The Purpose
we all like to do nothing at work...but once you really have NOTHING to do...you get antsy. Thus..updating my blog I shall. Must restrain myself from productivity...."procrastination is an active process " ( page 3.14159 or aka pi, Chahm [yea..i dont expect u to get this joke...so dont even try]).
You ever notice...everything we do...we require a "purpose". We eat because we are hungry, we go to work because we need money, we sleep because we need rest...and essentially there's a "why" to every statement we make. We need to feel the sense of "being" and we need to feel that we're performing a particular task for a reason. There really is no such thing as "walking aimlessly". No matter now "aimless" it may be, you are still heading towards somewhere and searching for some type of objective. Even when you TRY to walk around "aimlessly"...this "aimless" became your purpose and your objective.
Similar to the requirement of "reason" for the tasks we perform...life can be the same way. We all want to know we are living for a purpose...we are born for a reason. Some people like to use God as a form of justification. I'm certain we've all heard speeches such as "God created my life for a purpose...for reasons I do not know why...but there's gotta be some logic behind it". We all want to feel we are needed by someone, serving a greater purpose than just "living", and we also require that sense of "being". None of us like to feel we are just insignificant creatures born to just breed, eat, drink, and die. We often search for the purpose in life and the meaning in our lives that some of us even forget how to "live".
What if there is no purpose? there's no "grand scheme" of plan behind each of our lives? Maybe we ARE here to just breed, eat, drink, and die like all the rest of the lively beings on this planet....afterall...every one of us are simply composition of cells with the task of sustaining survival. What if there IS no concrete meaning to life? All the things we ever set out to do, the questions we ponder , or the life we think we lead might possibly be all deceptions we created for ourselves so we can have a sense of "significance" for our petty little lives.
I am sure you all presume that I have a conclusion to this entry...afterall...based on your understanding of "Aileen"...why would I write an entry without a type revelation or a conclusion? The purpose of this entry is so I can derive my own conclusion right? and the purpose of you reading this entry is to witness my derivation of a conclusion...am I correct?
Fact of the matter is...I really have no conclusion...no answer...and there perhaps is no point or purpose to this entry except my incessant talk.
I am living to live...living to what I think is the fullest. Let it be superficial, impactful, deep, serious, dramatic, silly, or else....I only have one chance to live. It might be created without a purpose or maybe there really is no point to my life....or perhaps I AM insignificant. but the purpose of my life is up for me to define and the quality/significance of my life will depend on how i chose to live
As my good friend Mike would say...Cheers, to life's next moment.
