let's talk sth cheem

what is a complete life composed of exactly? what does a happy and fortunate life encompass? success? fame? wealth? health? love? family? friends? what exactly are the factors that makes one's life blissful?

fame and wealth can be taken away from you in the blink of an eye. for fear that these will be robbed from you will one really get to enjoy life as it really is? then again nowadays one needs money to buy what they want to achieve material comfort. and fame allows you to gain access to even more money and thus better material comfort. then fame and money can bring you to succeed which will make one more well-known and climb up the corporate ladder and in turn generate even more money. it's a vicious cycle.

good health. everyone also know your body will fail you in time to come. be it earlier or later. of course later would be a better choice, but it will still not last you till your deathbed. for that is why you will lie there: because your health has failed you (N/A to those who die young from accident or any other unnatural deaths like natural disaster) . though it will make your life easier for you will not wake up with backaches and move around walking like a mummy, or with much difficulty in other words. or you do not need to run to the loo to relief yourself because you have a weak stomach or bladder.

then what about love, friends and family i asked myself. true once in a while they might even contribute to the problems in life, but it is a fact that they are still a part of your life. no man is an island. the memories you all shared together, whether good or bad, help to build and shape your life. we all play main character in our own lives and supporting roles in other's. some come and so leave. there's no telling exactly how they contribute to your life but they do, small contributions or large contributions. so do they make one have a happy life in a way after all? my love family and friends have been important in all parts of my life and i'm happy to know and have them.

i think it's best in life to have an ultimate goal to achieve. some short term targets once in a while to help you past your time but never to lose sight of that one ultimate goal in life. then the best ending to a life would be to achieve it, then die soon. then you will not feel aimless after attaining that final personal glory and become idle.

sad to say not many today have that goal in mind that they want to achieve. many blindly go to work day after day then rest during the weekends, and week after week the same routines repeat themselves hazardously. many often settle so comfortably into routines that they stop searching for their ultimate goals. and me, i have yet to find it.
