I mean, we live because there's so much in this world for us. Good food, good friends, good sex? We have our material property and lots of things to do.
What about the machines? Is hunting human rebels all they live for? Or maybe they created the Matrix so that they can have fun watching us "live our lives".
My main questions is why do the machines want to live?
Because we endowed the machines with the very spirit of man
(see Renaissance I & II on the Animatrix DVD). They are sentient
beings, and sentient beings want to exist and thrive.
Humans gave them life, and when humans became a threat they were forced to preserve their "species"©
when a machine is very complicated it can start having feelings. they feel jsut as much as humans, they are no longer machines, they are animals. and even though the real world seems like a big dumpster it dosnt bother the machines: theyr philosophy is different. jsut because we like blue skyes and birds dosnt mean they do. they have their own life style
Final point: All living things (or semi living in this case) have a will to live, whether they have a purpose in life or not.

Hmm...Smith said quite rightly "Without purpose we would not exist." If the machines did not have a purpose, they will not have the will to live.
