I don’t like philosophy. From a pragmatic perspective, the pursuit of truth allows us to see the reality and nature of the world clearly, and prevents us from being deceived and suffering unnecessary losses. Moreover, truth can also be used to improve our lives. For example, humans can study various Electromagnetic phenomena clarify the principles of electromagnetism, and then invent and use various electrical equipment and communication equipment based on these principles. Then there is human curiosity and the love of solving puzzles. It is inherently pleasurable to figure out things that you didn’t understand before and to figure out the true and false and the ins and outs of various strange things. No matter from the perspective of feeling spiritual pleasure or for one's own interests, pursuing the truth is beneficial
The existence of life is to survive. The reason why we exist is because we do not want to survive. Those who could not survive, or who could not survive, died. Truth is an understanding of the objective world. Only by understanding the world can we be better able to survive.

But in general, people want to be happy, and the purpose of survival is clearly written into your instinct to pursue happiness. Having sex can make you happy, getting married can make you happy, and having children can make you happy. hapiness. All of this is survival, the meaning of life manifesting itself in you.
We think we are controlling life, but in fact life is controlling us.
