We're not even certain what it means to be human, or why we are here...
and that's after smart people have been thinking about it for 1,000s of years.
So, I'm all for the birds dealing with their issues and humans dealing with

Why Am I Here?
Why am I here on earth? Where did I come from? What
am I worth? Do I have any intrinsic value? Do I serve a purpose? These
are all fundamental questions. They are life's "big questions." How you
answer these questions determines how you see the world and how you
treat the world. Because you are a part of the world, how you see the
world also determines how you see and treat yourself. So, it's important
that we resolve these fundamental questions. And it's important that we
discover the honest truth. Wrong answers to important questions aren't
helpful...

T
he meaning of life is a concept that provides an answer to the
philosophical question concerning the purpose and significance of life or
existence in general. It can be expressed through answering a variety of
related questions, such as "Why are we here?" "What is life all about?" and
"What is the meaning of it all?" It has been the subject of much philosophical,
scientific, and theological speculation throughout history. There have been a
large number of theories to these questions from many different cultural and
ideological backgrounds.
The meaning of life is deeply entrenched in the philosophical and religious
conceptions of existence, social ties, consciousness, and happiness, and
borders on many other issues, such as symbolic meaning, ontology, value,
purpose, ethics, good and evil, free will, conceptions of God, the existence of
God, the soul, and the afterlife...
