One thing I trust and believe, is that every animal on this great planet has a purpose for being. I may not like the purpose, but I still there is one. For instance, spiders are not exactly beloved creatures, yet without them we would be swiftly inundated with literally tons of bugs. Gophers are a nightmare for cattle and gardeners, yet they till the soil and distribute earth extremely efficiently. I hate mosquitoes, and yet they are great food for fish and amphibians. Some creatures may require a bit of study to find their reason for existing, but I'm convinced they all have one.
It's good to know we have a purpose in life. We human beings are self-aware and generally create our own purposes, for good or ill, so we tend not to think about it much. I doubt birds consider their purpose at all--seems like all they want to do is dive bomb my car and leave their gifts on my windshield. It must be nice not to need to worry about what you should be doing and if you're doing it well.
Funny how simple and easy it is to complicate everything we do. Birds and bumblebees are beautiful, plentiful, and maintain their composure through it all. Maybe it's enough just to know our purpose exists and not to worry to much about it? If you doubt it, just watch children at play. There, you see such innocence and delight that your heart will be lifted and all doubt of human existence will fade away. Children are blessings and signs of greatness to come. Everything has a purpose.
