RE: The daily Master's quote - The purpose of life
NIce quote:
Never ask your mind what's the purpose of life because it will always give you a good answer
For the longest time, I believed that there’s only purpose of life: And that is to be happy. Right? Why else go through all the pain and hardship? It’s to achieve happiness in some way. And I’m not the only person who believed that. In fact, if you look around you, most people are pursuing happiness in their lives. That’s why we collectively buy shit we don’t need, some even go to bed with people they don’t love, and try to work hard to get approval of people we don’t like. Looking forward to your next post!
Indeed. But happiness is over rated. I will explain in future posts. Thanks for warming up. 😊👍
Reading this reminded me of Viktor Frankl’s writing:
“Ultimately, man should not ask what the meaning of his life is, but rather he must recognize that is is he who is asked.”
I am truly sick of hearing that the purpose of life is happiness. That’s BS. Happiness is a fleeting emotion that comes and goes. You can’t keep it in your life constantly. Plus if happiness is the only emotion to seek, what about the rest of the emotions we experience. Are we saying we are less human because we get angry or sad from time to time? They are a part of being human too — important parts that we should experience during life. We grow from these experiences. I just want to make the best out of this life and experience things the way they are.
I would be waiting for your next post @nomad-magus.
"That's BS"
Indeed.
