We all wonder what the meaning of life is. Why are we here? What's the meaning of it all? I think I know what it is. The meaning of life... is immortality.
That is our ultimate goal; to make sure no one dies. Most of us already know this. We try to be nice to people, avoid war at all costs, and attempt to stop people from killing others. We also try to make our life last as long as possible, by exercising, or by creating something great so others will remember us. Yet, we have not begun to truly become immortal.
Let me address why this is our purpose in life. If we assume there is a meaning of life, then it follows that life must have meaning. And if life is to have a meaning, then there needs to both be life, and a reason for it. Since death is the end of life, and life is needed for there to be a meaning to life, then the reason for life is to prevent death. Hence, the meaning of life is to find immortality.
Determining the benefits of immortality is left as an exercise for the reader, and will be touched upon in the next blog.

Maybe life doesn't have meaning. Maybe we try to give it meaning.
Evolution.
True, but how can we prove it, either way?
