There must be destructive as well as constructive forces...
The Meaning of life is to support life and create change.
Hi!! I do not accept that the meaning of life is to support other life and create change. The argument, or your layout of it, falsely imposes the human characteristics of altruism or selflessness onto nature, without any logical basis. You have erroneously situated the food chain as the end (to support life) and not the means to an end (survival), but according to our scientific and lay apprehension of the world, we know that self-preservation is the driving force behind nature, i.e, the gazelle does not deliver itself up to the lion, the flower does seek out the herd, but rather flees danger, and seeks out sun and nutrients, respectively. And as far as your stipulation that only living things that support life should live, we have only to use the example of the largest supporters of life on the planet, and that is water and sun. These are not living things and yet without them there would be no life on this planet. Conversely, how would you even justify the concept of death, an end to which all living things move, in a system where the purpose and meaning or end of life is to support life? There must be destructive as well as constructive forces in life. The motivation for change, or adaptations/mutation/evolution again has survival as its prime motivation, not altruism or the want to be remembered. This is an exaggerated imposition of human traits onto nature. But even as far as humans are concerned, change is inevitable, the individual will change as he evolves/moves toward the end of life. There is no objective measurement for what changes result in one being remembered, or indeed how or when remembrance came to be the primary motivation behind life, or the changes one makes in his life. And lastly, the number of breaths or changes that people make during their lives have nothing to do with life, which is quantitatively and qualitatively the same. You are either alive, or you are not. There are children who die within a few hours of childbirth, and though they never had the opportunity to support another life or affect change, (beyond their brief time on this earth), it is possible that they will be remembered until the end of some interested party's days... This was painful...lol. Thank you very much for your time and attention
