A Theory Of Life

If one were to build a machine that would do nothing more than replicate itself, it would be useless.  For most of my life I determined human life had the express purpose of continuing propagation of the species, but if the only purpose of human life is to perpetuate itself, then it has no purpose.  Humans are born, live, die, and it is meaningless.

If there were a reason for humanity it would be to make the world a better place, using superior knowledge to help all creatures. Yet what do humans do with their brains? They use them to design better weapons of death for any and all creatures, including themselves. As efficient as they are at this endeavor, the human population continues to grow at an alarming rate, overwhelming the ability of our planet to support itself.
