Life must have a purpose. Unfortunately, not everyone will make sense of the notes I want to send in this passage, but I hope it does not leave you unconcerned.
A question that I am usually asked is “what’s my purpose in life?” This is a question that often makes me think a lot about the entire universe before coming out with an answer. Before spitting out any words, my brain would travel all around the world, through the past, present, and the future. Saying that “I must live with a purpose” sounds like everyone needs to have a plan for one’s life, a drawn path to one’s future, and a dream to realize. Well, while I hold in mind that life must be living with a purpose for it to be enjoyed to its fullest, I also believe that there are a handful of peers, other human beings, whose lives have no focuses, no ends, and no dreams to be realized at all.
Not everyone is capable of finding, shaping, or inventing a purpose for their lives due to the notion of class, wealth, and freedom. Those who are granted wealth by birth, or in early life are more likely the ones whose lives have no purpose. On the other side, folks who grow up in marginalized areas, or face challenges in their early ages, often grow beyond the normal to engine the upper world with their initiatives, dreams, wishes, and truths about life. It seems like most goal oriented people often come from lower or middle class backgrounds are often the ones who lack the energy and means to make changes happen their abilities to convince the world that the brain is a weapon, and tool of change, and a way to bettering one’s lives.
I have had the very great chance to meet in my path people from different backgrounds, ethnicities, nationalities, and life philosophies than mine. The most pertinent remarks I have held from these encounters often crack me up: the most inspiring folks that keep me aware all day and half nights are always the ones from the poorest areas of the world. They have been the focuses of my life path for a while. Learning from their experiences, I have learned positive things, and also I have learned frustrating facts about the state of things or life in general. Those who live are those who have experienced tough times in their lives and have taken them as motivation to move further. Those who live are those who always wake up in the morning with a menu for their days, and are able of holding on to it to have it done from their own sweat, leaps, and efforts. Those who live are those who often compare their lives with the ones at the bottom lines and realize that something must be done to have every living body find a way to life. Those who don’t live are either the top richest of the world or the disabled, deprived, and marginalized folks who exist in the globe. These folks don’t live because life comes to them either too enjoyable or too difficult to embrace. Can you tell me you have lived when your life has no purpose, or you are unable of thinking about one? (To Be Continued –part 2)
