I was walking along the street when a stranger stopped me and asked me the way to a new restaurant. I answered and told him the route and direction carefully. As soon as I finished, the stranger thanked me and started off. To my surprise, he went in wrong direction. Then I stopped him at once and told him what wrong he had made.
Unexpectedly, he smiled and told me the truth that he didn’t really want to ask the way, but, instead, he was just trying to know whether everyone knew exactly where the new restaurant was, for he was the new owner of the restaurant. Then I knew who he was and what he wanted to do.
People hold various opinions on the purpose of life. Some think that they live for money, some for fame, some for fun. As to my opinion, I live for experiences, for experiences enable me to understand the true meaning of life.
The first reason of my belief is that money and fame are not adequate for leading a happy life. l see that many people obsessed with money and fame have no interest or time to enjoy family life, friend ship, sightseeing and things like that. Money is important in life, but the money-only idea leads to a monotonous life. Sometimes, extreme money seekers or fame followers violate the law and hurt others for that end. Secondly, living just for fun is also unacceptable to me. Humans are different from animals in that they have feelings and emotions. In variably avoiding sadness and anger only makes people dull and less sensible.
Now I will come back to my pointliving for various experiences, whether they are failures or successes, happiness or grieves. To learn from all the experiences, to gain self-content in all the happenings, and to enjoy life from different angles, you will find your life worthwhile and meaningful.
