LIFE'S TRUE MEANING.. WHY EXACTLY ARE WE ALIVE TODAY?

in #life6 years ago

Having been away for quite some time now, trying to piece back bits and pieces of my life together and get it under control, I start to wonder:

What really is the essence of life?
Why were we born?
What are we destined to become?
What is the whole point of life and death?

Most people come and go without achieving a thing, seeing their lives makes me want to do more, but i'm almost always interrupted by unfortunate events and findings,

I wonder why each person is so different
I wonder how someone can be extremely bad while someone else extraordinarily good
I wonder how people reason in different ways entirely
and I also wonder how different people get to react to the same situation in different ways

Whatever aspect we look at it from we all will definitely be marveled by the awesomeness of life itself, but at the same time we are disappointed at what it gives to us some times.
And we end up asking questions like

Why are we alive?
what was i born to achieve?
why are people poor and why do people suffer?
why do people die?
if we are eventually going to die then what's the essence of living

Till today even religion finds it difficult to provide a 100% satisfactory answer to these questions and we all are left stranded with these questions to answer ourselves.

But why ask questions that can't be answered?
why ask questions that could have answers that limit our freedom and dictate to us what to do?
why ask questions when we could just live!!!!!

Some people lose focus in life because they are busy trying to find out if they are on the right path or if they are following their 'destiny' when they could have easily created a path for themselves.

We don't need to be handed a step by step guide on what to do and what not to do when we already have a conscience that guides us.
Life has been given to us, yes we all agree that life would be better 'íf' we know our purpose in it, but no we don't so we have to keep living that way instead of waiting for a divine purpose from above.

Why dream of a purpose for your life when you can create one for yourself ?
why wait when you can act now and make this life a better one for yourself and people around you?

Take life as a school, we learn everyday, sometimes we pass and sometimes we fail but if we strive hard to create and attain a targeted goal then we certainly will succeed in having lived a fulfilling life.
