Just a vessel for the onward transmission of DNA.

Thats all there is! No mystery really.
Hmmm, how do we unpack that, Wheeze?

Your second line reminds me that someone once told me that a tree is a device used by a seed to propagate its genes. The human equivalent of that is fairly obvious, but it's a rather bleak view of human existence. Indeed, a view that is rather likely to cause Depression, especially in single, childless people. [By the way, Leaf, how are you getting on these days?]

But you did also say, "To Live, To Love, To Learn, To Leave a Legacy." There is more to life than propagating your genes. It may still be painful at times (rather like fell-running!), but there is a purpose in life, even when we are unsure what that purpose is.
