Purpose
Whenever I think of myself I look into my brain and think of myself as person , my past, my dreams, my relations and many more things. But if we think what are we really living for? In someone's perspective life is really beautiful and kind as that person have experienced those kinds of experiences and other would have totally different kind of thoughts about life or self realization. We constantly seek for pleasure which can be in forms of relations, money , materialistic things , increasing self worth in various ways or may be making some experiences for us. We all are trying to understand life in our own way. Why we are born? What is purpose of our life? Lifetime we search these questions and still many don't find answers to these simple but deep questions.
We cannot picture of life of mine as separate as it is not possible and will not be anytime in future. There will be always people, nature , biotic and abiotic agents which will affect my thought process and change me in some way or other. For some one meaning of life would be in having lot of money and success which would be in terms of power(it depends how much scale one can imagine) and other can have total other perspective which can be in terms of experiences he have(exploring would be top priority).Depending upon circumstances we exposed we all have our own values and ethics which decide what we prioritize and work for. But at the end we all seek satisfaction (the feeling of being complete in yourself and having some meaning to our life).But as we can see now days because of modernization and social media influence what we needed in life which is values are getting polluted(can say, also we can get more composed thoughts to listen and new ways to see life) but mostly we see negative effects of it. What our generation is facing is problem of not identifying self clearly and constantly comparing ourself with others , We are the ones who will decide purpose of our own life, but don't you think it is also not ours fully . See from child we gone through some certain situations which can considered as x in maths and performed some operations on it. And depending on its original nature and characteristics it changed into now what it is. Isn't similar to what we are now? Motive to say this is we dream of money, happy relation or whatever like being greatest in respective field or any other big small all dreams have came from what circumstances we gone through. So is it truly what we are made for? Or is it something we are missing and just following something else which is the result of those situations. For example one can be really interesting in games but cause of his family background he came to know about science and was really good at it due to his hard work and intelligence. He later on became very famous scientist and have all pleasure what we are aiming for but he might not be happy, cause he always wanted to participate in games subconsciously but never knew consciously and never tried to learn it. That's what is happening with us we are accepting what we have in our life and never try to leave our comfort zone. Once you leave it you would realize how many interesting things in life can have and how cruel life can be at same time, also what level of co-incidences can happen and what we really good at or in other way what our true passion is but we did not knew cause we never tried it or it can be geographically , financially or any other reason situation that it was not possible in those circumstances. Point here I want to say is about leaving your comfort zone and explore , reason we hesitate to leave it cause we are afraid on unknown but surprisingly most interesting thing lies outside it and most beautiful life moments also lies here.
If we think other way now , one person is leaving life in such way his parents told him to live. He followed their path and he also wanted the same for him but now he is not happy and satisfied. He has everything he wanted and achieved what he desired but he is not happy cause he does not any purpose in life . It is the single thing which gives meaning to life (can be really better or worse than death) but purpose gives meaning to it. So finding it should be more important to us which do not do just blindly follow our paths which are given by our parents, teachers , or other way our education system teaches us. They give punishment when we make mistake and clap for us when we make progress but don't understand that making mistake is part of learning in majority time rather winning, hence we just have simple values which are limited to us , and also are selfish. Now take that person for instance, all might be looking at successful or happy but deep inside he knows he is not happy.But he has those privilege which poor person does not have. But poor person might be happy cause he does not dream for big things and satisfied with his current situation, now in this case who is more fulfilled we can't say poor person cause at mental level he might be satisfied but at physical level daily he is getting pain and this pain affecting him mentally, and in case of rich person he has privilege which can be used for physical well being but he is not mentally well, so it is affecting his physical . In short all things are inter dependent in this universe we can't imagine something as separate entity and success, money, satisfaction and spiritual values are equally important. Balance is other meaning of life , maintaining balance in all these things is necessary, unless we cannot find we are gonna suffer, cause we would be giving less attention to one thing and more to other. And this cause problem on both as thing which has less attention becomes poor and affects other and thing which we do more affects us adversely as we get addicted to it.
Lastly, just simple thought, our life is like prison isn't it? You could say that we are free to do everything we want and we are not bound anything. I am not gonna talk about national boundaries or money cause we can gain it and become most powerful person. But in terms of body, we are bound we cannot do certain things like fly, control our body process which are automated. It's just the one thing but major is , we are daily seeing(meet) same people majorly and our day is fixed that what we are gonna do , there is sure certainty in every uncertain and uncertainty in every certain thing. So our routine is fixed , daily activities are fixed , our job is fixed isn't it like prison. 24 hours almost same everyday , uncertainty is also fixed(what events would occur) , if someone finds it that he is just trapped is there any way to escape it. May be we could say that change profession or do what we love but there also we get same things (we are having fix life time) we can't do all things on our own and at same time we say that we are greatest and have everything within me to achieve what I want what a paradox.
Nice one 👍
