    To experience all in life that we would choose to experience.

    The purpose of human life is self-improvement!

    Btw, your question assumes that there is some intelligent entity which put us here for a purpose. Otherwise, there's no purpose! Purpose implies intelligence. If we're here as the result of a series of accidents, there's no intelligence, hence no purpose.

    I love yours :D I have actually made it a point to do just that haha.

    Maybe:

    The purpose for human life is to love and create something that can survive you.

    Be it knowledge, a child, a piece of art, etc.

    The purpose of Human life is to change our internal quality of Egoism (Unconditional Love of the Self), into Altruism (Unconditional Love of Others), in order to experience unlimited pleasure and existence, perfection, and complete wholeness with everything in existence.

    That's a good one. I like yours. I also like the Langston Hughes poem:

    I play it cool

    And dig all jive

    That's the reason

    I stay alive.

    My motto,

    As I live and learn, is:

    Dig and be dug

    In return.
