hhmm, the 'supposed to be' part throws me. That strongly suggests Intention by ....something.

It is what it is through cause and effect I guess. Einstein said the Universe is an event, so everything that 'is happening', did happen, and will happen. Personally I kinda hope it is 'just physics' playing out the math on a cosmic pallet. I would be pretty pissed off if 'something' intended life to feed on life, might makeing right, the innocent merilessly suffering, and the overall hopelessness most face in their journey.

I had the 'God has a plan for your life' thing pounded into my head since childhood. Just one trip to a nursing home, seeing the masses of elderly humanity, mindless and pissing themselves, made me sincerely hope no one actually 'planned' this as a conclusion of their long struggle. -- Carpe Diem

So I suppose the best thing to do is stop worrying about some Cosmic Intention, take the raw materials from reality, set your own intentions, work to make them your reality ---and design a good one! Evidence suggests there's not something out there designing it for you.
