On some level, such posts are right, but they deflect from the real question which is: what meaning CAN human life have?
For example, I think that one of the most important things that humans can do is create beauty in the form of art, architecture, literature, poetry, or film. This appreciation of what we see around us and ability to recognize the world around us, our separation from it OR inclusion within it, provides us with a(n albeitly self-created) purpose.

Ah! Well thats a different question altogether! The question that was originally proposed implied an inherrent reason. An objective universal purpose. A "meaning" of life.
To answer YOUR question, I'd say that a persons purpose in life is whatever he/she makes it.
