The Purpose Of Life

For every man there comes a time in life when,

the sun sets, thoughts linger and memories flood reflecting on life’s journey…
Probably out of a sense of misplaced ideals or a cluttered conscience we tend to search for the inner meaning of our being and introspect if we actually have made a difference in this world of unknowns. How will the world remember us?... Or will they actually remember us? We dwell closer on the much clichéd “purpose of life”.

What is man’s real purpose in this world?

Is he to simply conform to the established order and carry on life’s chores being just a nobody?
Or is he to spread sails, catch the winds and strive to become someone special?


As mundane as the former sounds or as exciting as the latter sounds, the reality is that a large majority of us are pulled to the fore of anything that is already tried and perfected a million times over. ‘Spread sails, catch the winds…’ is an awesome catchphrase, but that is what it will always be… It is inspiring, motivating and refreshing but is it practical? Do we relent to the pressures of the external or do we act solely and wholly based on only OUR conscience? Wouldn’t that be selfish, denying the world of your wit and wisdom and using it purely for your betterment? Wouldn’t your conscience prickle you? Ah that is the beauty of conscience. It can be fooled.period.
