What do we want from life?

No this is NOT a philosophical topic, as much as I love philosophy. 😆

This actually is inspired from MJHT and my physics teacher. Was watching one episode of the serial after ages yesterday, since a friend told me about Mayank-Nupur's 'serious' conversation about their lives, when something struck me. Actually a number of things I really liked, but this one was surely the best!

Mayank says to Nupur while watching an old friend of Nupur being a famous Bollywood director now:
" Kafi focussed hai life mein. Kuch logon ko pata hota hai ki unhe kya chahiye, aur woh une mil bhi jata hai, bas, life ka maksad pata hona chahiye!'

Then in the precap he said: "Life ki roz roz ki struggle mein, hum apne sapne, apne khwaab bhulte chale jaarehe hain."

Translation for those who need it: Some people know very well what they want, and they get it as well. Just, one needs to know their aim in life.

In life's every day struggle, we're forgetting our dreams, our aspirations...

Similar, not further than Friday morning, we had no physics classes because of all the activities at school. Our physics teacher took the opportunity to talk to the few of us who were there. Coincidentally, or maybe not, he said nearly what I saw Mayank say in that episode. He told us that one needs to know the direction one is going in life. If we are in the best girls school of the country, we cannot stop here and need to have a goal, a target in life. You should die with a satisfaction that you've lived your life.

That made me pause a few moments and think a bit. Both things could not be a coincidence, or if it was, it's a beautiful pausing moment indeed.

What do you think about your life? Do you have a goal, an aim? No need to be explicit about it, but let's talk whether you already have decided and are living up to it? Do you feel one should be serious about life, but not necessarily IN life? How important is your goal(s) to you? To what extent would you go to make it(them) happen?

am just attending life, and has no plans afterwards...😕Life is so much easier than we think -- All we have to do is this....... Accept the impossible, discard the indispensable, put up with the intolerable, and just smile at anything... of coarse doing these things is so much easier after two three drinks!!...j/k😛 ...I believe life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass... it's about learning to dance in the rain ...😊

So you mean you're just living life without any plans for the future, or you accept everything that comes on your way? Do you go with the flow, or do you just let yourself be flown?

I personally you cannot smile at anything. That's similar to the ideology which says let yourself be kicked in the ass even when you're right. I'd rather fight for what I want then let myself put up with the intolerable, let others trample upon and smile at it all. For me, you just cannot smile at everything or anything!

of coarse doing these things is so much easier after two three drinks!!...j/k😛 ...I believe life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass... it's about learning to dance in the rain ...😊

Oh this last bit, I LIKE. But it sorts of contradicts what you're trying to say earlier on. Or maybe not. I do love this quote, about learning to dance in the rain, but then I take it in another way: you make your own moments and opportunities rather than wait for any of them to pass on your journey of life. 😉




Personally, I never felt life was easy. There's a reason why we are yet far behind finding its origin. But then, I also believe, what's the fun if everything is known, if everything is too easy!!?? As Ajnu puts it: What's life without a little bit of grinding? 😆

😆Dont take life that much serious....just drop the idea about the future...if we keep thinking about future,You will be constantly afraid....and u start think life is not easy n other blah blah.......a child is born, we start feeding him poisons....ambition, achievement, success, richness, name, fame. We start poisoning his sources of being... in fact the habit is rooted in the philosophy of our life......we have been taught to becom achievers.... 'Achieve something'!!! ...this thought worry everybody...so reduce these thoughts...enjoy!.
