There is only one really serious philosophical question, and that is suicide - Albert Camus in The Myth of Sisyphus.

Yes we can invent stupid justifications for life like 'life is about love', 'life is helping others' and a million other equally bizzare justifications but in the end its just a pointless absurdity.

There is no more value or correctness in calling life 'pointless' or 'absurd'.

Framing things that "life is about helping people" is bizarre and "in the end life is absurd and pointless" is not right, it's still trying to put human concepts on an inexplicable universe, but positioning oneself as superior to everyone else while doing so.
