   If you say, most humans, then so you say.   
      
   >>- for the time beings ...   
      
   Most humans may or may not ponder the meaning of Life,   
   as if Life had a purpose, some ultimate reason for Being   
   assuming Existence exists not for the porpoise, naturally.   
      
   From a Buddhist pov, there might be eight rights   
   followed via various rites and rituals, ore knots.   
      
   If you, personally, suffer   
   as a result, a reason, the reason, you desire, you want   
   the world to not be as you see it being, if your fear is   
   that your species, humans, is spoiling the world,   
   then, maybe Buddhism has an answer.   
      
   To oar knots may be to follow a middle path.   
   Being a Taoist, personally, in a Taoist group, options,   
   techniques, Ways exist, e.g. being gnarly, like a tree, etc.   
      
   - choices vary, kinda like milage ... Thanks again!
