually create. One cannot add either mass or energy. All matter is merely manipulated.
