I think this is a correct line of thought to a point. There is not greater purpose, and if there is, it ought to be unlike any other form of purpose. Since in general purpose is built up -- you do some task for a purpose, and that purpose is a task in some greater purpose.

As far as individual contentment, it seems maybe the truest greater purpose is actually itself: the greatest purpose is to have a greater purpose that your everyday purposes are acting towards. This gives a consistent mechanism I think, but still incomplete, or is it? Its incomplete because the "why" of the greater purpose doesn't seem to emerge from it existing. But this was mentioned at first: the why is for individual contentment, or more technically, for positive consciousness, joy, happiness, love, whatever you want to call it. The sort of existence which when you are it, you don't need or care to ask about a greater purpose, because you can feel..you know, that you're fulfilling it.
