Bacteria eat us when we're dead. Maybe we're being harvested to feed them.

The largest cell in the human body is the ovum, the female sex cell. The ovum is about 1000 micrometers, or one millimeter, in diameter. The ovum needs this size as nourishment before it implants itself in the uterus. It becomes this large by this means: In meiosis, there are two stages. In the first stage, the nucleus divides in a way that reduces the number of chromosomes to half in each nucleus generated. In the second stage, the sister chromosomes separate, largely resemble the meitosis. When the nucleus of the cell that will become the ovum divides the first time, it simply expells one nucleus. The second time, it does the same. This leaves one huge ovum and three little cells, called polar bodies, outside. (The expelled nucleus divides again, too.) The ovum does not release the second nucleus until it is fertelized. The tiny cells quickly die, because they have no organelles. put simply The ovum is the largest cell in the human body, typically visible to the naked eye without the aid of a microscope or other magnification device. The human ovum measures on average, 145 µm in diameter[citation needed].

Well, I suppose the bacteria think so! It's all a matter of perspective. I arrogantly assume my life's purpose is a little more noble than that. I don't expect to save the world, but I may be one of those who makes a difference for the better if I keep trying.

Your life's purpose is what you make of it. If you want it to be just housing a load of bacteria, then so be it. If it is do help others, then thats ok too. Only you can decide if that is the purpose of your life.

Yes, we are a living homeless shelter. I do like how many of the microbes help out and earn their keep.

Wow, imagine that. Each one of us is a universe to a heck of a lot of microbes. That's deep.

That is a good reason to take care of our bodies and keep them in balance
if not for those things our bodies would not be biodegradable

So how come I don't lose a bunch of weight whenever I take a course of antibiotics?

Well, ok. Now if they'd just start paying rent, too, I'd be happy.
