>what is the most important thing to do as a human?
i'd say enjoying nature, enjoying art and creating art
>what do you feel are our 'responsibilities'?
every human should have a relationship with nature and every human should express themselves artistically

As the only creatures on this planet capable of truly investigating nature and the universe, I say our responsibility is to discover the world and the universe with the more civilised parts of us, before our human nature gets the best of us and we kill ourselves.

i think exploration and survival kind of go hand in hand
the more we discover nature, the more we want it to thrive with us

To not fail at it would be a beginning.
So many people fail miserably at simply being a proper human being.

Apprectiation of everyday experiences, love of the ordinary and humdrum, marvel at the miracle of existence and human conciousness.

"Behold, what I have seen to be good and to be fitting is to eat and drink and find enjoyment in all the toil with which one toils under the sun the few days of his life which God has given him, for this is his lot. Every man also to whom God has given wealth and possessions and power to enjoy them, and to accept his lot and find enjoyment in his toil—this is the gift of God. For he will not much remember the days of his life because God keeps him occupied with joy in his heart."

I don't think we have any responsibilities, but it's better to treat each other with compassion, and collectively advance in every realm of knowledge.

I believe humans have no purpose, you could just as easily ask the question "What is the real purpose of manatees?" the only difference being that no people care about manatees in the same self-cantered way that they care about themselves and want their meaningless existence to matter. Manatees are a very down to earth animal.

That's a bit of a loaded question. Most, or at least many, western philosophers agree the most important thing is to be happy. However what if your happiness involves inflicting pain upon others?
I suppose that'd lead into your second question. I consider some of our responsibilities to be being kind to one another, tolerance of culture, not eating animals [inb4 hur dur preachy vegan], and most importantly, at the end of the day, being happy. Of course that 'happiness' should not be 'pleasure' as you might get from inflicting pain on a person, but real, true, happiness.
