Today after a long time thought to write something. I started this blog in between the covid pandemic when it was lock down and everyone was confined in their homes.
So I wrote for a few days than things and businesses got unlocked and it again became a busy life like earlier.
So today I got a congratulatory message from word press that I got 1000 views on my few blog posts I wrote in lock down so thought to start writing again. This covid pandemic is still going on in 2022 also but now the situation is far better. We have vaccines, most of the people including me have got 2 doses of vaccine. So we have learnt to live with the pandemic now.
But this pandemic taught me a lot of things. I lost a lot of known people to this virus, so it brought lot of sadness in life like it would have brought in so many other people,s life.
But hearing news of sometimes some uncle passing away, some times a distant relative, sometimes friend,s father and sometimes some elderly people who were very affectionate. So seen a lot of deaths in these two years. But with each known person,s death same question kept coming everytime that if death is the ultimate reality and no one knows when would that time be so what are we running after in life for?
For more fame, more money, higher position . What are we so proud of ? What is our,s here. ? Everything that belongs to us our land, gold , property or anything else that we are proud of that piece of land is their on the earth from the time the earth was created.
So once that piece of land which we claim as ours belonged to ancient animals like dinosaurs which are now extinct. Than from millions of years various people came , they became happy that they owned that piece of earth which is giving us happiness now .But that land is their only from the start and it will stay their only . Only the people who claim to be the owner of that land will keep changing . Even our human body is ours only for a small period we are alive and our soul resides in it. So their is nothing actually that will remain with us always.
So for most of us who are engaged In businesses or jobs or any sort of work and we are working day and night to get higher salary, promotions, or to make our business bigger and bigger ? So is this the only purpose of our lives to amass wealth? Keep working for money till the time we are very old because we want more and more money . Because we are never satisfied with it, how will we buy most expensive houses, travel to exotic location, have the best car, stay in the most luxurious hotels without money. So all our time and life goes after it. After all money gets you respect , standing in society , you need money for fulfilling materialistic goals.
With hospital treatments, tuition fees, house hold things everything so expensive we definitely need to have sufficient funds , and proper financial planning , retirement planning etc that is a topic I like writing.
But than today I thought is that the only purpose of our lives. Doing work , job , business sincerely to our best ability is very important so we have a financial security and we are comfortable but that can’t be the sole purpose of our lives.
If we have got a human life than their is a lot of other things that we can do , we have a obligation to the earth that we are born on, trees that are getting cut each day, animals that are getting killed and so many species getting extinct because of our greed.
We have a obligation to a lot of people who are not as fortunate as we are , can we do something for the upliftment of a few people in our life. A lot of people deserve better education, better medical facilities, better living conditions so if we are well to do will our life be not more fruitful if we do something for someone, other than for ourselves.
The earth that we call as our mother do we not have a duty to fulfill towards our mother earth if we are lucky enough to be born as human beings .
So lot of these deaths that I have seen over the years and than a lot of them in this pandemic made me think on this , that is the purpose of everyone,s life is only to fend for ourselves or we have a duty towards mother earth and everything living or non living that is a part of earth.
Since No one knows the future so we don’t know what is going to happen next moment. So if one wants to do anything in life but thinks will do it later than who knows weather life will give someone a chance to do that or not so time to make a start for anything is NOW.time to bring a small change in someone,s life is NOW, time to plant a tree is NOW. Time to find a meaningful purpose for our life is NOW.
So this is not a motivational speech neither am a motivational writer. I started writing to educate people mostly on health , financial planning and topics which I find interesting. Written after long today so thought to write on something which came to mind a lot of times in last two years that what is the purpose of our human life.
