It definitely does give you a default answer to keep going. And I don't think thats a terrible thing.
I was lucky to have a great childhood. Becoming a parent is one route to giving someone else a great childhood. Lots of humans derive a feeling of meaning from giving good things to other humans, whatever form that might take. Parenthood isn't the only way to do this, of course.
Also, eventually one generation might figure it all out. We can only keep going and find out!
