If your question translates into "Why are we here?" I'd say that question is up to us to answer.

A line from a teleplay that's always stayed with me. In Kurt Vonnegut's "Between Time and Timbuktu," astronaut Stony Stevenson has a conversation with God; Stony tells God that he feels as insignificant as mud. God answers, "If you want to feel the least bit significant, think about all the mud that never got a chance to sit up and look around."

Amen
