today a friend told me..hmm.. life is short and the best is just to do sth that she enjoys and be happy loh.. doesnt have to be earning millions or billions.. just do sth that's satisfying.
I went home and thought about it.. yes life if short and we live only once. who can promise a reincarnation and live another life? we do things for purposes and many people today are seeking meaning in life. So if life is about doing all that we enjoy and be happy does it mean we dun do things that we dun enjoy? the things that everyone enjoys is different.. so if one were to say he doesnt like to do CIP or even if he hates school does it mean he dun do or go sch? if a top scholar hates to help his classmates with their work cos it doesnt benefit him, does it mean he dun do it? den again.. does the selfish student deserve to be called the top scholar?
Satisfaction does come when you do sth we like, and of cos when we overcome obstacles when we never think we will be able to do.So what is next after being satisfied completing this particular task? it would be like chasing after the wind.. i guess if life were to be like that.. its just endless pursue of things.. and busy finding activities to fill up our time on earth. What's the point.
If life were to be just happy and for just to enjoy the things that we WANT to do, cos all man wants to live their lives according to their way, perhaps we would prefer not to be borned. Cos we have to face so much stress and unhappiness in life, but the fact is, we do not have a choice. So what exactly is the purpose of life when we are brought into this world without our acknowlegdement?
Who or what would one turn to to ask what is the purpose of a computer or even a mobile phone? The manual or someone who is using the phone? I suppose not..cos even the manual n the someone using the phone would be able to give sufficient basic infor on how to use it. Well, i suppose the person who FIRST created the computer or mobile would know best the structure and function(haha study too much bio) of the device... so if we were to ask the purpose of man on earth to live a meaningful life.. we have to ask the one who created us at the begining of all things. :)

"Even youths grow tired and weary,
and young men stumble and fall;
but those who hope in the LORD
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint." Isa 40:30-31
