I have been thinking about this for a long time now - most of us live just so that we may live. In other words, we are born and we start living and doing things just so that we may continue to live. If we choose to ignore the routine things, we'll get screwed no doubt. But then how many of us really get that extra time or have that extra motivation to go and do something beyond the ordinary? If you look at the things a person is supposed to take care of beyond 25 years of age - it is virtually limitless. The one thing that constantly troubles me is my lack of interest in developing a good acument for my own finances. It is a necessary evil. Fortunately, a lot of people are motivated by money, so they all do it very naturally. Observing myself, this doesn't seem to be the case. Sure, I'll like some money, but I know not of any ways to multiply my money except put it in the bank.
We grow up, get married so that things may be normal when we reach 35. Then we have kids so that things may be normal when we reach 60. Beyond that, we probably start counting our days. The biggest question mark one may have is how long they are going to live and how much to save up to go through all those years. It may quite happen that a person who saves up so much money very vigorously may not live up to enjoy all that and a person who doesn't save anything at all has a really long life and has to endure those last several years in relative poverty. So who knows the answer to this question? We all do our best, in the end. We do what we know to do and what we are good at. I bet quite a few people become so spiritual in their 60s mainly because they discover so many fundamental truths about life. What if you know all those now itself? It may make you feel old, but it may also give you an edge. It will open up your eyes to look at a lot of other unconventional opportunities that have always existed that we have ignored.
What's going to come out of working your ass off during this age? Life now is very competitive. To lead a basic life, one needs to do so much. In a populous country, this inevitably leads to corruption and rowdyism and what not? In one sense, if we look at humans as animals, we do our best to procreate and survive. Men hunt for food and wealth and tend to go to extremes to attain these. It's men's fundamental instinct to survive and take care of the family that comes into play. Of course humans are more intelligent than other species (at least that's what we would like to think), so we have women doing the same thing as well. Yet some books out there claim that we are all born for a purpose and we may not realize it even when we are very much in the act of doing it. I wonder what it is for me, of course.
