Organic organisms spend an amazing amount of effort surviving, expending and collecting energy... Are human beings the only ones to ever stop and question why?
Why all the effort if all you are going to do is eat, sleep and shit anyways?
Why any effort at all, period.

Seriously though, we have the instinct to survive so we can....survive. It's genetics and ties into the natural selection part of evolution. Reproduce. To ask why further than that is to insinuate that there has to be purpose. Purpose in life is what you make it.
