What is the point of life?

Deleted User

For much of my life I was always working towards something. As a kid it was doing well in school so I could go to uni. At uni it was doing well so I could get a good job. At work it was working hard to get promotions and pay rises and career progression.

But then at some point you have to ask yourself what the ultimate goal is, because no matter how hard we work, life is finite. It will end. Money, possessions and titles are no use when you’re dead.

Maybe we should stop telling kids to strive to progress and instead tell them to enjoy their moment.

  • This is THE question that you are pondering.  One of the things that give my life meaning IS pondering THE question.  Whilst I had thought that the answer was the key, I am now more minded to think that it is the pondering itself that can deliver what you seek.

    Let's take this up tomorrow perhaps....a worthy chat?
