Does everything we do have the ultimate goal of procreating?

I wondered if basically everything we do, unconsciously or consciously, is intended to achieve our instinct (reproduction). Even just having fun or something like that, it would just be to improve our image and find a partner. I know this is a very spirituality-destroying question.

Answer

Socio-biologists claim that. But after all, you still determine the purpose of your own life. Even though most people also like to have children over time to pass on something of their own. But that is something more than just the urge to reproduce as the goal of human life.
