Your existence

"What is the meaning of Life?"

People question themselves out of the blue now and then and ask whether life is worth living for and whether they have live life to the fullest?

What really justifies your life then? Is it about making full use of your lifetime to fulfil some goals of yours or is it just to take a step at a time, making sure you don't trip on that pebble.

Life is fragile. That is because our soul can just leave us anytime when we immerse ourselves into Dreamland and never return to our mortal soul.

Easy come and easy go. they say, life flutters around the birth and death of a human being.

There are so many views to life that I don't even know where to begin. Some people might feel that why even bother thinking of what's left and enjoy what you have and some people search fruitlessly to the ends of the mountains of Himalayas to only find end up at some monastery to be a monk to seek solace in ultimate nirvana.

In all seriousness, the majority of us have so much stuff on our mind that we don't even have time to really reflect, much less care why we are on this planet.

I think that we all justify our existence through our career, family and the status that we are in. Success on the corporate ladder will feed your ego while a happy family will fulfil your emotional needs.

Whatever it is, life is all about justification.

We rationalize and validate ourselves by comparing ourselves with the rest of the world. We try to reach the benchmark of supporting a family, having babies and doing whatever that pleases us. We defined ourselves through others and it builds up what you call today, social norms.

Whatever the motivation your life is all about, our human instincts wants us to succeed or just sit back, slack and enjoy what the world has to offer for us.

But one thing is for sure, and to quote Andi (a supporter of mine who has a blog too!).

"we are reliant on each other to find meanings in our existence"

I totally agree.
