In Voltaire's Candide, he said "for as all things have been created for some end, they must necessarily be created for the best end. Observe, for instance, the nose is formed for spectacles, therefore we wear spectacle. The legs are visibly designed for stockings, accordingly we wear stockings. "
I think it is so true that there always a reason for things that exists on the earth. But what are the reasons though? Does the reason of those weaker animals being on the earth is to be eaten by the stronger ones?
People eat meat, vegetables for survival. People would argue that they don't need to eat meat to survive, though they eat vegetable. So the reason for vegetables to be on the earth is to be eaten by people? If not so, why would we eat vegetables?
It seems to be a universal rule that the stronger creatures are going to destroy the weaker ones. Then what are the reasons for then even to be on the earth at the first place?
