the purpose!

aah..I'm sure all of us at some point of our life would have stumbled upon this word purpose and most of the time it’s in the context of one's own life. This word usually troubles me; sometimes I feel this word brings more trouble than clarity in one's action or plans!

I find people, who are usually mechanical; not worried on the implication of their action or the impact, do not get bogged down by the purpose statement of their action. They seem to get happiness from smaller aspects of life and they are comfortable viewing life as a collection of activities which a person performs during his life..they do not constantly search for the thread which connects our actions and thoughts. Should this be a desirable state to be in? Does it justify thinking through each action just because we have the ability to think!

But then if we stop worrying about the objective and start running behind activities what are we there for ( the purpose is back!). Wouldn't life become empty and meaningless if we do not have a purpose, for example if we dint play to win or to have fun what good is to play ( if our Indian cricket team continue to lose and are not having any fun whats the use they playing or we watching them play!)..Hence can we say purpose is what provides us the energy and passion in life to keep us running?

hmmm I seem to have reached the same state I was when I started writing this piece.. confused!!
