"Life is not about good answers, it's about interesting questions." ... Paulo Coelho
What is the purpose of my life? I can keep on asking this question a million times and i will get no definite answer. My subconscious weaves in answers which i want to hear. Probably my purpose of life might get answered by this counter question - What is the purpose anyway?

We all want to know about our existence, our purpose and often go on the spiritual journey to find this. We find ourselves a self proclaimed guru, as we don't believe in ourselves and words of a spiritual person makes more sense to us than our own soul talking to us. We often go down the path shown to us by someone and start our journey. Is it the lack of knowledge or lack of self confidence, i don't know which but surely, can someone take us down the path to find ourselves?
Are we engineered for a purpose? I am not sure, but surely looking at the population explosion across the globe, i am forced to believe our one sole purpose is to keep on populating the world. Even though there is not enough resources which will be left for future generations but then hey who am i to question any one's purpose.
We feel the need to leave behind our essence, is this our purpose to leave behind our essence / legacy? When i am gone, seriously why should i bother who will or who won't remember me. But then as i said i am not here to question any one's purpose or beliefs.
I see a lot of unrest which is happening all around the globe and this makes me wonder, is the slave finally waking up? We are all slaves of our existence, we live by set standards and often are frustrated by things not going our way. Some are lucky who we call haves while many are unlucky who we call have nots. The population ratio of have nots is definitely more than haves. So my question is what will happen when the have nots want everything of haves?
The war is happening among religious outfits, among races, the power brokers want more power and truth is a fairytale which we all live by.
Recently to eradicate black money Indian Prime minister, overnite removed INR 500/1000. Who was impacted most? The industrialists or the poor public? The economy came to a standstill overnight, who is to be blamed? PM , Big industrialists, public who? 1.3 billion people voted for this change and now they are impacted by the change negatively. Funny isn't it.
When USA voted Trump as their President, why is the world going crazy with negative comments? A nation voted their president, the impact is felt worldwide WHY?
Questions, questions and more questions. There are no answers, but speculations and we feel great being argumentative and speculative about all these questions and their answers.
Seriously , what really impacts us? The situations are created by us, is there a way out for any of us? I doubt it as we go deeper into the circle, we get ourselves more locked into our own creations and way of life which we are all responsible for. Yet we choose to show ignorance and ask the question, What is the purpose of my life?
We believe in successful people, by definition people who have made a lot of money, or people who are fighting for a cause. Hey we are 7 billion plus people on this planet and i believe each one of us has something to give back to this world. Fighting terrorism , fighting for poverty, fighting for power , fighting for religion, fighting global warming, fighting for animal protection etc etc .....all man made. How much is enough? How come we seem to be constantly fighting things and not building together? I would really like to know , when does one stop being an ignorant and really start being a human.
Maybe if i did something for people in general, no bias opinions but really unconditionally help people without thinking about anyone remembering me after my death. Without thinking of myself going down in history books, without thinking about the money i have made, as i cannot take any with me in my afterlife and what good it is to give to my kins if they don't have the aptitude to make it on their own, but just being who i am - a human helping another human. Will i solve this mysterious question?
I am inquisitive about everything around me and i feel that this is the tip of the iceberg i have touched. There are more questions which need to be asked. I am not looking for answers, i am just looking for people who believe in themselves and who believe like me that this world is our only home and people can live together in harmony.
We are not the landlords of this planet, we are tenants with an expiry date.
