While growing up, defining one's ultimate purpose was easier. Beautiful stories about the creation and God's desire for mankind as an instrument to promote his kingdom were comprehendible, maybe easier because life's reality had less demand from us. However, life was more beautiful while growing up, knowing just a few things was expected of us. But with evolution and growth, comes more confusion and questions. Questioning everything because it either seems wrong or unclear, it becomes a time when one questions everything he ever knew.
Now the world looks like a quest to make self relevance rather than promote God as our ancestors had done. It's more like a place for self achievement and boast, an ultimate hunt for fame and power. With each evolution and confusion comes hardship and a search for fruitless harvest. Life feels more safer years ago than it is now. Evolution, despite being relevant, has only brought changes that's stealing more from us than it gives.
The preacher who in his wisdom saw vanity upon the earth realized the fruitless labour that man goes through under the sun. But his conclusion was the ultimate resolution to it, bringing us back to what was more important in the olden days- Love and reverence for God. But then life makes it hard to focus, focus on the ultimate goal of humanity. Everything we ever need in life is found in him, but then the cloudiness around life does not let us focus on this absolute truth. We read yet do not understand, we look yet do not see, we hear yet do not comprehend. Life's principle is simple: seek first God's kingdom and all others will be added. But that will only be possible if you believe.
As far as I'm concerned, life is simple until you get married, then it gets complicated with children. I would conclude by saying that life is beautiful but it's also hard.
Hahahaha. Until one gets married? I haven't experience that side of life yet
If you are not married and have no children, I would say that you can still enjoy life and freedom. But maybe at some point it is right to change and try new things. !LUV
