What is the purpose of life?

Is there a greater purpose for as to why you were brought into this world? Are we actually destined for some purpose by a greater work at force or are we merely just brought into this existence from sex and then we die. The middle is of course our life; how we live it, our interactions, how we choose to perceive things, our actions and how we react to every situation we encounter. Is this life? Is this all there is to it?

Some people don’t get to see anything beyond their village, forced into marriages, living in backward looking countries, not being able to question their beliefs for it presents a danger to their whole inner world toppling. Whilst those in the western world are so afraid of people from a different country that they choose to go backwards, to a civilisation of nationalism. The people living in these polar worlds are in this reality where they just get by. That is all it is. Getting by…. birth, education, work, some may be lucky to get a year of retirement and then death.

But wait, does society not make us believe that if we love something enough we will never have to work a day in our life. And these passions are what society creates through this middle ground we call life.

Maybe there is more to it, maybe it is the little things that matter, what we have to be thankful for, raising a family, bringing a child into this same existence but please do excuse someone who has some serious problems trying to grasp this concept of life when they see their own as meaningless and pointless.
