the question about life’s purpose has always been on my mind. it is a complex one. more complex than chicken-egg analogy. so what is our purpose in life. you cant just grow up, study, get a job, get married, have a family, and die. i dont think life is as simple as that.
because in order to have something good you must have something bad to compare with at the first place. so is a person who is being bad is considered a service to human evolution because without them there will be no good samatarian. is being bad can be considered as ‘the calling’ in life?
i was just watching ‘the world according to Bush’ part one in SBS today. after which, me and Sharon was engaged in sms ‘adult’ conversation about the war, the americans and the french… its really interesting to know how many good people out there thinking about the world problem. but really, are we too powerless to do something? is the american president the most powerful person in the world? how could he or she be? because in the final analysis, we all were born bare naked, breathe the same air, die the same way (ed: Kennedy’s is paraphrased).
maybe some of us are just too ignorant… but can they be blamed for being just them? the amount of trust that we put to people are just amazingly unique. the trust we put in church leaders, in our teachers, in our world leaders…. beyond belief and recognition… perhaps being democratic has many flaws… because the very leaders who sneak through the system speaks the same language as us when they are being criticised: ‘im democratically elected’, ‘the people have decided’…. sicken me…. when it gets to ugly (and normally this is after huge disgusting greed and bad deeds), people’s power as they like to term it as, starts to work…. more as a damage control mechanism rather than a redress to what has happened….
enough of my rants… this world is too unjust to hear them anyway!
we must have been born for a purpose
