It's true that every human life on Earth has it's predestined plans to execute on planet Earth. The reality is that human beings have a limited time to spend on earth as they will age eventually and then die. The cycle continues til the world becomes tired of admitting new lives. But a controversial question was thrown and it was "should human beings live their lifes with a set purpose or just whirl away time since their days are short?" Different people have their opinions on this question and it's related branches. Let's dive into the world of my answer.
Do you believe that our lives need to be lived with some purpose?
I truly believed that human lives should have a sense of purpose attached to it. My reason is that human beings are the only creatures that has an advanced brains. Every infrastructures and inventions are all products of this brain owned by man. If they decide to whirl away time, then what we enjoy today would have not been seen. So, that's a clear reminder that we should prioritise our purpose on this planet Earth.
How can we give our lives a purpose to live a peaceful and healthy life?
If I am given an opportunity to suggest a possible way to find a purpose to a peaceful and healthy life, then I'll say that everything starts with you. The truth is that one's purpose does not come from afar but within. In order to live a peaceful and healthy life, start from your environment and make sure you correct the wrongs. From then, you can be prompted to go ahead to do more. If the environment is healthy, then a purpose has been defined for such individual.
What is your purpose in life?
My purpose in life is actually to help people around me and maintain my environment. We all know that different people with different capabilities lives in a same district. It's true that an individual cannot bridge the gap between the poor and the rich. But in my belief, it's good to help those who are genuinely in need so that they won't take drastic decisions that might end their lives.
I invite @kidi40, @alexanderpeace and @emmaboy23 to this contest.
I really enjoyed reading your thoughts about living life with purpose. I agree that having a sense of purpose can give our daily lives direction and motivate us to make better use of our time and abilities. I especially liked your point that purpose can begin with our own surroundings—sometimes helping people around us or improving our environment can be meaningful enough to give our lives a sense of direction.
Your personal purpose of helping people who are genuinely in need is also very thoughtful. Even small acts of kindness can make a real difference in someone's life. Thank you for sharing such a meaningful perspective on purpose, responsibility, and helping others.
