What Is The Sole Purpose Of Our Lives?

 

What Is The Actual Goal / Purpose Of Our Lives? 

"The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honourable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well." - Ralph Waldo Emerson.

Have you ever thought about the possibility that our existence encompasses more than just the daily routines of supporting our families and working toward financial stability? While it's true that some individuals may strive to achieve success in business or to provide for their loved ones, it's crucial to acknowledge that in doing so, we may sometimes lose sight of our humanity and become detached from our emotions like a zombie. At birth, the world is a place of magic and awe, but our perspectives can change as we grow and develop, and the world may appear to lose some of its splendour. Society often pressures us to prioritise success and wealth above all else, but as Ralph Waldo Emerson stated, "the purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honourable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well." This idea can be a thrilling and intellectually stimulating concept to contemplate. Let's see...why are we searching for a goal? It is because our emotions are more important to us than our life. We can go to any extent to complete that goal. We want a goal to get us an escape plan from the psychological trap that we have set for ourselves.  So the question here is, CAN WE COME OUT OF THIS TRAP?? And the answer is YES because this is the trap we set up.

So, if we can fix it, we can also break it. But the thing here is we don't want to come out with this trap because this trap gives us a specific identity; this keeps us in a different space from everybody else. But then you might think that if this provides us with an identity, why would we want to lose it?? Let's understand this with an example: we get a salary and protection, but we still hate our work. Why?? Because it restricts us from being the person we are. We must keep the position the same as us. We have to change ourselves according to the work that I call self-imprisonment. So, the sole purpose of life is to live a life totally, to love life totally ( by living and loving, I don't mean to party every night but to enjoy every moment ). Before leaving this beautiful life, you must be satisfied and have explored everything about yourself. The purpose of life is to know who you are, not to understand what is this universe or world because the universe and world exist only then when you exist; otherwise, for you, its existence is nothing. So live life, touch every dimension of yourself, and balance yourself properly. That's the sole purpose of life. 

                                            We have our own made purposes, which we want to pursue and be who we thought we could be, but there is no GOD-GIVEN purpose for us. Having a purpose in life is essential, but the only purpose of achieving that goal is life.....that's where you are taking it wrong. Have your own made sense, pursue it, achieve it but remember to live the journey. Goals are made to be completed, but the only thing that is always left unachieved is happiness. You make that purpose of giving you the power to change or mould it, not to the drive to change or develop you.
