Purpose

I have always looked for a reason to live in this world. For me, anything and everything we do should have a purpose. Similarly, shouldn’t there be a purpose for us to live? Won’t we feel lost without a purpose to fulfil?

Often, when I throw this question at my friends I receive different responses. Some say, there need not be a purpose for us to live (which is far beyond my comprehension to be honest.). Few say, all we want in life is to be happy, which is a bit too abstract to be a goal. Eventually, I decided that the whole purpose of life is finding the purpose itself! If you think of it that way, somehow it portrays life as unfair. Would it have been better if we were born with a purpose branded in our head? Is the path to discovering the purpose the most adventurous one we will take in our life?

Whatever be the case, I hope that I figure out why I am living for soon rather than figuring out what I lived for moments before I die.
