Purpose in Life
#14
RE: Purpose in Life
Quote:"A society built around the individual, rather than the family, will petrify into unspeakable emptiness.
A society that focuses on the individual is a can be just as full as any one built on family .  


Quote:We are not made to be a collection of individuals running around chasing our own cravings. We are made for family, and for fellowship; for sacrifice and generosity; for love.
Yes we are it just so happens some of those individual ideals include the above . This is a false dichotomy. 

Quote:Love doesn’t come from that third book you wanted to write, or the award you wanted to win,
It is to some 


Quote:or the partnership you sought
It is to some 


Quote:None of that will come visit you when you are old and lonely, or sick and dying.
It will in your mind as will your pride in it as the final resolution comes .


Quote:All the stuff you chased down and hoarded into your little box will turn to dust before your eyes,
Hopefully you will join it . Because in death there is resolution .



Quote:and you’ll have only the souls you loved and gave your life for." - Jennifer Hardltline
Nope you'll have whatever you lived for and if the universe is kind as the light fades . You fade with a smile .
Seek strength, not to be greater than my brother, but to fight my greatest enemy -- myself.

Inuit Proverb
