Q: I can understand as animals we are survival machines, blindly programmed to preserve the selfish molecules known as genes but why a desire to give birth to a child that has no benefit to our living at all. I know that we all have a desire to perform in sexual activities and 'If' there was a God then perhaps this was his way of making us multiply, i.e. we desire sex, even with a small side effect of popping out a child. But I don't believe in God. So why multiply?
For life to get this far it appears to me that life can do anything it wants and if that was so then why instead of forming reproductive organs, think of a way of sustaining its own life permanently. Why in a world of no rules do they all follow some, not only some but all the so called 'independent' molecules of life follow the 'same' rules from the start to the end.
A: There is no reason in asking "why."
There is no logical answer. We are impelled by our desires, which ultimately do not satisfy our INDIVIDUAL purposes, but satisfy the call of the SPECIES as a whole.
That is, an individual's existence is the agency by which the species achieves achieves immortality. A man dies, but the species does not--this is accomplished by the noxious agent we call "love."
let us examine the matter a little further:
(For humour, I will use the word "love.")
Love is the pretext whereby so many people crucify themselves to the arrangement of marriage, relationships, and commitments, for a reason no better than mere obsession.
If man were to think logically of this arrangement, he would spare himself the burden of irrationally committing his life (and sacrificing so many freedoms) to another, in a relationship that will insidiously produce pleasure in the beginning, and pain or insanity in the end. The purpose of this arrangement is instrumental not to individual happiness, but the production of offspring.
If one were to think logically of relationships and love, 70% of the marriages that end in divorce in the U.S. simply would not be.
The trifling topics that comprise 90% of a woman's discourse about "relationship problems" would not be.
How many arguments do you hear regarding problems of love?
You need only look at the Singles and Dating section in Yahoo! Answers to confirm my statements --how irrational are all these people? How miserable are they? Most of the threads posted are of a problem--one that often leads to unimaginable despair... confirm this for yourself. See what nature's design has in store for the individual.
Love is the Sundew of humanity. It will provide the sweetest nectar and the most beautiful display, only to kill you in the end.
Simply put, Love is not for the individual; it is for the propagation of the species.
In short, there is no logical reason for the arrangement and "multiplication" of which I speak. It is a mechanism of evolutionary efficiency. We call it "love."
