God’s inspired Word the Bible gives us the reason we should have in living if we hope to attain satisfaction. The psalmist declared: “To do your will, O my God, I have delighted.” (Ps. 40:8)
Jesus Christ stated similarly: “Look! I am come to do your will,” O my God. “My food is for me to do the will of him that sent me and to finish his work.” (Heb. 10:9; John 4:34)
The Christian apostle Paul also highlighted this very reason for living, saying that Christians should prove to themselves “the good and acceptable and perfect will of God.” (Rom. 12:2)
And the last book of the Bible also emphasizes this point: “You are worthy, Jehovah, even our God, to receive the glory and the honor and the power, because you created all things, and because of your will they existed and were created.” (Rev. 4:11)
Thus the Bible plainly underscores the reason for man’s existence. To use life for any other reason is to miss its purpose. So it would be well to ask ourselves, What are we doing with our life? Are we engaged in the doing of God’s will?

To satisfy the need to procreate.
All the rest is fun or nightmare depending the type of life form and location etc.
