What Is the Purpose of Life


One night of a rough party equals days of pondering and reflection. What is the purpose of life? Now you decide to set your life to what you think is clean living. You don’t go to the bars anymore, you even keep your eyes away from those nice girls. The result? You end up missing those pleasures so much that you crave for them. Again, “what is the purpose of life?”. Have you ever noticed that these lack of clarity resulted in us missing out the bliss and satisfaction that life has to offer?

If you say you know the purpose of living, I beg to disagree. These is a thought to contemplate on:
“Believe those who seek the purpose of life,
Doubt those who claim they found it. ”

The root of every misery is because the people overcomplicate simple things.

Mankind works because of sole reason: TO EAT, and should just end there. Some have the money but still strive to acquire more money. Some don’t have enough and struggle for an additional penny. As long as you have something to stuff on your mouth, then be contented. Don’t pity those who are starving if you can not do anything. That is the reality of life. Many live in masks that they live in an imaginary colorful world. They are on a state of deep sleep, dreaming of a paradise Earth. The time they wake up, they are faced with the atrocious realities of life. That is the root of their misery.

When your mind is clouded by your emotions when you are in despair, you might even end up asking questions to God on "Why is life so unfair?" or "Why does He doesn't seem to be listening to the pleas of the needy?". Remember, when you pray to God for your personal success, more people are out there, praying for your failure.

Mankind's knowledge of the complexities of life has opened the doors to other complexities. If we should have grown up completely unaware of the realities of life, without knowing the what is politics, or why do we have to work, or why do we have to dress up, what is our plan for tomorrow. then life would have been so easy.

When God created Adam and Eve, they were nude and the first couple did not care about it. When they ate the fruit as instructed by the Serpent, they realized they were nude after. So they wore something on. That was the history of the first clothing. haha! just kidding. I don't know if they were ashamed of each others figure but common sense tells us that if you know you are naked, then you clothe yourself. The point there is if you are innocent of something then you won't be concerned of it. I envy the baby who is totally oblivious of the world. Let the morons be morons. You can do very little to help them.

When you extensively search for the purpose of life, you will never be happy. The knowledge that happiness is the purpose of life, should end there. I say, ENOUGH!
I don’t know of a person who said he does not want anymore to live because of the hardships of life except those who are suicidal. A cancer patient struggling to breath in a hospital even thinks of the possibility to live further. Remember that NO MATTER HOW HARD LIFE IS, IT IS ALWAYS SWEET.

What has Corrupted the World of Happiness?

Happiness- What is happiness? Happiness is the result of satisfied wants. Happiness is the sense of fulfillment crafted from personal satisfaction. Happiness is the Herculian thing that mankind is ever needy of. If you were asked to list your needs and submit it to God for fulfillment, happiness is the single word which would summarize all your eternal list of needs.

What has corrupted this world of happiness?

It is better to rephrase the question. Who corrupted this world of happiness? The answer is WE! the society, the family, humanity itself corrupted itself from attaining happiness. Since the first day we came to understand the reasons behind the processes in living, our parents said to us that life is difficult, that money is hard to come by, that the government is corrupt, and all other pieces of filthy advices. Add to those the bad news riding the airwaves day by day. Then those soap operas displaying too much crying. The TV characters who are up to ears in tears during their time of distress that we watch. I don't know why do they have to portray life as a state of anguish. All these pieces of crap were stuffed to the minds of every person. So man lived in agony.

A secret to happiness is, don't bother yourself to things you can't change. Let us examine the discussion below.

Interviewer: How do you feel about the children dying of hunger in Ethiopia?
Answer: I'm sad for them.
Interviewer: How sad?
Answer: Very sad.

Now analyze your disposition if you are to answer the question yourself. Are you also sad for them? Hey! wake up! What if you are very very sad , is something done? None! You should have fed them but you can't, so leave them behind. You're just hurting yourself on a cause which could even be assumed as none existent.

The world is made up of three matters. These are matters you can change, matters you cannot change and matters you can do very little to introduce change. I can change my clothes but I cannot change the corrupt government. I cannot also make money to come easily. I cannot change my wife because I don't have one. lol....Of course I will not be changing her if I got married. If you know you can not change something, don't even try thinking of it, or you end up in despair, then you lose your confidence and eventually your self-esteem takes the toll.

Traversing The Imprints of The Broken Hearted

A long, long time ago…..In a Carribean cruise…., AND THEY LIVED HAPPILY EVER AFTER.

Were those “words” invented only for the use of romance novelists? Will they just be the wrapping words of fairy tale endings? Or simply put it as an element of love stories in fiction writing?

So much issues surfaced about relationship but the scenario is still the same. Man and woman or gentleman and lady meets on an occasion. Man/woman finds the other awesome or attractive. Man/woman sends of an invitation and goes for a date. They plunge into an ecstatic relationship.
And comes along the scene, man/woman meets another of the opposite sex. Goes back to man/woman finds that new acquaintance attractive and then sends of an invitation for a date. Man or woman choses to be with the new lover, leaving the other emotionally crushed.

So many variations, yet revolves around the same script. Same script, different cast. We will just call it as the broken-heart cycle.

Most of those in despair don’t seek advice. Afraid of opening up to family members and friends as they think of being ridiculed or some other personal reasons. They resort to isolating themselves and go through sleeplessness or lock up themselves and sleep unusually very long hours. Some won’t have the inkling to eat or won’t even have the thought of eating while some would indulge in eating too much and often. Others would have alcohol and drink unmindful of tomorrow. It’s their way of healing a broken heart although most people undergoing depression are totally oblivious of a purpose in their mind as they don’t even have their thoughts organized during those times.

Ending up in turmoil after an unwanted relationship break-up is an emotional issue. It’s the emotional attachment that made you like grieving over the loss of a beloved. The deeper you are emotionally attached to your lover then the more pain it will cause you in case of a break-up.

One has two options when entering into a relationship. First is to make it a great deal. Full of ideals, a world like “I shall be Romeo and YOU be JULIET”, exchanging words like “I do everything for you”, wishing that those elating moments would never come to an end and having songs like Bon Jovi’s “Heaven“. Just in case you’d have to lose each other, you would be, from heaven thrown to hell.

Next option is to live your life as close as the life you already had prior to knowing your partner. Of course the attachment is still there as it is the major engredient of a relationship. Be true to yourself. Loving is not making yourself change for your partner. It is the other way around. Your partner would love you for the way you are. Now, in case, you result to a break-up. Ask yourself, “What had you lost”? Dignity? I hope not.
