We are vehicles for our genes. These genes exist to propagate themselves, as they have for hundreds of thousands of years. Not all gene combinations will be successful i.e. propagate themselves. We are those genetic failures.
So what do we do with our more-futile-than-usual lives? If we have siblings, we should be funneling resources toward them so that their offspring can flourish, as they carry some of our genes. For those who have no siblings, you can trick your mind with metaphorical immortality and achieve something great. You'll never truly feel fulfilled, however. I don't believe that anyone who doesn't pair bond and reproduces in a stable family unit achieves true fulfillment.
