It's All About Experiences

An exploration of the meaning of life

As I sit in this cafe, sipping my over-priced latte, whilst pondering what I should be writing for Kiwibox, I think to myself, why am I here? Why did I bus into town for a $4.95 latte that's not doing my body any good, when for a fraction of the price, I could have stayed at home and made myself an comparably caffeinated cup of instant latte. The questions don't end there either. Why, when considering the overwhelming number of deadlines I already had, did I even sign up to be a Kiwibox reporter? Really, sometimes I think I just like to ask for trouble!

When I was young I wanted to be a teacher, a singer, a doctor and every other job under the sun. I was constantly planning. Now that I am older, but not necessarily wiser, I am no more decisive than I was at three and no further in achieving any of the above careers. I still don't know where I want to be in the future, the only difference is now, having matured into relative adulthood, I stress over it. We worry about our grades not being up to par, our financial situations being inadequate and accidents we can't prevent. The older I get the more I worry. The more I learn about life, the more unstable I become!

I liked your article, esp. the thought of making a comparison b/w
animals and humans. But I have a contradiction. I feel that
setting goals in life and making an effort to achieve them, is
important because it gives us an incentive to work harder and to
live life up to its very best...Whatever is to happen later,
should be left to Almighty God...but this does not mean that one
should be materialistic...feelings and sprituality are very
important.
Great points. I wish more people had this sort of perspective on
small stuff and then on life overall. It's also nice to read stuff
like this once in a while. Everything happens for a reason or
because of a reason. This blog sort of makes me feel grounded and
more in touch with reality.
i liked it. you have an interesting veiw point on a lot of things.
Interesting article. I can relate somewhat. I often wonder what
we're all in this for. What do we *really* want? What are we
really striving for? Do we want to be successful to prove
something to ourselves? To others? Do we want to find success in
a particular field because of a passion for it? Do we simply like
to compete with each other? Why do anything at all?
