Hello! Here's an interesting read from a Book ( Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth ) :
"Meaningless!Meaningless!" says the Teacher, "Utterly meaningless! Everything is meaningless!"
What does man gain from all his labor at which he toils under the sun?
Generations come generations go, but the Earth remains forever.
The Sun rises and the sun sets, and hurries but to where he rises...
(Skipping a few lines..)
What has been will be again,
what has been done will be done again;
there is nothing new under the sun.
Is there anything of which one can say,"Look! This is something new"?
It was here already, long ago;
it was here before our time.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Does this extraction strike you? Is it speaking to you? Don't you find that life is meaningless and boring just like moving in a never ending circle?
"What has been will be again,
what has been done will be done again;
there is nothing new under the sun."
For those who are working, don't you feel that it is so meaningless, just like a chasing after the wind? People come and people go, isn't it meaningless? Why do people work so hard, just to die and leave their treasures on the face of the earth?
Isn't it so unsatisfying? Isn't life all too boring?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Okay, let's ask ourselves this simple and important question: What is our purpose here on Earth?
Difficult question eh?
Definitely not here to play computer games, study, work or spend money. First, you can see that these stuffs are made by humans. Second, how can our purpose be something that we created, something that was made before humans were formed? In fact, the purpose of, perhaps the computer, was to help and aid us. Take another example - money. Money was formed by humans for trading purposes. Right now, we can see the co-relation between the time it is was formed and its purpose.
So the crux to answering our purpose in life is to know who formed us and live for that person or be useful to him.
Then, Who formed us?
I'll leave it to you to answer this question.
