One of the most important questions we ask ourselves all the time is that what is a meaning of a life? Life is mysterious with plenty of strange things around us. The complexity of religion and science puzzles most of us, who are capable enough to think about the meaning and seeking for an explanation about the purpose of human life. Why cant we just keep life simple and make our own purpose out of it for living?
When a newborn baby dies after few hours, what should we make of her purpose? Did she do something wrong in her previous life that she even didn’t deserve proper life on earth? Or, was she really so good that god wanted her back to the heavens. It is common in other animals that newborn animals die and we treat these deaths simply as a nature’s survival principle and its result. So, why we have different feelings and perception about life for humans and animals?
Most of us find our own purpose and meaning of life within our work. Doctors want to save people’s lives, and that’s what they think their purpose is. Engineers want to create new instruments and make people’s lives better. And, criminals want to create chaos in the society and that’s what they see as a purpose of their lives. But, is it really what we suppose to do? Shouldn’t we looking for answers to the basic questions, shouldn’t we looking for a purpose and meaning of our lives on earth?
Which came to an existence first? A purpose or a life?
ReplyDeleteAt times searching for a purpose itself become the only meaningful purpose.
It really depends upon your belief. If you believe in God, then Purpose came first and God created life. But atheist believes that Life gives us a purpose and hence Life came first.
ReplyDeleteYou are right that sometimes finding an answer becomes a sole purpose of someone's life and then no other purpose is in his or her life. But, the main question remains the same, is it not worth spending time to find an answer, answer about origin and answer about our purpose?
