Why do I live?

A question appeared in my mind: why do we live and what is this all about? That is a simple question and I believe I am not alone who had that same question.

Is it about money and wealth and fame? If it is so, then where is the richest man, famous man, or powerful man in the 12th century? Who remembers him? Who cares about him now?

Is life about care and remembering? I see myself with a tremendous wanting to be and achieve something. I want to be known. I want to be rich and powerful. I want to be remembered. I want to feel satisfied by hearing some tribute from others. Do I live to get all this?

I see something that I am not alone at all. All people want and feel this same thing as me. The human bodies come from the same machine. So, our wants and feeling are the same. Regardless of your country, we are all same outcome of the same machine.

My point is, all these thoughts and feelings need careful attention to look. We may understand things that we never thought about.

Life isn't about being or achieving something. Of course, we need some occupation to live. To afford our food, shelter, and clothes. But seeing itself in thought structure like fame, wealth, and power, in a virtual way, may waste your limited lifetime. Because these things may eat you inside and you may be far away from the humankind of life. I don't write this passage to say you how to live your life, I don't mind what kind of life you want to live, it's all up to you.
