What, other than survival is the end goal of human life
First and foremost, human life is defined by the ability to suffer. Life itself has no meaning other than suffering. Suffering is what makes us, well...alive. The purpose of our lives as humans is not to be happy or enjoy ourselves (although we may do so as an indirect consequence), but rather to suffer as much as possible - after all, who wants a short lifespan where they are only mildly distressed? No one wants that! We want decades upon decades of torturous pain! Now, I am speaking for humanity in general here - if it were up to me I would have everyone on Earth kill themselves at once with nuclear weapons - however, realistically that isn't going to happen anytime soon.
Instead, human society has come up with the concept of "happiness". Happiness is merely a side-effect of prolonged suffering. It's like how if you torture someone for long enough they'll eventually become numb to whatever you do to them and stop feeling any pain. At that point they are, in effect, happy - although not really since their will to live has been sapped out of them due to your repeated torturing.
So, then the question is: how do we prolong human suffering? Well, first off you need to prevent people from killing themselves. Suicide is only acceptable in very extreme circumstances (such as terminal illness or severe depression), and even then it should be heavily discouraged by society at large.
A good method of prolonging human suffering is to create a society where everyone is constantly at each other's throats. This keeps the populace distracted and prevents them from discovering why they are alive - which, as I explained before, is so that they can suffer.
In order to do this you need a large population. A small population will be easily distracted and can work towards an equal society that is focused on improving the quality of life for everyone instead of prolonging suffering - which as I have explained, is completely undesirable.
So then you need to create a large population with the idea of equal rights and fair treatment for all. To do this you need to provide resources for everyone, but not too many resources so that they will always be fighting over them.
