Our Purpose in life?

Religion  – a subject that is well swept under the carpet and that can a conversation awkward. It’s part of the designated ‘no-no’ talk topics. the others being sexual views (unless it’s between close people), politics, death, racism just off the top of my head.

My religion is Christianity (Protestant) – although many of us find atheism a comfort and to a certain extent find it comforting that all that we do in our lives whether it be good or bad, is all that happens and its over.

It is perhaps the ideal of being by judged by One that is higher that is most hard to accept to some.

We all love the idea that we can do all guilt-free and not feel the pangs of a conscience that’s instilled in us by a power apart from the state.

Care-free. We all hate having limits or parameters, whether it’s not being able to break the 10 commandments or just do things immoral set by society if it makes us feel good.

In the absolute sense: ‘we’re all human.’

While all these reasons to disbelieve a higher influence exist, I believe that the world nowadays is just lacking a lot of faith. From the small things to the large. Faith that one person in this world genuinely cares for them, faith to trust others, faith in what we used to believe was our calling, our vision.

Perhaps that’s why consumerism is so wonderfully rampant these days…we’re all so barren and dry inside that it’s the small and temporary pleasures we chase for week in week out, then becoming depressed if it goes in whack.

Today’s society needs a larger part of life to be satisfied, the feeling that we are following, being led and cared for by someone on whom we can depend on always and everywhere without fail. Our parents, friends and partners can lead us only to a certain way of the path, there are times when ’self’ reaches a moment of truth… most of the time we ignore it and continue with the small pleasures.

Now I am not implying we all MUST take on Christ or a religion to fulfill ourselves, but at least re-think (re-consider) our life structure.

What is our big picture?

Have we changed a life?

Our purpose?  Work, play…is that it?

We all have the strength and power to leave a mark on this earth, if you can affect one life, that is more than enough.

I think that’s all for now, if you’ve read this far THANK YOU!

Currently, I’m still struggling with where I want to go, where my road leads, what my purpose is…but I can trust that I am in good hands till I get there.

Is there any greater happiness? (maybe) for me right now…I think that’s more than enough to make my stay here with you all a wonderful experience.

Once again, thanks for letting me share what’s on my mind. I would love to hear what you all think.

Peace and God bless,

Dan
