#Purpose of #Life

Purpose of life



We all live on this earth and go one fine day. Days are gone by where people will be sad for you or remember you after your death unless and until you were really close to someone and made a difference in their life….. Life is all here on this earth. We should do everything whatever we have dreamed of in this short span of time. It’s important to spend your life doing things that mean something to you. Something that gives you satisfaction and fulfillment.  

Death can happen any time!!!! People may find it crazy to discuss about death but the fact is who knows when and how things come to an end. A question passed by my thoughts; what is the purpose of my life???    Why God created me??? Why has God put in effort to create me and has sent me to this planet?  

Let us add an extra element of noble quotient to our lives. Apart from living to complete our education, acquire a high salary job, getting married, having kids and raising them up. Though  all these  is an important element of our lives and this to an extent forms our individuality and sanity.

A noble deed doesn’t necessarily be in monetary terms like in the form of charity, sponsoring a child’ s education, donating for an old age home etc…There is no ranking in doing a noble deed ; as the opportunity and ability to help may be different to each person. The least we can do is to live as a good human being courageously, consciously, with a heart that will move for people in need or just be a person who LIVES and LET LIVE.

This reminds me of the parable of the Good Samaritan…A man while travelling was attacked by robbers. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him and went away, leaving him half dead. A priest happened to be going down the same road, and when he saw the man, he passed by on to the other side. Then came a Levite, (Levites are the ones who served particular religious duties and had exclusive rights to learn and teach) when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side.  But then a Samaritan, as he traveled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him.  Samaritans and Jews generally despise each other but he just looked at him as a man in trouble.  He went to him and bandaged his wounds. Then he put the man on his own donkey, brought him to an inn and took care of him. The next day he took out some money and gave them to the innkeeper. ‘Look after him,’ he said, ‘and when I return, I will reimburse you for any extra expense you may have.’

We as social being are introduced to some form of religion. Each religion teaches us to be a good human being. We are the temple of God. In order to be a good human being we just need to keep God alive in us, in our soul, in our actions. This will keep us away from being part of any evil.  Subsequently the world will become a better place with love and compassion.
