What is life supposed to be about?

Nothing.
People make sense out their own lives.
Whatever they choose, they choose because that is what makes sense to them.

Life is about confronting the fleeting futility of your own existence. It's about opening your mind to incomprehensible vastness of space and time in the universe and seeing your place as a fleeting mote in that vastness. It's about understanding how insignificant any action you may take today may be and taking action anyway and being OK with the outcome. It's about understanding the past that brought you here, seeing the moment in time that is your own existence, and trusting the future you will never experience.
