LIFE - A MYSTERY
Every day is an adventure in the journey of life. We meet people, make friends, fall in love, have heartbreaks, we experience joy, happiness, sadness, pain and so on...But why? Why do we experience all these things?
Everyone of us have a different perspective of what life is. So I did a little digging and asked people what life was to them. I was surprised by the answers I got!!! That is when I realized that everyone one of us face life differently. It's unique and that's what makes it special. After analyzing all the answers I guess I was able to come to the conclusion that in the end it's always about the journey not the destination.
This particular article discusses how unique everyone's opinion on life could be...
One of the very first answers I got is this "The only purpose of life is to keep going". To be honest I myself wouldn't agree with this I believe there is a reason we were put on this Earth and it is up to us to find it and make it worth while. Life is to be cherished just to keep moving on is good but the important thing is that we make it worth while. "If the Universe didn't need you, You wouldn't be here."
Some of the other answers I got were quite similar "Chasing Happiness", "One time enjoyment", "Live it for your happiness", "Be the best version of yourself" ,etc... Each of these answers shows us that in the end despite who we are all we ever need in life is happiness. Every other quality a person can portray is based on it. That is life. It is not the destination that matters, it's the journey that matters...
The most interesting answer I got is this " Life is a job". In the sense that we hold a responsibility to our parents, friends, society, etc... It is true it is our job to protect and care for our loved ones as much as we could but that doesn't make life a job because that's not all life is about. The responsibility we owe to the ones we love is a just a part of life, it isn't life itself. Life is so much more...
All these answers I got did not exactly define life but were just everyone's opinion on what life is. So, I came to the conclusion that life is defined differently by different people. Life itself cannot be defined. People define in it in their own perspective and it changes for everyone but ultimately what everyone wants in life is the same. Everyone one of us chase something. We all have goals and ambitions.
What happens when we achieve those goals, what happens once we reach our destination. Do we just stay there till the end of time or do we not move on from their? "What do we do when a chapter ends, do we close the book and never read it again?"
We turn the page to next chapter. It goes the same way for both the good times and the bad times. That is Life. We keep moving on, we keep evolving. At the end of the day we chase happiness. No matter what our goal is. No matter who we are or where we are. Everything we do we do it for happiness.
But despite everything that we have been through, every minute of happiness, every heartbreak, every spark of joy and the pain of loss, it is what makes us who we are, it's what makes this life worth living. "Look at where you are, Look at where you started." Someday we'll look back on all those days and we will smile cause it was life and we decided to live it. After all that's what life's for isn't it?
Not to just exist but TO LIVE!!!
