Co-exist to survive. Not dominate. People have the brainpower & ability to ensure the survival of ALL life! If you are looking for a purpose, just look outside! Our purpose should be to keep this planet alive & thriving.
We should all learn from the non-human species, in order to survive we must first learn to co-exist. Not just co-existence between people, co-existence between all life. Recognize the niche (purpose) of other life forms (including plants) around you & most of all ... LEARN everything you can about your surroundings & EVERYTHING that lives in those surroundings.
The second you think that humankind is in any way superior to other forms of life, you become the lowest form of life and are no better than bacteria or parasites soon to be plucked from the hide of existence by a swarm of birds simply fulfilling their purpose ... living, co-existing, adapting, in balance & imbalance as always.
We as humans have a great ability of understanding, learning, predicting, adapting & using emotion to better ourselves & help us learn & realize the beauty & wonder of life. Lets use those abilities for what they were obviously meant for, to ensure the survival & balance of life in it's many amazing forms & abilities & to recognize how precious it is, with or without us.
