NO TEXT IN PICTURE. My conclusion based on logical deductions, life has no meaning, we humans because we have "consciousness", create meaning to insure survival of the species. I will elaborate : 1. For humans something beyond the physical exist that we call "consciousness" , something ethereal remains (facts : The Buddha's through deep meditation remembers all his past lives, children sometimes remember past lives) . 2. The Buddha after his enlightenment, knew what should be done in order for the "consciousness" not to return to the physical dimension. So with total 100% non attachment that causes suffering, you can end the cycle of birth and death. 3. So this "consciousness" has to move in such a way to create meaning and most of the time results in suffering. Animals and AI don't need to create a meaning for life because no "consciousness" is involved. 4. If all humans can stop creating a meaning /purpose for their existence, which implies no attachment or suffering, then they will Become Buddhas (plural) and the human race will be extinct. 5. If for the sake of argument a human being is able to live all his life stagnant / without creating any purposes /action / meaning in his life, this would be his last "consciousness" trip in this life. 6. So my conviction and conclusion is that we Humans can't survive if meaning is not created by our " consciousness". I would like to quote this to finish. "The Buddha described this realization with great clarity in His own words after awakening: “Through many a birth in Saṃsāra I have wandered in vain, seeking the builder of this house. Painful is birth again and again. O house-builder, you are seen! You shall build no house again. All your rafters are broken, your ridge-pole is shattered. My mind has attained the unconditioned. " 7. At the end I am just a mortal, my words emanate from my limited perception of the seen and the unseen. Maybe in the near or far future after starting to use more of our brain capacity, our perception of the things in and around us will change.

On the left side, representing darkness and chaos, a stormy sky with lightning looms over a grayscale, decaying cityscape. A conveyor belt-like path winds upwards, populated by dark-skinned figures in different stages of life, from crawling baby to an adult, all walking towards the top. Beneath this path, a desolate landscape shows figures trapped or suffering, some kneeling, others standing in what appears to be a prison or chaotic setting. In the foreground on the left, a white humanoid robot sits calmly next to a white lamb, observing the scene.
On the right side, symbolizing enlightenment and peace, a vibrant golden sky with a rising or setting sun illuminates a lush, green landscape with mountains and waterfalls. A similar conveyor belt-like path, brightly lit, winds upwards, populated by monks in orange robes, also in different stages of life, moving towards the sun. Beneath this path, a serene landscape with flowing water, lush trees, glowing lotus flowers, and meditating monks. The foreground on the right shows a
