Stress Of Living - What Is Your Goal?
Most of us are under stress. It is said that ignorance is bliss and it is very true because the ignorant people are under no stress because they are not sure about their goals. Any thinking person gets stress if they think about why do they live? Do we live because we are born? Take what comes, do you can, suffer miseries, enjoy bounties and die one day? That is the formula of ignorant.
Do we live to get more education? Because that is at least our goal during young age but why do we want to be educated? Because we think that will get us a better career, relationships and success in life. So do we live for career? What is the use of working in a career with daily stresses, tensions, and find out that the company you were working for is closed or has gone bankrupt? Or how about after retirement- what happened to that career? It was always temporary under all circumstances.
How about relationships? Do we live so that we can have better relationships? But most of them end with bitterness. Then why do we work so hard to have better relationships if heartbreak is the final outcome?
How about money? Money can be used to donate, buy new things, and enjoy life and so on. How many new things shall we buy? How many new places shall we travel? How much charity shall we make and will it ever make a difference to the world? No, no amount of charity makes a difference. Nothing that we do makes any difference in the world that is of permanent use - because most of us do not know the purpose of our life. All of us are so tired with our daily routine that we have no time to reflect upon this question - why do you live?
