I don't feel I am a kid anymore, neither do I feel like an adult, but a question has been continuously striking in my neurons for a while now!
What is the purpose of life?
I have heard quite a lot of answers to this one question. I finally understood that everyone has their own definition of the purpose of life.
Some of them feel, their purpose in life is to reach God by 'Sadhana"(the practice of praying the god).
Some of them told that their purpose is to make sure, their future generations had a better life.
And the remaining don't know their purpose of life & were just going with the flow.
I tried to answer the question for myself and came out with an answer.
I feel that the following should be the practices of everyone so that they accomplish the purpose of their life consciously or unconsciously (including me) :
1.Being thankful to the creator:
If you are a theist, be thankful to the creator, for all the creations.
If you are an atheist, then wonder and appreciate the evolution of nature to the present day.
2.Have empathy:
Have some empathy. It helps an individual to grow up wisely. It builds better relations between different life forms and within them. It brings you respect from elders as well as underlings.
By this, your presence might not be cherished but absence is definitely felt.
3.Helping others:
It is the most important than any other practice of one's life. If we were to come up with solutions to all the difficulties that we face by ourselves, then we would have been placed in individual mazes rather than in one world collectively.
So, help others.
4.Have a purpose for your profession:
If you don't have a purpose for your profession and are not admiring it, then you are life but not living. So, have a purpose for your profession, if not please quit & do something you reverve. The greater the purpose of your profession, the greater is your career. The greater your career, the more people you are inspiring.
Inspiring others is what I feel like the greatest purpose of one's life.
These are what I feel the practices in one's life should be. I am just 22 years old and some of you who are reading this might have a professional life greater than or equal to my age, but, yeah, this is what I have understood about life & it's purpose till now.
If you feel that some more points can be added, please feel free to comment below.
