What exactly is the meaning, aim or purpose of Life?
From the first of June, 2018, I started writing Good Morning messages in the form of poems (Please read: ‘Good Morning Message #1‘).
The last such message was: ‘Good Morning Message #130‘.
Good morning Friends,
People ask what is the life’s purpose or aim,
As if they’d live better if they knew precisely.
I think it is an excuse that is totally lame,
For not doing what you have to do nicely.
Life has as much meaning as we put in it,
It is a clean canvas on which we have to paint.
For this God has given us the complete kit,
And even given us an idea, however faint.
It is for us to follow this rather faint light,
And go with confidence wherever it takes us;
Those who do, turn out to be bold and bright,
Others would have simply missed the bus.
We have to do the best in what our hands find,
Don’t look for lofty aims and even results;
You live well if you have this right in your mind,
Others would only exchange excuses and insults.
Here is an example, that makes it very clear,
If you are a cobbler, aim to be best in your trade.
At what you are required to do, don’t ever sneer,
Everyone is not born for a king to be made.
A bad king is much worse than a good farmer,
Who doesn’t waste his time thinking about things;
The king, in words and appearance, may be a charmer,
But it’s the farmer’s grit and resolve that gives him wings.
Life is exactly what you put in it!
