I mean, i agree about the behavior of many.
I think, though, that most people, in their more honest moments, want something much more, and i believe Jesus offers the answer:
"A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you so you must love one another. By this all men will know you are my disciples, if you love one another." (His words in John, chapter 13)
He wasn't talking about sex, He was talking about the same love He expressed: A willingness to sacrifice all, even ones own life, for the benefit of others.
THAT is the meaning of life, the reason why we are here: To be loved by God and to love others as he loved us, with all the power He supplies.
Loving others, isn't that one reason why you give so much of your time here, M_2? To give what you've got--knowledge that they need?
