The purpose of life...

It was while i was writing the previous post that i was reminded of a conversation i had with my brother a few months ago. The question was simple, whats the purpose of life. At the moment i the first thing that i said was- "To be happy". And to find out what brings us happiness. I still stand by that statement. Though reflecting back at the it i think its not very easy to determine what is it that makes us happy. I have seen people getting confused between what they want to do and what they should do. Almost all the people i have seen, with tension, confusion, unhappiness, sorrow, loneliness, or simply just unhappy with lives. In all the cases the solution boils down to just one simple thing(All right i agree its not that simple...); to get our priorities right. To set for ourselves and everyone involved in our life an order of importance. And to let everyone be aware of it. An arrangement of the sort ensures a lot of confusion is removed from relationships. And though it may be painful for a few in the short term. Eventually its going to simplify your life to a great extent. What's important is not the order but the fact that everyone can know and comprehend your actions and not be confused or frustrated by it.

I think i deviated a great deal from what i started with. Anyways to get back to the point, i believe that everyone must have a lil word or sentence that should lead him through his life. It may not be constant, nor does it need to be elaborate. But it should be very clear for the person himself. He must be able to clearly see its meaning though its not at all necessary that he must be able to explain it to another soul. So go ahead and find out what is it u live for, when was the last time u truly smiled, were without a fear or worry in the world. And in those rare moments u will find what is it that u truly need in your life. And thus make those moments come more often until u start looking forward to every moment in your life.
