What is the meaning of life? That is simple, just open your eyes and acknowledge the precious creature you are.  You breathe, eat, excrete waste, reproduce, and die.  That is your sole function for being.  That is natures plan for the human race.  So as humans we should acknowledge our responsibilities.  The universe is astrologically huge and we have infinite opportunities to seed ourselves about.  We must begin to ensure life spreads to every corner of the heavens, not as conquers but as seeds on the winds.  Just as it is meant.
