Purpose of Life- Just to be Happy

Purpose of life is not to earn money- definitely not- it is very clear that everyone has to die one day- on that day your body will lie like a bag of potatoes- people will move you here and there without you even noticing it, you will not feel anything for sure- because you are already dead by then- I am not sure if soul exists but mostly it does not- you are born out of biology- you live- you keep living and on some day some of your vital organs stop functioning and you die- you just die as you are too old to survive anymore- what do we take with us- actually nothing- for sure its not money- i have to talk to some rich person if they really felt happy about having a lot of money while dying- i guess will be that the person will be rather sad that he earned all this money for nothing- you could possibly leave a good name behind- your good deeds- your loved ones but frankly after you are dead even that wont matter to you anymore- so its only this life which you should be actually worried about- you are living because you are born and its our instinct that we want to live and hence we are living- and now ideally the purpose of life should actually be living- greater goal and purpose is good- but will it really matter to you once you are done- guess not- same goes with career and job etc so purpose of life is actually living- like really going through each day hoping there is another day to live because that's the whole idea- now how do we make most out of this living- i think its very important to stay happy and content- to be able to make yourself happy- happiness is true living- its when you are happy you feel this joy- that's life- that joy which helps you to keep going- search for that joy- actually whole of our lives we are just chasing happiness- and that according to me is the purpose of life- to live chasing happiness- and by chasing i don't mean keep running behind it without achieving it but to do those things which makes you really happy- not because you think it makes you happy but because you know it makes you happy.

If it makes you happy to climb that god damn mountain- that mountain calls you for months and then you go and climb it and when you are done with that- you feel happy- if it does- go get that happiness. Slog your ass off to get fit and stay fit and then just go and climb that mountain and if you cant go climb a smaller mountain and i you cant just go for a walk- but remember you are doing it for your happiness and not because everyone else is doing it and you should also do it- if playing playstation give you that happiness- i doubt though! But then go get that playstation.

If being with someone makes you happy- it can be your father or mother, your sibling, your friend, your colleague, your child or your partner- go and be with that person- but make sure that this person makes you happy- and it could mostly happen when the other person also feels happy with you- usually its a two way lane- so yes its good to find these people- also good to hold on to it but its also important not to chase it- it only works when two people are moving in the same direction- so its important to be clear in your mind- does that person feel happy with me- now do i feel happy with that person- if yes then go have a coffee with that person and you will be happy- some of the happiest moments could be time spent with a stranger or a friend because both liked each other and both felt happy with each other- so stop chasing people- go to the people who are coming to you but do go to those people- however far they are, actually world is not that big after all, whatever it costs- it actually doesn’t cost much- collect that happiness for yourselves when you still can- when you still know that you have someone who is waiting for you- go to them. But the only pre-requisite should be that makes you happy- you spent nights planning and thinking about those two days you will meet your friend- just do it- but meet in a place you get some good wine- or atleast a coffee.

Work- the most overrated way to spend time and life- i think it was invented because people did not have much to do after eating and sleeping so they got together and started working and making money. You can spend your whole life in a company but it will still be a myth like God. You keep running around it without even realizing that in reality it is nothing- its just a name or a common purpose for people to get together and make money for each other- money is important but in itself its not happiness- it can help you to buy some happiness and that's all it is worth for and you should not loose sight of that- so work for money- only for that money which can buy you your objects of happiness but after that stop- Working hard can give you happiness and its totally justified as you maybe finding happiness in solving problems or to use your brains or to see the results of your efforts or to get some tasks done- try to make a living by doing something what makes you happy if you can and if you cant make some money so that you can make your yourself happy outside work and when at work- sometimes try to do things which make you happy- you can keep running behind that promotion or a new job or something else but in the end its all the same- do it if you have to and if you can but stay happy even if doesn't work out because in the end you will still end up like a bag of potatoes- doesn’t matter if you have a tie on or not then.

So yes we all should find our source of happiness and keep pursuing them day in day out- yes pursue them but don’t chase them- work for it- try your best- try even different things and people and work and countries and circumstances- you did not know that coffee at 0 degrees will give you that happiness till you went to face that cold. So yes keep looking for source of your happiness, work on it and  hold on to it when you find it and keep repeating that and in the way find more source of happiness- no one else can do it for you- its not dependent on anyone or anything- it depends on your hard work and your dedication to make yourself happy-day in- day out to feel that joy- feel that child within you- obviously you will lot of times make mistakes and you will fall and you will be disappointed and maybe some sources of unhappiness you may even have to keep it with yourselves but even that at some level gives you satisfaction- which is also kind of happiness- so keep that but also collect your share of happiness in everything small- and everything big- that sunshine peeping out of the clouds or that rosgolla you like- its all around you- just keep collecting it- for yourself- for life- for living- for that joy and for that smile- to keep going- and to keep going happily.
