The Big Question

Its funny.

No really it is.

What drives man? Or humans for that matter?

Why exist? Why keep moving forward?

Many people try and answer the question of what is life? I on the other hand am not so concerned with what is life? we are already here, therefore why and try to explain something that has already happened. Instead of asking what is life? I would prefer to ask what to do with life?

"Stop and smell the rose"....... seems to be a common saying amongst people. Yet it seems to contradict the vast majority of the human race.

Many people seem to think that the goal of life is to earn money, marry, have children, and live happily ever after. Well this view is particularly western, but that is a discussion for another post.

So how do people go about getting to their goal? They go to school, where they go to classes and do homework. They then secure a high paying job, at which they work over 80 hours a week. They go out, maybe, on the weekends, usually with friends from work. They meet a member of the opposite sex, usually through work, and get married. They buy a house and have 2.5 kids.

This seems to be the general idea of a happy life. Yet most marriages, in today age, end within the first 5 years. Why is that? Why is it that many parents today say never have kids? Why are more and more people getting fired?

If you ask me todays ideal life, doesnt seem so ideal..............
