Life's Purpose

Past week or two has been such a "blah" week... Nothing much to it... same old same old until today... Because I have social exam tomorrow... and I dont think I'll be doing too good... Although i have studied... but somehow, the material I do study doesnt seem to appear on the exam paper... which is quite dissapointing actually... well anyways... hope it all goes fine... As to my current post, I have been reading this book "How to live life on purpose"... and this author, this book actually is quite straight forward and true as a matter of fact...

Life is defined as a matter of the existence of an organism... wether human, animal, or plant... we all exist in this world... Purpose is defined as the object toward which one strives or for which something exists... These two words, these two terms... are differential... However, they are linked together as a parent is linked to their infant... Without the parent, there can be no infant... Without the parent, the infant is non-existent... Just as life and purpose... Life is absurd, blank, just another empty bottle if not for purpose... my point is... to live without a purpose is not to live at all... it is just like living in idleness... Without a purpose, the mere existence of an organism is useless, vain, nonsensical... If a man lives through his whole life without realizing this, this man is obselete... this man is not in service in other words...

To have a purpose is to have a vision... A vision is the source of all purpose... a vision of the honorable gives birth to a purpose worth living for... The very same vision which keeps a person away from the grasp of resignition... the very same vision which motivates a man's spirit... The one thing which can only be given up without being taken... The very same vision which keeps a man clinging on to the things he truly cares for... The things which a man could live and die for... The very same vision which could drive a whole society, community or even a whole world of fellow humans...
