I believe that most of us have been taught somewhere along the years of our education the Theory of Evolution. I don't recall the full details of it, but what I got out of that theory is that creatures live to survive and reproduce; to leave pieces of their genes to persist in this world.
It seems that we do the same. We want our existence to be immortal and stand against time, but we know that it can't be achieved physically. So we wish to leave our actions or names to be remembered by each other in some form. Like an old Korean proverb, "A tiger leaves its skin, while a man leaves his name," we leave pictures, monuments, photographs, and any forms of art for the people we care about or for reference to ourselves in the future. Through our writings, our personal thoughts and ideas come to life and who knows? The remnants of our minds may eventually survive, be remembered, and persist in their form as writings.
It is as though our minds are also bound to the rules of that theory to live and survive in order to persist.
