What is Life? WHat is our Purpose of being here?
Have you ask yourself this question -- what is life? what is our purpose of being here in this world?
Is it because to experience suffering? or because to experience happiness? or is it because of both?
Some of us just want a simple life. That means from study, to working, to marriage, to having kids, to taking care of kids, to enjoying retirement, to death.
Some of us want a fulfilling life with the achievement of all the goals and dreams.
And during this journey of life, we are faced with a lot of events that leads us to different emotions... ... being happy, sad, delighted, frustrated, joy, anger, etc.
Because of these emotions, it can be so impactful that determines whether you enjoy your life or not.
On top of that, because of the society's demand, sometimes we have to continue to work hard even though we may not like it or enjoy it, even we just want a simple life.
Because of all these daily circumstances, we will find that life is not as easy as we may want to be.
We are always working hard for basic survival and needs, to the extent that some of us may lost our purpose in life.
Moreover, life is very fragile. We never know when is our dead line. Maybe tomorrow, maybe next week, next month, next year, next 5 years, next 10 years ... ...
We are always working hard thinking of having better life in our old age, but we never expect we may not have a chance to reach old age too. Or we may be thinking we will never reach old age, thus spend all the money when we are young and yet who knows? We are still around when all our family and friends have already left us and yet we dont have a single penny with us...
So is it better to work hard and died young without enjoying life? or is it better to enjoy life but not working hard and died old and suffer?
Some of us may even come across situations where we actually experienced the death of our friends when we are still in school... ... so why their life is so short that they never really get a chance to experience it?
Life is really very fragile ... so make full use of each day of your life ... be glad that there is another brand new day ... even though life is fragile ... future planning is very important too ... as you may live till very old age without your choice ... savings is important but also learn to rest and relax and enjoy yourself at times ... dont play too hard without work hard and not work too hard without play hard ... we need to have a balance of both.
Also remember health is wealth too ... no point in having wealth without health. Rest and Sleep well too.
