What is the Purpose of Life ?

Normally we are too busy in our jobs and other daily routine chores that we hardly get time to think that why are we here? Why this world is created ? But somehow at times even with the hectic daily life in the back of our minds, we do feel that definitely there must be a purpose of behind creation of this world and our lives- something we were meant to accomplish.

Of course Allah Almighty, God or whatever power you believe in has created this world and human beings with a purpose and that is to Love, Care, Respect and Help one another while living in a society.

We do love, care and respect people who are our family and friends. But how many of us ever stopped by to carry the luggage of some old lady or feed someone who can't buy food? According to what I have observed so far, the purpose to send us on earth is to serve our fellow beings. There is no other job better than the job to help people in need, specially the sick, the disabled, the elderly ones and of course the children.

Here are a few simple ways to serve humanity:

• Smile as it costs nothing. This is the simplest thing you can do and trust me, by smiling, you not only keep others happy but lift up your spirits as well.

• Arrange some charity programs

• Take out time to visit hospitals and counsel patients

• Arrange free breakfast, lunch or dinner for people the week ends

• Visit orphanages with gifts to cheer up little ones

• Stay in touch with your neighbors so you find out when someone is sick and needs your help

Life is not all about collecting money, eating , drinking, laughing, having fun and enjoying- these are important aspects of your life for sure but not entirely what it is about. Life is meant to be much much more than this.

I agree helping one single person cannot change the world but hopefully it can change the life of someone who is deprived of minor daily needs. Our kind and hearty gesture can work magically.

An old saying is love, care and respect is a medicine which can heal up deep wounds. If that does not work increase the dose, just TRY IT!
