Similarly, there may be no inherent purpose to the universe or us, but we still can assign purpose and make our lives purposeful, right?

A finite, accidental being assigning its own purpose makes no more sense than a dead tree branch assigning its own purpose.

It makes more sense to me. Dead tree branches don't think.
Why is there a distinction for assigning purpose to selves? If I manipulate someone (use him as a tool), I give him a purpose. People can certainly have purposes that were unintended at their creation. Why can't selves?
