Why are we here?

A popular and interesting philosophical question is about our purpose in the world. Why did we take this life and what are we supposed to do? Considering any living being, after birth it need to look out for food, develop skills that are passed thru gene, and find a mate. Reproduce, raise children.

Human beings are slightly complex. We not only have to find food, but find food in a sophisticated manner. Learn different fields of studies, make yourself eligible for jobs, be street smart, land up in decent paying job. Looking carefully at the job ordeal, we see that such a complex process is not only for food, but also a yardstick to reach a better mate.

Considering all angle and aspects, life seems to focus on mating and leave a good signature through your children.

There is more to life than having children. Or, maybe I'm just a fool. There are so many people getting married each day, the world will survive even if a few of us don't have children. What we should be doing is make a conscious effort to evolve, as a person and as a species.

Let's all just do what feels right to us and everything else will sort itself out :D
