I'll explain:
Lets say you live your life to serve others, okay? Well, you make other people feel good.
Why is this important?
Well, your fellow humans are better off.
Why is this important?
Um... they feel good, duh
Yea, but why is this important?
We like to be happy?
Why?
It feels good.
Why?
Well thats how our brains evolved?
So?
Wow Grant, you're so amazing!
You might as well have made some prebiotic soup feel "happier".
I'm having trouble making my point, lol
You and I might as well be some green slime sitting in a puddle right now. The only thing that makes us anything else is just a fart load of chance events compiling.
Did that make any sense?
If you ask "why" enough, our actions don't really mean anything.

Why? Why do what you do that you want to do? Are you trying to impress or find a reason to keep going on?
Do it for your fellow human beings. Do you hate human beings? Do you like life or your life?
Do you have a lot of fun in life or is it a drizzel? We are all in it together until the end. Figure out what the greatest Happiness in your life is... maybe it's societal happiness maybe it isn't. Depend on it and feel alive! Change your mind if you want to!
What I am saying is look at yourself. Your a human being among a bunch of other human beings... what are you getting out of it. If you don't believe in a God of some sort then the herd is what you have. My pleasures are writing, science, and women. I love Beautiful books, technology that improves life and reaches for the answers of what Reality really is, and Beautiful Women: Current fav is Natalie Portman today. Be entertained but don't recede with the public view of religion. If you feel you need to have a life after this then grab a religion and hold onto it with all you got. Reality could be so much better for everyone without all the religious scabs and power leeches out in the world. Both go hand in hand!
