Purpose of Life? Is MORE the Answer?


At some point of our life we start thinking about some weird questions like, why this life? why are we born? what next? blah blah! Great! At least you started thinking. So what next?

Why all this life complications? After being born, go to school, read some books, get good scores, write exams, etc. etc. Again go to high school, then college. Ok! Next a job or more studies. Then same go to job, do some courses, earn more, eat, sleep and so on. So, yeah here is the main twist. Earning MORE. Ok, sit in office earn more, and more and more. Then buy this, that. Then again buy this that. Earn more. Live rich and die. In middle of all this we forget the main point of earning, i.e. we are earning to survive. Just plain simple point. To survive we just need food for everyday, some fresh air and clean water.
So why not just live near a beach, eat fish or plan some tress or vegetables and do a simple job, eat, earn and pay just simple bills and live happy! Why do we complicate life? Earn MORE, buying this that and then forget to live happily? I'm so happy that I realized this solution so early. With all the money I have saved I can just do all these things right. Or keep blogging earn money, plant some vegs near my house and live with my newly wedded wife. Even she felt its a peaceful and good idea.

All that sounded perfect to me, until I started thinking more about why people around us invented so many things that we use daily and expect more out of life. Then, instead of choosing the simple solution that I have just sorted out, I've realized there's more to life than just living. There should be a purpose of being born. Instead of just living simply and setting up a comfort zone for myself and my family, I should live for others. Contribute something because we have the ability to think.
