A need to reproduce isn't the only thing that motivates humans...

True for an individual.

For life seen as a part of system/society reproduction is the key motivation (for lack of a better word). Non-reproducing activities are irrelevant temporary aberrations because societies that don't reproduce get extinct and are replaced by societies that focus on reproduction.

That's right. Some actions we take help our families or our society survive and propagate.
