What Is It All For

It's easy for us to sit idle as life passes us by. We're born, we live and unfortunately we must die. I say unfortunately because it's rare that I find people would have experienced all that life has to offer before their demise. For some there are children, that fill their lives with stories of endless laughter and childhood happiness. Then there are the people that have their jobs, they've worked their whole lives and they have found that their ultimate joy comes from "a job well done". I often think about people whose whole lives are consumed by their families, everything they do is for the fulfillment, approval and happiness of their loved ones. Of course along the way, some do find love.

Yes I smirked when I read that sentence too. But some people do find love, I don't mean they get married and have find someone to spend the rest of their lives with. I mean they really find love. But what is it all for? I go back to an earlier statement, "We're born, we live and unfortunately we must die". I have to admit that I think I've grown to be quite a cynic as of late. Its as if I've seen more in this lifetime than any ten people that have lived. But in the midst of my cynicism, I have to believe that what people claim to have found is real and works.

I'm not dumping on everyone who has found their ultimate purpose, whether it's in work, in family or in love. I just wonder. Have you ever even thought about it? When you do what you do, in word or in deed, what is it all for? Today I ask you to think about it all. Try to think about everything you do today and ask yourself, what is it all for?
