Correct me if this is not true

Life, is there a point
we are humans
we are born
we observe life
we mimic other life, what is the best way for life to be lived
we are taught how to live life by other humans

we are taught by others to be safe, to protect our life from death
i dont want to die yet, i dont understand life
what is this strange thing called living
we live and keep on living

Our whole life revolves around trying to stay alive
we need food to live, we need money for food,
we need a job for money, we need to know how to work to get a job
we need to be educated to know how to work, we need to be old enough to be educated,
to be old enough we must live
why do we live? we live to survive, so we can continue living
So is the purpose of life to survive?

we spend our whole lives trying to not die when we know death will always get us in the end
what is the point we will never beat death
do you live to be remembered after your death
and what does that mean to you, you are dead
is there a purpose beyond just living?
life is pointless when there is no hope

Christianity is a rejection that the only purpose in life is to survive
the hope that there is an existence after this one
a hope that what we do in this life wont be meaningless
The belief that we were created for a purpose more than just to survive
It sets a purpose for your life, words to live by
So that you can live life without worrying
