Who are we

Sometimes I think everyone wonders why we are here.  To raise children is one obvious answer, but what about after that? 

Some people still assist in caring for the young.  Some produce food for the rest of us, or process it, or sell it. Some create medicine to keep us from leaving here before our time and even changing that time.  The rest assist in some form of perpetuating the culture of those we call modern man I suppose.

I hope there really is a mystery regarding our creation, that we are here for some good reason, not just as a science experiment gone bad that might destroy itself given enough time.

I know I love some of my fellow creatures very much.  They have a sweetness, a giving, caring goodness that must be good for us all. 

We are not simple creatures and I am thankful for that.  Motivated by more than simple survival makes us one fascinating layer after another, so never give up.  You never know what anyone's next layer will be, especially not your own.

And that is something I learned by living through lots of layers.
