What is the purpose of life?

I like to ask my mum some weird questions since I was a kid. For example, i remember myself asking why do "we" live in this planet? why there are so many different animals?Where are they come from?

My mum said chicken come from egg lo, then i asked where does egg come from ? she said chicken lo..round and round also no definite answer ,ask till she wanna surrender already.

Recently i start review my life, asking myself what is the purpose of life?

Are human born to be what we see in our society today? Are human destined to go through education system from age 7 to age 18( or higher if you want ); work from 9-5 a day; destined to go through ups and downs of life?

Some people spend their life wisely; some don't appreciate or even take care of themselves, they tend to knowingly do something which is not right, for example, suicide and drug addiction.

Some people are considered as successful in their life, they maybe well known like stars or richer or at least do something benefit their society or the world. Some people just go through easy, normal, peaceful life and they are satisfied with what they have for now. These difference depend on the level of satisfaction and environmental factors.

If people understand that everybody in this world are actually just human, war might not have started ; there will be no difference between human and hence no existence of stronger and weaker nation; the world economy will not get affected easily by so called strong and rich countries.

Till the time i feel like stop writing, i still cannot come to a conclusion of the purpose of life, but seriously I still can't figure out why I am human but animals are animals. Where are we from ?

Probably I should just set a purpose for myself and live with it, that is where the purpose of life comes from, i guess.

Tomorrow will be better, I hope. :) I know it will! I just hope everyone can live happily ! *wink

okay, I was trying to say something funny about it ...
but life isn't always about jokes ,right?and it isn't always about being serious like the sculptures ,too.
we tumble,we rise,we laugh ,we cry,we gather and we part our own ways,we love and we love no more,dreams built and destroyed,hopes faded and new hopes shine...
it's a long long course till our chores are done.we are blessed to live till we grow old.
some people just aren't that lucky.
u know from the place where i work, there are few children born with genetic diseases and heart disease.what did they do to bring these suffers to them?they are just innocent infants...imagine how long they have to carry these burdens with them.
i keep telling myself recently to loosen up, treasure what i have for now. there are still plenty to pursue but i don't want to trade what i have now with those in case i can't have both.
maybe the purpose of life is just to go on with it, keep turning the big wheel of the universe.
oops, i made it too 'lo so', but with no regret ,hehe
u stay positive and cheerful la ,until i polish up my 'shuang jie gun'

shuang jie gun = bruce lee= martial arts = if you come home without seeing us again you will be 'xiu li'
and about my exclusive rights on my name, it's the same reason that the world just couldn't have 2 tom cruise or angelina jolie
i think you should get rights on your name too. because the world just can't afford to have another 'cool jokes queen'. we are too young to face another Ice age...

You are here, because God has created you. :) And the purpose of your living to not just merely existing for the purpose of existence, but because God wanted us to return to Him as our possession, so that we can enjoy real freedom from him. ^^ The Meaning of Human Life

last week there was a confidential letter for me
i was having meeting when it arrived and the postman insisted it to be signed by me only
and my mum couldn't receive it on behalf of me...
then she told me about it later and i started to worry what was that...
because i didn't do anything particular lately.
and i worried for three days through weekends(post office shut down)...anxious,guessing...
after all it was just about credit card and my mum said'i don't even know why you want to worry ,did you commit any crime n scared that was the letter from govenrnment?'
yes,i'm innocent just maybe too talkative
is that a crime? haha

shiang said...

you a! you tell me ma!i go bomb the post office so your letter will be gone lo!haha....what a good idea!

if talkative is a crime, i think i will see you in jail. :P
