Purpose of Life

peace to fellow readers who have been patiently keeping up with my blog. I have been busy with school work recently and I did not have time to work on new entries. I still have about one week of school left before the year end holidays kick in. This coming Christmas and new year must be the awaited celebration for many people around the world. Surprisingly not exactly for me, I dont regard Christmas as Jesus's(peace be upon him) birthday neither do I practice birthday celebration of anyone at all. I would love to give my viewpoint on christmas and birthday celebration according to my understanding. However it will not be in this entry, probably the next one if time permits.

Borned into this world every individual have their own choices on how to live their lifes. People can choose to be good or bad, defiant or obedient, rude or polite and many more. There are group of people who would be cautious when handling with life matters, they become sensitive to such matters beacuse they have developed something I would call "the purpose of life". Once someone begins to think of the purpose of his/her life, he/she would start considering every single action that is being carried out. However due to human imperfections and weaknesses many would abandon this critical question and they would continue to live a life without purpose. The logical reason for human to abandon this critical question is because we are very sensitive to changes around us, and when we start asking ourselves the purpose of life we are on the risk of losing our old way of life into a new life which is alien to us and we dont want to lose our old bad habbits because we are addicted and blinded by the bad habbits. Lets take smoking as an example, for those who are health conscious, they would take into consideration the harmful effects of smoking and for those who are unaware of the harmful effects of smoking, they would not have the sense of urgency to quit as there are no threats to stop them.

As we all should know the first key of success in life is to search for the true purpose in life, if not there is no meaning to what we are working for. Besides potentially changing peoples life, such critical questions also corrects a person life where they begin to avoid bad habbits and adopt the new good habbits. Once we see the weakness in us only then can we make the changes to our lives and abolish the mistakes that we have done knowing or unknowingly.

In our life journey the test of life would begin to become more challenging after we get to know the purpose of living a life. At that point of time one will be questioning what are the requirements needed to achieve one's desired purpose of life. When one start experiencing those(critical questions) thoughts, one would find out that life is not just for merely playing or entertainment, rather one start seeing the importance of striving and struggling to attain certain values or principles to move towards a new direction where even the smallest intentions plays a part in directing them towards the straight path in life. Looking at life in a holistic approach, one would consider in detail what categories do certain actions, thoughts, intentions belong too. These categories can be from a simple accepted and unappected into a more sophisticated categories such as obligated, highly recommended, not recommended, forbidden and the list goes on and on. Once someone is able to do this, one would understand that as human it is important for us to organise our way of thinking to understand the environment surrounding us and most importantly what is good and what is bad for us.

This simple entry could be seen as a form of preaching. I have no doubt that religious leader would use topic such as the one that I am using during sermons. Religion do guide and teach how to live a proper life, all religion teaches its followers to be a good and responsible inhabitants of earth. Most of the religion in the world teaches its followers to live peacefully with one another, in contrast no religion promotes terrorism, however the mistakes lies on the hands of the followers, where they make use of certain verses found on the religious scripture to convince others that the one and only way for resolution is by the means of terror which could be used to achieve what they themselves desire, what have done here is contradicting to the original teachings of many religion across the world. Therefore it is important for us to hold on tightly on the true teaching of a religion and we have to constantly study these remaining scriptures that is with us today. If we dont study and practice it from now, this surviving scripture might dissapear from the face of earth one day or others such as terrorist would misuse and mislead others

In my version of "Purpose of Live", there is a main different of that to the versions that are coming from religious prespective. If you noticed, I do not include the attributes of any particular God, in which might have been very different to a religious version. In the religious version what-ever that is going to be conveyed would always have its relation to God, example "God would love a particular group of His followers who are constantly remembering his/her purpose of life as His creation." we have to understand that in a religious context, topics regarding life must be bundled together with other sub-topics to become the blessings from God, so that followers could glorify and acknowledge that God is almighty. Dont get me wrong, Im not denying that the law of life has got nothing to do with God, Im a monotheist believer(believe in one almighty God), but my version happen to be very different from any religious version where there is an absence in God's attibutes. The reason for doing so is because, I think it is important for others who do not believe in any religion to know that the purpose of life is the key to straighten and shape the life of people, to do so the version that I am working on would base mainly on phychology and nature. In a nutshell you can say that this entry goes out to the non-believers(those who do not believe in God) as a form of preaching so that they do not abandon this code of life.
