Reasons To Live
I wish more people have reasons to live...and I don't mean the typical single reasons to live...whether it's religion or love.
For then you risk living your life only for someone or something else - and not living a life that you wanted...but I guess that's hard to do unless you know why you're living for and what you want to do...and for most people...they are totally clueless in this department...simply because you have to find out to know...it's not just presented to you.
If you want it presented to you...just follow established rules...you know...like study to PhD...work in a career till you're at the top...marry...etc.
For many who lie in between...who don't want to follow standard rules...and don't want to search for their meaning in life either...then those maybe end up being the selfish ones who will do anything to survive...because their reason to live is just that - to live.
That's what I mean by I wish more people have reasons to live...that they find these reasons...it can be a combination...but living for just one thing risks you losing everything should that one thing fail.
It's too dangerous to live for just one thing.
It's too sad to live for just what's standard.
It's too selfish to live for just yourself.
Would be nice if more people lived for a few things in life...things which they thought about and not followed because everyone else did...then as a bonus, they won't be living just to survive either.
Maybe all we have to do is just spend some time alone thinking about things off and on...since we have the capability for it...but we rarely use it.
It's not that bad...those who don't spend time thinking...either destroy themselves...or allow themselves to be used by others...so in a way...your reason to live still exists...it just has no meaning to you.
The meaning of life is really simple...you just have to spend time off and on thinking about what things you want out of life which makes you happy...that's within your capability...if you think being rich makes you happy but you can't get there...you're not going anywhere :p
After all, that's what we're all here for...to just enjoy life :)
