What is the aim of life?

The aim of life is twofold: to create the concrete and to consummate it---the latter by appreciating or enjoying it.

The abstractions of metaphysics are not ends in themselves, but means to wisdom and goodness in achieving this aim.

Inference: metaphysics is to wisdom (which is the objective of philosophy's quest) as means are to end.
