One of the thoughts that keep recurring in my mind is a question about the meaning of life. People start out their existence by wishing to be "somebody". One wants to become a pilot, another's dream is to build bridges, or be a teacher, or live in the wilderness, or be a mother... You want to pursue a career and someone else wants to be a homemaker. You want an exciting life and he/she prefers a quiet, well-regulated existence. We are all so different and therefore we have all diverse aspirations. My question is: when people achieve their goals, are they totally fulfilled? ARE YOU? I can't help wondering if doing what we wanted to do is enough to make our life complete, if material achievements are really fulfilling our life mission - if we have one. And this is now the BIG question: is it possible that we might have a mission other than working, having fun, maybe raising a family, keeping healthy and having friends?
