If you could sit down with a wild animal and ask them “what is the meaning of life?”

They would probably answer “To grow up healthy from infancy to an adult, find a partner to love, and raise offspring in safety and security so that they might also grow to be healthy strong adults, and to spend the rest of your life surviving and watching your family grown.”

But most humans would never be content unless they satisfied the belief they have some lofty purpose to serve.
