Life is a self-renewing, self-reproducing, self-motivated system. It is what it is.
Years ago, Kurt Vonnegut wrote a TV special that was a sort of pastiche of all his novels. Towards the end, an astronaut who's been launched through time and space to all sorts of different random destinations, finds himself in a graveyard looking at his own tombstone. And from the sky God says, "See what a good job God has done." The astronaut says that he feels puny and unimportant next to God, no better than mud.
God answers, "If you want to feel the least bit important, think about all the mud that never even got to sit up and look around." Well, yeah.
