RE: The daily Master's quote - The purpose of life

in #life7 years ago (edited)

Never ask your mind what's the purpose of life because it will always give you a good answer

Reading this reminded me of Viktor Frankl’s writing:

“Ultimately, man should not ask what the meaning of his life is, but rather he must recognize that is is he who is asked.”

I am truly sick of hearing that the purpose of life is happiness. That’s BS. Happiness is a fleeting emotion that comes and goes. You can’t keep it in your life constantly. Plus if happiness is the only emotion to seek, what about the rest of the emotions we experience. Are we saying we are less human because we get angry or sad from time to time? They are a part of being human too — important parts that we should experience during life. We grow from these experiences. I just want to make the best out of this life and experience things the way they are.

I would be waiting for your next post @nomad-magus.

Indeed.
